Despite numerous attempts by others this effect has never been demonstrated. But it has.

Not something we've ever seen ... so ,yeah, just some interesting intellectual workouts.No black holes required at all.
All you need is a simple capacitor.
Ivanov did some real physics in his life, but his work on this was soundly rejected, especially when he proposed a static solution could provide a means of propulsion!The Weyl-Ivanov solution cannot be rejected, it is a fact of science.
It represents the exact formula for the Biefeld-Brown effect: then you can use supercapacitors as a form of propulsion, the formula spells this out very clearly.
Weyl was a real physicist alright, but not exactly a household name.Weyl was the best theoretical physicists in the world, 1917-1955.
“And now I want to ask you something more: They tell me that you and Einstein are the only two real sure-enough high-brows and the only ones who can really understand each other. I won’t ask you if this is straight stuff for I know you are too modest to admit it. But I want to know this -- Do you ever run across a fellow that even you can’t understand?”
“Yes,” says he.
“This will make a great reading for the boys down at the office,” says I. “Do you mind releasing to me who he is?”
“Weyl,” says he.
(an interview that Paul Dirac gave in America back in April, 1929)
One writer's opinion piece. Dr. Donahue's paper was peer-reviewed and it includes the actual tables which do prove his point.
There is no math in that chapter. But there is, the author references each and every conclusion with the very best works available today, which do include the calculations.
Now, let me address the numerical calculations for the n-body problem.
All Hamiltonian systems which are not integrable are chaotic.
Since the solar system is not integrable, and experiences unpredictable small perturbations, it cannot lie permanently on a KAM torus, and is thus chaotic.
KAM theory is valid for "sufficiently" small perturbations.
In reality, the perturbations in the solar system are far too large to apply KAM theory.
So, the mathematicians have to rely on computing Lyapunov exponents, in order to try to predict any region of instability/chaos.
Jack Wisdom (MIT): It is not possible to exclude the possibility that the orbit of the Earth will suddenly exhibit similar wild excursions in eccentricity.
Even measuring initial conditions of the system to an arbitrarily high, but finite accuracy, we will not be able to describe the system dynamics "at any time in the past or future". To predict the future of a chaotic system for arbitrarily long times, one would need to know the initial conditions with infinite accuracy, and this is by no means possible.
Lyapunov exponents and symplectic integration.
Let d(t) be the distance between two solutions, with d(0) being their initial separation. Then d(t) increases approximately as d(0)e
λt in a chaotic system, where λ is the Lyapunov exponent. The inverse of the Lyapunov exponent, 1/λ, is called the Lyapunov time, and measures how long it takes two nearby solutions to diverge by a factor of e.
Sussman and Wisdom's 1992 integration of the entire solar system displayed a disturbing dependence on the timestep of the integration (measurement of the Lyapunov time).
Thus, different researchers who draw their initial conditions from the same ephemeris at different times can find vastly different Lyapunov timescales.
Wayne Hayes, UC Irvine
To show the importance and the dependence on the sensitivity of the initial conditions of the set of differential equations, an error as small as 15 meters in measuring the position of the Earth today would make it impossible to predict where the Earth would be in its orbit in just over 100 million years' time.
“The word ‘chaotic’ summarizes many fundamental concepts characterizing
a dynamical system such as complex predictability and stability. But above
all, it acts as a warming of the difficulties which are likely to arise when trying to
obtain a reliable picture of its past and future evolution. As an example, a
commonly accepted definition states that a system is ‘unstable’ if the trajectories of
two points that initially are arbitrarily close . . . diverge quickly in time. This has
strong implications, as small uncertainties in initial conditions . . . might [also] be
consistent with completely different future trajectories: The conclusion is that we
can exactly reproduce the motion of a chaotic system only if WE KNOW, WITH
ABSOLUTE PRECISION, THE INITIAL CONDITIONS – A STATEMENT
THAT, IN PRACTICE, CAN NEVER BE TRUE."
Alessandra Celletti, Ettore Perozzi, Celestial Mechanics: The Waltz of the Planets
Let us take a closer look the chaotic dynamics of planetary formation; thus, a clear indication that the initial conditions cannot be predicted with accuracy (as we have seen, a mere 15 meters difference in the data will have catastrophic consequences upon the calculations).
OFFICIAL SCIENCE INFORMATION
Four stages of planetary formation
Initial stage: condensation and growth of grains in the hot nebular disk
Early stage: growth of grains to kilometer-sized planetesimals
Middle stage: agglomeration of planetesimals
Late stage: protoplanets
For the crucial stages, the initial and early stages, prediction becomes practically impossible.
As if this wasn't enough, we have absolute proof that in the age of modern man planet Earth underwent sudden pole shifts (heliocentrical version), thus making null and void any integration of the solar system/Lyapunov exponents calculations which do not take into account such variations of the system's parameters:

In 1961, Lorenz was running a numerical computer model to redo a weather prediction from the middle of the previous run as a shortcut. He entered the initial condition 0.506 from the printout instead of entering the full precision 0.506127 value. The result was a completely different weather scenario.
Here is the set of Lorenz equations:
Now, the set of differential equations which describe the planetary orbits is much more complicated than this.
NOTHING can be said about the RE heliocentrical system beyond a time scale of 300 YEARS.

"In a resonant, orbitally unstable or "wild" motion, the eccentricities of one or more of the terrestrial planets can increase in a century or two until a near collision occurs. Subsequently the Principle of Least Interaction Action predicts that the planets will rapidly "relax" into a configuration very near to a (presumably orbitally stable) resonant, Bode's-Law type of configuration. Near such a configuration, small, non-gravitational effects such as tidal friction can in a few centuries accumulate effectively to a discontinuous "jump" from the actual phase-space path to a nearby, truly orbitally stable, path. Subsequently, observations and theory would agree that the solar system is in a quasi-periodic motion stable in the sense of Laplace and orbitally stable. Also, numerical integrations backward in time would show that no near collision had ever occurred. Yet in actual fact this deduction would be false."
"I arrived independently at the preceding scenario before learning that dynamical astronomer, E. W. Brown, president of the American Astronomical Society, had already outlined the same possibility in 1931."

What this means is that the interval of assured reliability for Newton's equations of gravitational motion is at most three hundred years.

Within this 300 year time interval, we again have the huge problem of the sensitive dependence on initial conditions.
