Re: EM Drive

That said if real the most interesting thing isnt the propulsion but using it as a way to learn more about how nature works. You sound like more the pure scientist....more power to you, we need folks like that. Doubt if Einstein cared much about rather his theory of relativity allowed "warping" of ...

Re: Erdogan is going to get us all killed!

Democracies are 69 cooks making soup. 50 years!!!??? LOL!!! One guy gets in and applies his 'genius' strategy, then the next 'genius' gets in and sees things differently. Get real.... This is the nature of a democracy. How many trillions spent so far in the Muddle East? Now I imagine I will be told...

Re: Erdogan is going to get us all killed!

]Quite probable. But see also the backchannel Saudi/Israeli deals. Everyone deals with everyone in the ME. The Saudi/Israeli rapprochement dates publicly from about 2006. Probably secretly for a few years before that. They are allies against Iran and Hezbollah. Iran believes that if Syria falls com...

Re: Erdogan is going to get us all killed!

Everyone deals with everyone in the ME. They just don't necessarily admit it. It is apparently not a vague or tenuous "every body does it" thing at all. It is apparently linked directly to Erdogan's son. Quite probable. But see also the backchannel Saudi/Israeli deals. Everyone deals with everyone ...

Re: Erdogan is going to get us all killed!

Even assuming the Russians overflew Turkish airspace, their actions can in no way have been construed as threatening Turkey, unless the Turks think attacking ISIS terrorists is a threat to their sovereignty. The Russians were attacking Turkomen in "Syria." Consider how the Russians would react if t...

Re: Erdogan is going to get us all killed!

While I am no fan of Erdogan, this is a little extreme and not accurate. Erdogan loves ISIS Agreed. Erdogan is Ikhwan, not Wahhabi. They're fighting for same niche in Sunni Islam, but are not the same. And Putin is in Syria to support Assad, not necessarily suppress ISIS. The two are not identical,...

Re: p-B11 Fast Ignition Scheme Using PW, ps-scale Laser Pulses

This ain't NIF. This is not thermal compression of the pellet, but electromagnetic compression induced using two picosecond lasers; and the claimed gain is enormous. A gain of several hundred. So a Q of several tens in hardware. Close to the claimed gain for Winterberg's 2003 design, which also use...

Jim's latest update indicated that the emdrive and cannae drives worked only when plastic inserts were placed in the metal chambers - a possible dielectric/Mach effect.

Re: 85 F-35'S now in service

F35 unable to fire main gun until 2019. Tried too hard to make a plane that is a jack of all trades but master of none. This thing is the second coming of the F4. It will end up serviceable; it will never be good. It is NOT the second coming of the F16 that it should've been in a second generation ...

Couder's oil pan experiments and pilot wave interpretation SCREAM that QM is a second-order derivative of classical physics.

Re: EM Drive

I think there are 2 different events occurring at the moment. The first is the experiment-based community discussion, which I'm fine with because I think it's the best way to confront criticisms in the work and experimentation. The second is Dr. White's theory, which it appears several with in the ...

Re: Will Excess Baggage Force Hillary to Take a Medical Exit

A late exit will leave the Dem's in a scramble. But maybe for the Dem's that doesn't matter. Hillary rolled REAL lucky on the chaos dice with her stroke in late 2012. One million miles of flying as SecState has consequences, especially at her age. Back to frequent pressurized environments and sitti...
