Gravity has been well-described since Isaac Newton (maybe not well-explained; it is a work in progress). Inertia and momentum are well-defined in any beginning physics class. General Relativity may not work because it involves flawed logic (like the so-called "equivalence principle"). Geomagnetic fields are thought to require molten planetary cores by which a dynamo is generated by convection currents. Some planets or moons seem not to have them. Others have them very strongly. We don't even know if UFOs are "something."
I agree that knowledge can be lost. We have no idea how to make "Greek Fire," for instance. And there are plenty of examples of modern technology that has come and gone, for which we no longer have the knowledge of its construction (such as 16-inch naval cannon). Our science works. It's not designed to "cover up" anything. The very expression is incoherent.
Nothing sets humankind free from humankind. If you had a credit card with a billion-dollar limit, how would you live? As though you were "free"? You don't seem to appreciate what we have, or how huge even small improvements are when you are close to poverty.
Newtonian physics do not accurately predict gravity, never mind explain what it is. We similarly understand what effect inertia and momentum have in a given physics problem, but again we do not know what they are. Why do these phenomena exist?
General relativity scales better, but it still breaks down at the extremes, and thus still doesn’t accurately explain how gravity works. And again, it doesn’t explain what gravity is, why does this phenomenon exist? Its explanations require us to just fudge the numbers and assume that there is extra mass which can’t be observed.
Our science works well enough for our current purposes, but it always breaks down at some extreme or another. A grand unified theory still escapes us. It did not escape Tesla, electricity is key to understanding all these phenomena as well as understanding the ways in which GR and newtonian physics break down.
For example, take inertia and momentum. Imagine that the universe is infinite or at least exceedingly large, and that gravity operates instantaneously and across infinite distance. Inertia is thus the cumulative effect of the gravity of the entire universe operating on a given body, which requires energy to overcome. An object pushed in one direction is thus falling towards one side of the universe and stopping it requires energy as well.
As for what gravity is, it’s electric attraction, the cumulative effect of the electrical charge of every atom in a given physics problem. GR breaks down at the extreme because mass alone doesn’t predict how much pull a given object will have on another: there exist bodies that pull harder and bodies that hardly pull at all. No need for dark matter, no need for black holes.
Yes, Tesla tech could completely free people from our open air prison. It would enable someone to go off to a remote wilderness and generate all the power needed to power a small community and grow plenty of food. It also enables one to “melt” and levitate rocks and other materials like the ancients used to, freeing one from needing a society to provide building materials. Understanding why we’re stuck to the surface of the earth with gravity enables one to move against the gravitational field without “leaving something behind,” it’s pure electric propulsion and could easily send a man to Mars or beyond. This is why we are living in “the matrix” as far as scientific knowledge goes. If we could leave how would they keep us as cattle?
