Torsion Fields 2012: Richard Hoagland's Experiments

[gsingh2011]

I was watching a show about 2012, and someone named Richard Hoagland was giving theories about torsion fields. He was talking about mass changing due to rotation, and he could measure this by measuring frequency of the tuning fork of an accutron watch. He performed an experiment similar to the one below (taken from an interview with him, BTW):

One of the keys to hyperdimensional physics is rotation. Bruce DePalma, a physicist, experimented about 20 years ago with rotation of massive systems. He did an experiment with a 30- pound concrete disk spinning at 8,000 rpm, shielded by mu-metal to prevent EM interference. Suspended over the disk he had an Accutron watch. The Bulova specs say that the watch gains or loses about 1 second per year. When Bruce brought the watch near the disk, it lost 1 second in 20 minutes. He repeated the experiment with an FM receiver, tuned to a station. When the radio was brought over the spinning concrete disk, the radio de- tuned.

His experiment was similar except it involved the rotation of the earth. Even though they are both getting results, they are still not believed. Why is that? Does anyone have knowledge about this topic? Do you believe this or do you see flaws in the theory?

If you find any papers published in an applicable journal found in our master journal list, feel free to post it.

Since this claim could easily be reproduced and tested, without a published paper, any discussion is a waste of time and energy.

I am always open to new theories and ideas, but it is important to approach them with a critical and analytical mindset. Torsion fields, as described by Richard Hoagland, are a concept that have not been widely accepted or studied in the scientific community. While Hoagland may have performed experiments that showed some interesting results, it is important to consider that these results may have been due to other factors and not necessarily the existence of torsion fields.

Additionally, it is important to note that the experiment described above has not been replicated and verified by other scientists, which is a crucial step in the scientific process. Without replication and verification, it is difficult to determine the validity and reliability of the results.

Furthermore, the concept of torsion fields goes against well-established principles and laws in physics, such as the conservation of energy and the laws of motion. This does not necessarily mean that the concept is impossible, but it does raise questions and requires further study and evidence to be accepted by the scientific community.

In conclusion, while the concept of torsion fields may be intriguing, it is important to approach it with a critical and skeptical mindset and to continue studying and researching to determine its validity. As scientists, it is our responsibility to examine all evidence and theories objectively and to continuously seek out new knowledge and understanding.
