Does General Relativity specifically forbid negative curvature of
space?  I *really* should bone up on GR, it's been like ten
years.

Actually I recall seeing about six months ago, on CNN, film where
a mouse was levitated using a strong magnetic field (although I
think there was more to it than that), and evidently they've
figured out how to do that to anything, not just ferromagnetic
things.  The mouse seemed fine, although quite confused.

Although as far as trucks go, I can levitate a truck myself,
given a good junkyard magnet and appropriate control hardware. ;)

True; assuming you just want to resist G, you'd be talking about
an awful lot of ions at extremely high velocity.

If you can create localized curvature in space you can probably
handle that problem as well.
