If you are referring to the M-E impulse term as a transient inertia damping field or spherical kink in the G/I field around the local mass that propagates away at the speed of c both forwards and backwards in time, my answer is yes it is. In other words, the G/I field IS the source of inertia. If y...

Time for a possibly absurdly optimistic prediction. :wink: Note the 'possibly' in the title. Using wildly optimistic, but at least possible, peramiters to figure the performance of an imaginary Polywell, and ignoring pesky problems like Bremsstrulung, plasma boundary arguments, thermalization, pote...

It sounds to me like the mach-effect thruster is somewhat analogous to a boat motor propeller: Instead of displacing and pushing on a medium of water, it does so on the medium of the gravinertial field of the universe?

Would a fractional output of the drive to allow for a slowed descent help with the heat issue of reentry?Perhaps those flimsy ceramics that keep getting damaged on the space shuttle would no longer be needed?

It's WB-9.

Or so they want us to believe...

WB9 will be built on the international space station. The project will be overseen by Ed Wood.

I took it to mean pB11 producing alphas which can ideally be converted directly to drive the DC current with more force then it took to make the fusion happpen.

Y'see, this is why you need to read the math portions of Feynman's lectures in addition to just trying to get the gist of things. He explains things like units, dimensional analysis, etc. Yeah, I do try to comprehend the most I can with the math in the book, but he uses a lot of terms that aren't d...

oh, that makes sense. thanks

G is a fundamental physical constant, the Newtonian constant of gravitation. It is experimentally determined to equal 6.674 28(67) x 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 See http://physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/cuu/Value?bg|search_for=gravitational+constant I hope this link works. For some reason the standard method of en...

Cool. An anti-neutrino seems rather benign. Thanks guys

weird. There must be some sort of a byproduct particle being emitted, or some sort of radiation. A neutron, being larger than a proton, capturing yet another particle, with the net result being a smaller particle than the total mass, thats just weird.

cool. So if clusters of neutrons with positron shells start to accumulate as 'elements' are these what the standard model considers 'exotic particles'? I'm still making my way through The Particle Adventure between studying for a quiz

I've just skipped over a lot in the first Feynman book concerning the math so far and tried to absorbs the concepts, there are a lot of expressions I am just unfamiliar with that I haven't come across in any of my math or science classes yet. Also, something thats been irking me from the Tuva series...

Yeah I saw that on your blog, I'm about halfway through the 3rd video now. So far its mostly about probability

I was reading up on muons a couple of weeks ago while reading about the Strong force, as I understand it the only player involved in the Strong Force between particles is muon exchange. Does the muon exchange involve the muons flowing back and forth within and between/among particles much like elec...
