Btw, as you may have noticed I am not american. We didn't notice. You see, we have Americans that talk like idiots too. Now that we understand you're not an American, we will thank you to keep your unsolicited opinions about our politics to yourself. Have a Coke and a Smile and STFU. :) David

And then we have the Congressional Black Caucus that voted almost unanimously to maintain funding for an organization willing to aid and abet child prostitution by imported illegals. Along with tax fraud. Sweet. That is definitely going to give the Democrats a boost in 2010. Interesting way of spin...

Lincoln sent reinforcements to Fort Sumpter. I don't recall if they ever arrived, but that's an act of war, and so the South responded. All you ever hear about is Fort Sumpter being bombarded, adn the War Between the States started. The South had their issues, but war wasn't inevitable, certain peo...

From what *I* have read, virtually every Disaster in American History was the subsequent consequence of a Democrat President. ( The Civil War being the only exception.) Pres. James Buchanan had more to do than any other single person with the fact the Civil War happened. If he had given to South Ca...

If you think this is equal to Batista and Massadegh, then you have a defect in your perception of what constitutes a serious threat.

Yeah, that's what I get from the article too. Seems completely nonsensical to me, but supposedly the guy is an actual physicist/mathematician, and I consider Space Daily to be a legitimate news source, so I assume the math at least works. If the math works theoretically, then the antigravity repuls...

http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/New_Antigravity_Solution_Could_Enable_Space_Travel_Near_Speed_Of_Light.html ...so is this guy recommending accelerating a spaceship by throwing a star at it at three quarters of the speed of light? . Yeah, that's what I get from the article too. Seems completely no...

I see lots of angry republicans blaming everything on democrats here... quite funny... for example, they blame Kennedy on the Bay of Pigs affair, but forget that the Cuban Revolution only happened because of US support and backing to Fulgencio Batista, specially dureing Eisenhower´s term. Also, it ...

with good (and big) electromagnetic shields, I think you can avoid the ship being destructed by space dust. Actually, I believe you will find that shields will fail long before you get a measuarble tau factor. Indeed, in a system that could be practically built, it would fail before you got past .1...

R. Dave, My interests vary with time according to an undetermined function. And I started looking into this before Paul joined the thread. One of the things that changed my attitude was the Feynman quantum electrodynamics videos. Something I had never looked very hard at before. Feynman was cool. I...

Paul, Have you considered a "spring"/laser interferometer set up to measure forces? That should keep your detector system away from the "noise" generators. If you use a dual beam set up with a 1/4 wave delay in 1 beam you get the equivalent of a "massless" optical encoder capable of resolving motio...

Hey Dave, you and me actually agree on something for a change. Miracles do happen, LOL. I would really love them to be right though. That would be a gamechanger. I just hope to see something soon. I am terribly impatient. I actually don't remeber what it is we disagree on. Probably politics or some...

This place has some interesting people reading it! Mr. March, If I wanted to answer the question "Are you measuring what you think you are measuring?", what would be the best thing to read? Have you submitted a publication somewhere? (I'm a physicist btw, so a technical publication would be great.)...

It's not that I don't want this to work, I'd cut off various body parts if it meant we could get a legitimate reactionless drive, it's just I know it's not supposed to work, and it does not bode well for my enthusiasm when you use words so specialized that to me they sound made up. If you follow th...
