The hunt for zero point: One man's journey to discover the biggest secret since the invention of the atom bomb

About this book

The nuclear bomb programme was the culmination of a huge expensive research development project so secret that even days before the explosion of the first bomb many people said it was impossible. But what if at the same time America had discovered another strand of technology that was even more powerful than atomic science a weapon so powerful it needs no fuel to fly at 17000 miles per second? Defence journalist Nick Cook reveals a 50-year conspiracy to surpress a technology based on anti-gravity way ahead of its time. Gravity control: technology that can cancel out the weight of objects or be transformed into engines that produce energy from nothing promising safe pollution-free power limitless propulsion - and weapons potential The US aerospace and defence industry announced in 1956 that it was on the brink of a great scientific discovery and that the breakthrough would come before the decade was out. But it never happened; the revolution died before it had begun. That was the official version of events. The truth however Cook maintains is very different and this book traces his 10-year investigation to prove that America cracked the gravity code and classified the technology at unheard of security levels. In his pursuit of the truth he went to the heart of US aerospace development - a regime so secret it does not officially exist. Cooks trail took him eventually to Germany searching out a repository of technical secrets buried 50 years earlier by the Nazis. There among a cache of unofficial projects run by the SS and hidden by the Holocaust he learned the secret of Zero Point.
