something i find interesting, but haven't found any literature on is a theory of pressure.. the different types of pressure found in our universe, their causes, behaviors, explanations of the very existence of pressure, and how it may relate to macro and micro physics.

a thought i had (albiet one you'd think was stoned) that had to do with UFO footage, theories, and the general behavior such maneuverable crafts. of the millions of videos we can find containing UFO's (among them fake, real, and simply mistaken), much of the authenticated UFO footage shows crafts moving silently, and either to quickly or too slowly to be any known aircraft. sometimes hovering or snailing along, and sometimes instantly off into the horizon.. in the blink of an eye.

if there were some way to reduce the pressure surrounding any aircraft to none on it's surface area, it may bear incredible improvements in its ability to travel deliberately and also much much more quickly. if we were able to create enough controlled negative pressure directly above an object, might it theoretically levitate without thrust?

perhaps an better understanding of how gravity relates to, or may even be a property of pressure would help us advance our understanding of the universe?

My suggestion would be to take a physics class.

We understand pressure quite well. Look up the kinetic theory of gases for an explanation of pressure in gases.
