They may be base to you but they are still with us no matter how hard you wish them to go away. Yes they are still with us, but there are some individuals who have evolved further than to be dominated by them. The females still flock to wealth. That is where you want to start. Change the women. And...

The desire for wealth and status is not base. For a man it gives you a better selection of females. You may not like human nature (there are a lot of self hating humans out there - go figure), but it is what it is. I do get it though. The betas are always at war with the alphas. Another aspect of o...

Well I guess I used the wrong wording when I said get "away with it". My point is that their billing rare is determined by market forces, not by what they need to earn. Who knows what a man needs to earn? You still are arguing from the point of view of a well funded business venture, instead of a c...

The reason they charge $150 is that market forces, let them get away with it. They are not getting away with anything. They are being paid what they are worth. The business profits from their effort. Otherwise the business couldn't afford to pay those high wages. At the aerospace co I worked for I ...

nuclear engineers billed in the neighborhood of $150/Hr Those are exactly the people I want. The bean counters never consider the cost of mistakes avoided. Or the productivity of engineers. Engineering quality is very variable. I expect to get 10X or 20X the quality and productivity by paying 3X as...

How much "real money" are you talking about? It seems to me that the reason that research is so expensive is mostly because of wetware costs (or as you say "engineers get the big bucks"). But, if we get engineers who are motivated enough, to put "service of humanity" above "earning what they are wo...

$30/Hr is hardly self sacrifice. I could live quite comfortably on far less than that.

Take my Open Source Work on Polywell. It may be useful. There may be good ideas there. But it is little more than rough estimates. For real work I'm going to need some real money. How much "real money" are you talking about? It seems to me that the reason that research is so expensive is mostly bec...

What I have presented here is, in my opinion, the most complete and consistent theory of polywell physics there is. Explanations by Bussard and others sometimes contradict themselves, sometimes contradict known physics, and resort to handwaving at an early stage. The published experimental basis on...

There are plenty of regulations designed to keep new competitors off the market. Which makes me wonder what would happen when someone builds their own polywell and takes themselves off the grid. Some guy up in this area was collecting radioactive materials to build his own reactor. His wife murdere...

We've got an impressive lot of equations here, but of course they're of trivial interest unless they describe reality. So what observations are we predicting here for WB-7? This particular calculation lends some credence to my model, but I already said it won't convince anybody who doesn't want to ...

Before debating, whether or not, the crossfire fusor, can exceed the speed of light; shouldn't we establish that it is a viable power source? It makes more sense, to prove it as a means of generating electricity. After that, we can decide, if we can to use it to visit Alpha Centauri.

Aw for chrissake, learn some physics, will ya?

Art,
Do you usually speak to yourself, with such harsh tones?

Personal attacks are not helpful, if you want to debate the science, then do so.

In another thread P.S. Now that it sounds like Rick Nebel is not interested in grappling with the details of a polywell theory, this thread might be pretty lonely. Tom Ligon seems to still have some arrows in his quiver, so maybe I still have a chance of learning something here. I don't think that ...
