    El Bosque UFO Incident: Real or Hoax?

    you may find this not only pertinent to your interests but enlightening as to the amount of charge good old fashioned falling water can generate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-dropping_condenser Walter Lewin demonstrates one in his 8.02 physics class at MIT(complete with explanation)...

    El Bosque UFO Incident: Real or Hoax?

    thank you. objection withdrawn with that said, they are nothing more than a LASE. please read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulated_emission

    When was Podkletnov effect definitely discarded as not existent?

    @ jumpjack alright 1) cracks refer to crackpots : "one given to eccentric or lunatic notions" http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/crackpot 2) in h what is the quadrupole moment approximation ? if you can't answer #2 you don't know anything relevant to even begin to be able to...

    When was Podkletnov effect definitely discarded as not existent?

    you know this is a little dishonest, he is required to post links from http://scientific.thomsonreuters.com approved journals on the subject and skeptics can get away with publishing any old trash? even better the intellectual dishonesty of naming the paper 'Journal of Vectorial Relativity' ...

    Record Sounds Beyond Human Hearing: Can Recording Devices Alter Frequencies?

    to the op, this is information on ultra high frequency sounds and patents around them. here is a patent for a silent sound spread spectrum...

    Mysterious Lights in the Sky - West Coast of Canada

    did it look like this? more than likely they are flares off of satellites. When near a point in their pass where flaring would occur they CAN give a set of very short (less than 0.25 second) flashes to negative magnitudes. This is caused by tumbling of the satellite. here is a little...

    ah here we go Sal Kahn has a full derivation at: http://www.khanacademy.org/v/proof--advanced---field-from-infinite-plate--part-1?p=Physics enjoy.

    UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record

    http://rsi.aip.org/resource/1/rsinak/v77/i5/p053901_s1 This is crackpottery on your part and I'm assuming it's non intentional. I really wouldn't care to walk you through a full derivation of the formulas, but that is not the correct Newton force for the real earth, only if you assume the...

    UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record

    imagine that you have a test point charge q and it is hovering above an electric field of an infinitely large plate, you can through linear algebra define a "test spot" on the plate and triangulate the force in the vector of \hat{j} with the height of the charge, the radius from a point...

    UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record

    Yes electrogravitic claims specifically involve effects produced by the Meissner and tolman effect of a rotating superconductor. All electrogravitics claims should be measured against this yard stick to separate them from electrostatic and magnetic levitation, both of which do not claim to...

    El Bosque UFO Incident: Real or Hoax?

    that is freaking sweet! I live in fort worth, I'll have to go look and see what the damage was! I put up some photos if i find anything interesting. It's a population inversion I'm pretty sure. TEA lasers work on the same concept no vacuum required.

    Could Tesla's Resonation Machine Really Shake Anything Apart?

    to the OP the Tesla lecture on mechanical and electrical oscillators was given Friday, august 25, 1893 to the congress of electrical engineers in a hall adjoining the the agricultural building at the world's fair in Chicago. the vibrations are isochronous (to perfection) and produce...

    UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record

    I would like to add a comment mostly to the mod about a post of mine that was deleted for speculation. electrostatic levitation is no longer speculation. http://rsi.aip.org/resource/1/rsinak/v77/i5/p053901_s1 and was used most publicly on gravity probe-B and Robert Millikan's oil drop...

    Who is Jacob Barnett and What Makes Him So Special?

    thank you and I am sure that i made some errors as well and for those i apologize, I might not even see them as I am very bad at interpersonal communication and prone to behaviors which fall outside of the social norm. particularly analogies, i could not however think of an analytical way in...

    Who is Jacob Barnett and What Makes Him So Special?

    Look I don't at this point think that you are intentionally trying to be offensive. I think you really just don't get it. it was offensive to me and I don't think i can explain it any further or in any manner in which you will understand what it's like to be me.
