I personally favor money grubbing bastardy. Why shouldn't Rick do his best to protect the interests of EMC2 shareholders? Thats okay too. Like all technology developments, we would likely all benefit in the end. However the question was "I wonder that Dr. Nebel has provided as much information as h...

Could you expand on that - its a bit broad to search on. I'm curious and will probably learn something new.

There is a problem solving maxim that goes something like: If you NEED something to be true, then assume it. The corollary of this is that the vetting required of truth depends on what it costs you if its wrong. This associate of Flying_Eagle's may be total fraud, or though inexplicable to science, ...

Sounds a bit like psychohistory in Asimov's Foundation series. A series I thoroughly enjoyed.

Keep in mind, the aim is not to be in a position to win any legal challenge. The aim is to not end up in court at all, which can be very time consuming and distracting.

I've often wondered what value Dr. Nebel gets out of posting here. I've often heard MSIMON talk about trying to get funding to build his own units, seemingly in direct competition with EMC^2. Since EMC^2 doesn't have robust patent protection at this point, I wonder that Dr. Nebel has providee as mu...

Yet, you know the first thing many like to do is attack the messenger, or the message. I'm quite open minded about mysticism, but your comment provoked this opposing thought: "The first thing many [messengers] like to do is accused people of attacking the messenger" For no reason in particular, the...

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. We really don't know the limits of physics. Just because ESP experiments haven't produced much evidence doesn't there isn't something there. I've just had an interesting thought.... Its commonly held in Quantu...

Great images Torulf. If you wanted to extend it, it would be cool to see some electron recirculation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmp1cg3-WDY . I imagine an electron beam coming out through the small opening and then fountaining-out to re-enter through the larger openings. btw, it would seem that...

Alternately, if they have a computer guru on board, and wanted to setup a internet based massively parallel network like SETI and others have done, I'd sign up. For that matter, how do home made super computers ( like parallel Playstation 3's) compare to the best current supercomputers, or the supe...
