Have you ever been in a dark room or outside in the dark, next to a door that was ajar, just a crack? If you peered into a lighted room through that small crack, you could see much of what was inside the room.
When I started this thread, I knew that most of the information that I sought would be contained within the secrets acts of various countries, especially the U.S.. I know this because I had a secret clearance forty years ago. So, what do you do when you need information that will cut two to five years off your personal project? I’ll tell you what I did.
First, I asked for the information straightforward. On this site that usually provokes very little response. I usually get references to other sites (most of which I have already been to several times) like ‘Wikipedia’ by some clueless person who completely underestimates the question. But, believe it or not, I dutifully go the recommended site to confirm what I think I already know. These sites are usually either disappointing or frustrating because they generate more questions than answers. So, then I go to round two of the straightforward questions. I inject much more detail into what I thought was pretty straightforward and simple to start with. This usually provokes much better responses that are still completely inadequate. But, by now I know I’m not likely going to get the information I need so I proceed to the next step.
Second, I try to appear incredibly stupid. I ask questions in a way that convinces some that I’m the dumbest cluck on the web. Remember, my goal is the information. My own pride and ego has to take a back seat to my goal. This usually provokes a further response that provides a little more information, along with a lot of patronizing or belittling. But, as was the case in this thread, still insufficient.
Thirdly, I try to say something that is completely wrong. This usually provokes more responses with more information with more belittling and some patronizing. By this time I usually get lot’s of good information but, as in this case, has very little to do with the subject and did not answer my original question.
Laced in with these various methods, I try to inject a little hostility. ‘Stirring the vat’ is always a good way to provoke more responses. Unfortunately, this forum is so conformal that this usually provokes threats from the hosts with expulsion or termination. Disappointing. Argument is the only way to solve some problems.
The purpose of all this was to try to get the door opened just a crack. I don’t need all of the information. Just crack the door and I can do the rest.
My hat’s off to Dr. Greenman… He did a great job of keeping the door shut. He could have saved me a lot of time if he could just have said at the beginning that the information was classified. My beef about secrets is not with Dr. Greenman but with stupid policy makers who don’t have enough sense to know that anybody who is interested in secrets will be able to figure where they are by any number of techniques. Dodging questions does not serve any useful purpose and forbidding people with secret clearances to mention that information others seek is classified is just as useless.
As far as nuclear core bonding is concerned, and since I didn’t get my questions answered, I’ll just say this: Like charges repel and unlike charges attract. Notice that the rule does not say that opposite charges attract, but unlike charges. Go back and study gold leaf experiments. That’s half of it. Can you figure out the other half? Read my journal.
For those interested in interstellar/intergalactic travel, I’ll give you a few hints. I don ‘t have the solution but I have made a few observations. First, all propagation takes place through a medium. The medium is what determines the velocity of propagation. Second, wave theory will provide the solution to interstellar/intergalactic travel. Read my journal. It’s only a few paragraphs.
As a little aside to Astronuc… Has anyone ever observed that the north poles of the planets line up with the south pole of the sun? Wouldn’t this indicate that the sun is the primary magnetic influence in the solar system? And the fact that Uranus’ north pole is displaced sixty degrees, even though it’s axis of rotation is perpendicular to the rest of the planets? Just something I thought about fifteen years ago (although I didn’t know about Uranus’ magnetic displacement at that time, I just suspected it). I guess by now that this is common knowledge amongst astrophysicists but I 've never seen it in print.
