I have spent some time talking about Dr. Baker. So I thought i might expand on the work of Dr. Baker.
High-Frequency Gravitational Waves
Quote:
If we can generate ripples in Einstein's fabric of space-time, then many applications become available to us. Some examples include:
1. Multi-channel communications (both point to point and point to multipoint through all material things – the ultimate wireless system). One could communicate directly through the Earth from New York to Beijing, China without the need for fiber optic cables, microwave relays, or satellite transponders – antennas, cables, and phone lines would be things of the past!
2. A remote means for causing perturbations to the motion of objects such as missiles (anything from bullets to ICBMs), spacecraft, rogue comets or minor planets, land or water vehicles or craft – a totally new propulsion system!
3. Remote coalescing of clouds of hazardous vapors, radioactive dust, etc. by changing the gravitational field in their vicinity.
4. The potential for through-earth or through-water “X-rays” in order to observe subterranean structures, geological formations (such as oil deposits), create a transparent ocean, view three-dimensional building interiors, buried devices, etc.; and
5. The potential for remotely disrupting the gravitational field in a specific region of space and even producing nuclear reactions there!"

There are further pieces of information related to this article (which basically summarizes his work during calendar year 2006):

I am sure just about anyone would agree that netting even one of the above capabilities would make the research worthwhile. There are things that he has not discussed that could likely be far more worthwhile.
Consider the implications of being able to transmit data at lightspeed, without wires? The only thing that would be superior would be the proposed "Entangled Photon" approach to ultra secure communications.
His research (as part of Gravwave, LLC) is closely tied to the current Chinese efforts. Keep in mind, he is associated with Lockheed Martin (listing Buzz Aldrin as a business partner on his website,
www.gravwave.com) as well as a professor, running the preeminent HGFW research department in American (and possibly world) academia at UCal - Berkely.
The below video is a 16 minute presentation (I believe you can find the .ppt in an .mht format on his website) discussing the China endeavor. He shows a lab in China, stating "the amount of money that they are willing to spend on this research is staggering".

There is an extensive bio on him here:
http://www.drrobertbaker.com/cv.htm
But some highlights include:
Quote:
...While on a two-year tour of active duty in the Air Force he worked on a variety of classified aerospace projects...
...was appointed to the Academic Review Committee on Gravitational Research with the U. S. Army from 2001 to 2003...
...Advisory Professor Chongqing University, China 2004...
...Dr. Baker has been Project Manager on three prototype development, fabrication, and test projects under contract to the U. S. Navy and Principal Investigator on several NASA and USAF projects while Director of Lockheed’s Astrodynamic Research Center

This is certainly a lead that I will be watching. I can't be the only one who finds it interesting that we are allowing this man to work so closely with China. If you look on his website there are pictures of him laughing during a meal on a boat in China. You can see the local peasants paddling by.
And this guy worked on classified projects? Did we forget about the Chinese at Los Alamos?
