The essence of any propulsion concept is to overcome gravity. Anti‐gravity is a natural means to achieve this. Thus, the technology to pursue anti‐gravity, by using superheavy elements, may provide a new propulsion paradigm. The theory of superluminal relativity provides a hypothesis for existence of elements with atomic number up to Z = 145, some of which may possess anti‐gravity properties. Analysis results show that curved space‐time exists demonstrating both gravitic and anti‐gravitic properties not only around nuclei but inside the nuclei as well. Two groups of elements (Z < 64 and 63 < Z <145) exist that demonstrate these capabilities. The nuclei of the first group of elements have the masses with only the property of gravity. The nuclei of the elements of the second group have the masses with both properties: gravity and anti‐gravity in two different ranges of curved space‐time around the nuclei.. The hypothetical element with Z = 145 is the unique among all elements whose nucleus has only anti‐gravity property. It is proposed that this element be namedHawking, in honour of Stephen W.
