Douglas G. Torr

Physicist, senior co-author with Ning Li on the University of Alabama in Huntsville "Li–Torr" gravitomagnetic-superconductor paper series (1991 Physical Review D, 1992 Physical Review B, 1993 Foundations of Physics Letters) proposing that superconductors could interact detectably with gravity. Matters to this vault as the co-author whose name the "Li–Torr" claim carries equally with Li's — the original proposal, its one located formal rebuttal, and its non-replication all target the pair jointly, not Li alone.

• 2026-08-24: The 1992 Physical Review B paper (co-authored with Li), read in full, turns out not to state the "generator" claim either — the actual first appearance of "generate gravity in the laboratory" framing is a 1992 APS conference abstract Torr presented jointly with Li, a year ahead of their 1993 paper.

• 2026-08-25: That 1992 APS abstract itself could not be located after a genuine multi-route search; its wording is known only through a single secondary transcription, not independently corroborated. (claim-li-torr-1992-aps-abstract-unlocated-single-transcription)
