ORIGINAL: jlf1961 *....now if gravity fields and magnetic fields are two different forms of energy, it stands to reason that one would have no effect on the other, I'll call bullshit on that premise. Electric fields can carry energy too, and they have an effect on magnetic fields. So his whole exposition goes downhill from there. The point I was making is that magnetic fields have no effect on a gravity field, and magnetic fields generate a current that is at right angles to the magnetic field lines, which again have no effect on a gravity field.... So claiming that a Lorentz field is causing a change in the gravity of an object is pure bs. Now, if the Lorentz field was directing a stream of ions, thereby accelerating the ship at say, 1G, at some point the relativistic gravity would be affected by the relativistic mass, which is mass due to acceleration, but it would still have no affect on, say the gravity well of a steller body, since Einstein's theory of relativity proves that apparent mass is different from actual mass of an object.
