Re: The Collapse Of Complex Societies

Every institution which is supported by coercion, by law, by politics, becomes a concretion resisting redirection of societal resources towards change necessary to adapt to new, changing circumstances. The "more laws" the more resources are dedicated to then relatively unproductive ends. When the Ro...

Re: SpaceX News

As I understand it, they decided not to fund retropropulsive landing of the capsule so they could throw that money toward BFR (or whatever its called this week ;) ).

Re: Mach Effect progress

Is there a summary anywhere of who has duplicated Woodward's results with respect to finding anomalous thrust explicable by Mach Effect affirming results? I know there has been such, about 6 if I remember, but am trying to put together a list.

Re: Mach Effect progress

For your enjoyment, I'd like to introduce you to Monomorphic, a gentlemen who seems to like recreating Dean Drives while claiming he is saying something about Mach Effect Thrusters.

The address of the whole ENN Group is accessible at http://www.enn.cn/wps/portal/enn.en , but I have not been able to locate the symposium site from there.

Re: 2018 NIAC Symposium

It would be quite humorous if a man-made crystalline structure of paired lithium atoms turned out to be a key material for the Mach Effect device. :roll: What's worse is that over 60 years ago, Vernor von Braun wrote a book about the settlement of Mars. The title of the Chief Executive of the Marti...
