plays include the Pulitzer Prize-winning Glengarry Glen
Ross, American Buffalo, Speed the Plow and
Oleanna. The new solution of Einstein's field
equation shows that the payload would 'fall weightlessly
' in an antigravity
beam even as it was accelerated close to the speed of light. In effect, the payload
would be hitching a ride
on a star.
