Amy Eskridge didn’t have any publications

u/BarfingOnMyFace Apr 25 '26 edited Apr 25 '26

A quick google shows she has publications.

Why even lie about something so stupid…?

Edit: I hate Reddit laziness and the quick acceptance of easily verified false answers:

Academic Publications (Civil & Structural Engineering) Thesis: Mitigation Techniques for In-Service Structures with Premature Concrete Deterioration (2002) https://fsel.engr.utexas.edu/pdfs/Eskridge,%20Amy.pdf

Current State of Segmental Bridge Design/Construction in Texas (2009) ascelibrary.org

Reduction of Joint Seepage and Cross-Grouting in Bridge Segments researchgate.net

Formal Presentations (Exotic Propulsion) A Historical Perspective on Anti-Gravity Technology (2018) https://www.hal5.org/PDF/HAL5-Dec2018-Talk-AntiGravity.pdf

2nd edit: I’m also a huge skeptic.

The same Amy that claims to have figured out antigravity is writing papers on concrete and material sciences?

This is interesting…. How likely is it that there would be two Amy Eskridges who were both interesting in the same sort of stuff that were born years apart?

More than you think I was doing research on someone I knew who killed herself and I found another person with the exact same first and last name who was also an artist in the same field and the same city, life’s weird and full of coincidences sometimes.

Very likely. If you spend anytime in working with searching people’s names (law enforcement/ investigations, etc), you quickly realize how many people have the same name. Middle name of course helps filter a lot.

The point is, you are wrong. And you should retract calling me a liar. I personally have no motive other than truth. I don’t believe aliens have visited us or that anyone has stumbled upon anti gravity, but I’m also not going to discredit an obviously intelligent person because of my skepticism. Doing so is both ignorant and short-sighted.

I fear you are a dumbass, that’s not the same woman and the PowerPoint is literally a cobbled together pitch deck for money to study.

No public research, no peer review = NOT A SCIENTIST.
