Question: How long did it take to turn South Korea into a democracy? For decades it looked like an impossible task. Same for Taiwan. Changing a culture takes time. Took the Romans a century or two to civilize the Gauls. I don't think we leave the Ummah after this coming round. OK just my two cents ...

There are also the five videos.

I trust Paul March that the results are not fake, but I would note to you, Sonny had null results on both the warp experiments and on the DC thrusters. So far as I'm aware, everything that has worked, has been a Mach Effect thruster cast under another name. There has been no evidence that the QVF m...

thanks for the video. Very interesting. Specially the part of Q-Thrusters, where although I am somewhat skeptical, Dr White claims they got some pretty good results in N/W. (the warp drive part itself is just too early yet so it´s pure theory that won´t see application in the next 100 years) If the...

It will trip us from the current stagcession to 2008-Mk2.

Uranium is very heavy. I don't know if any fission could be utilized and what it's contribution would be to the temperature of the plasma. I don't think there's much doubt some of the fission energy could be realized, the question is how much. In Winterberg's usual monomaniacal fashion this would b...

A more recent video about their current work (summer): http://nextbigfuture.com/2013/11/john-slough-personally-explains-his.html#disqus_thread That's mostly about the FDR rocket derivative, not the Fusion Engine power source. As to the FDR, I do wonder how much advantage could be gained in going to...

You're lack of reading comprehension is really funny. These additive manufacturing parts are strong enough and accurate enough to be used without further machining. The whole of the article directly contradicts what you just posted. Nanotechnology has nothing to do with this. I'll be impressed when...

It's not hard to make a rocket go hypersonic. To make a combined cycle engine that can transition through the dead zone around Mach 3 is the hardest part. Add a rocket stage and make this a marginal RBCC engine. The dead zone is M2.5-M4, "only" about 500m/s dv. Add some oxidizer and a small-ish eje...

Is this a political document or an actual scientific document? The IPCC's AR5 SPM is a political document - the "Summary for Policy Makers" - its purpose is essentially self-explanatory. IPCC is saying it will revise the underlying scientific documents to ensure "consistency" with the SPM, not vice...

Barack Obama’s Syria speech was an incoherent mess – he is outperforming Jimmy Carter as the most feeble US president of modern times Screw modern times. Try all time. Time for a new thread - this one's title is outdated. These days are starting to have the stench of the 1930s about them. 2008 was ...

I guess we'll see. . .

Care to be less cryptic?
