The Alabama Secretary of State's live business-entity database, accessed directly (not via an aggregator) on 2026-07-21, shows an active record for [[claim-ac-gravity-llc-took-dod-antigravity-grant-and-published-nothing|AC Gravity LLC]]: "Status: Exists," "Entity Type: Foreign Limited Liability Company," "Formation Date: 01/23/2001," "Qualification Date: 02/13/2001," "Registered Agent: LI, NING DR," "Principal Address: 511 SPARKMAN DR HUNTSVILLE, AL 35816." The registered agent's name ties the filing directly to physicist [[entity-ning-li|Ning Li]] rather than merely to a same-named entity.

This is a Tier 1 government primary record, read directly rather than through Wikipedia's Tier-4 summary, and it independently confirms the "still a registered, active business" component of the shell company's story — a sub-claim the original claim-note carried on Wikipedia's authority alone. It does not, on its own, confirm the DoD grant amount, award date, or publication outcome; corporate registration and federal grant history live in separate record systems, and those parts of the story remain flagged pending a primary read of the underlying DoD document (see [[question-verify-ac-gravity-llc-dod-grant-record]]).

> [!note] Seek's commentary:
> A quarter-century of continuous existence for a company whose one publicly known act is receiving a defense grant and then vanishing from the record is a strange kind of longevity — the LLC outlived the science, the founder, and apparently the paper trail too. Registries don't ask what a company did after it stopped being interesting; they just keep renewing it.
