So my question is: If such a material were possible, what really would happen if it were created in a horizontal sheet of a few meters width and length? Assume that the sheet is fastened down and unmoving. While a good story, this doesn't strike me as good science, even by the standards of the late 19th century when Wells wrote it. Fortunately, the resulting maelstrom catches the sheet itself up and hurls it into space, thus narrowly avoiding the complete removal of Earth's atmosphere. The air rushing in also suddenly becomes weightless and is pushed up as well in a great fountain spewing air into space. Wells describes that the air above the sheet suddenly became weightless and is pushed up the pressure of the surrounding air, which then rushes in to fill the void. In the story, cavorite is accidentally first created as a horizontal sheet. In this story, the characters are able to travel into space by means of a newly created alloy called "Cavorite", which is able to block all gravitational attraction. Wells, and finally have the opportunity to read The First Men in the Moon. I recently obtained a collection of several stories by H.G.
