Yes but it's confusing why you're quoting someone who claims M-E theory is incompatible with SR and causality when this is plainly not so. That's a distortion: 1. I don't see anywhere he stated that M-E theory is incompatible with causality. 2. With regard to SR, Dr. Fuerst stated that the way Wood...

Although I have found the theory fairly convincing up until Dr. Fuerst's comments at NSF recently, I don't buy modifying the required conditions every time an experiment seems to disprove the theory. I think there needs to be balance here. When you get a null result, you can do one of three things:...

Sorry but no, that's not the way science works, and you have your facts wrong as well. Eliminating spurious sources is not done by calculating the expected quantity of the source and having a signal much larger. That's just silly nonsense and shows you've never studied scientific controls before. W...

The above is the right attitude and entirely correct. Evidence in science is really just falsifying the alternatives. In the case of a thruster, you eliminate spurious sources that might show up on the balance as thrust. That's the best you can do, and right now with the tiny uN thrusts we're seein...

Hec031,

any progress on a physical theory that explains the effect?

Also, just curious, what's the story on your handle? What does HEC031 mean?

"Is that just techno-babble to make fun of Paul?" No, Goatguy is sincerely certain he's defending an obvious and correct interpretation of what is known, one which preclude the possibility of the Woodward Effect and precludes the relevance of Mach's Conjecture. . .. So, yes, he is attempting to mak...

Sigh. We're coming on 5 years from when JTRS was supposed to have full IOC and they're still prototyping.

Sure the USAF has done most of the US military work in space, but by no means all of it. There was and probably still is, a US Navy component command to whatever USSpacecom exists today (but I stopped keeping track a few years back). Regarding the name of said space force. Back in the day, with the...

I do appreciate the point, but what I'd really like is for everyone in USG to respect the rule of law. There are plenty of people who could classify Poly with the wave of a hand. Failing this, it is hard to take that EMC2 is claiming everything is proprietary. Seems to me the best solution is for E...

Thanks, I have already understood that temperature is not temperature. Thermilizing is Maxwllian. Maxwellian distribution that has been calculated in case of some restrictions (e.g. all collisions are elastic and not sure but think at absence of any field acting on particles) etc. The next step I t...

At Tokamak might have a 'temperature that averages 5 KeV, and 90 % of the fusion may occur at the high energy tail (hot in your viewpoint) that exceeds ~ 20KeV. In a Polywell operating at near monoenergetic conditions, the vast majority of the ions may be at ~ 20 +/- 1 KeV. In this sense the averag...

It's interesting to me, that EMC2's "explanation" of why they don't release data is that their client, the Navy, doesn't want them to, and the Navy's "explanation" of why they don't release data is that it's proprietary to EMC2. There seems to be some collusion here, intended to thwart the FOIA. Ac...

you guys are so easy...playing you like a fiddle.. this adminstration gives a non-committal, cost-free statement about the need to invest in "this kind of technology,"...and then continues to appoint hard enviro-left, anti-growth, neo-malthusians in all the regulatory posts that actually have a say ...
