Part 3/7:
The impact of the Hutchinson Effect has been profound, captivating scientists and military intelligence alike. Tom McDonald, an astrophysicist trained at MIT, noted the impossibility of connecting electricity and magnetism to gravity, suggesting that if Hutchinson's claims were validated, they could revolutionize physics and dramatically decrease the cost of space travel.
As news of Hutchinson's experiments reached the military’s upper echelons, interest surged. The U.S. Intelligence and Defense agencies recognized the potential implications of a gravity-defying technology and sought to investigate Hutchinson's findings further.
