Well, that Vortex Theory link was quite interesting. I wonder if the guy is really on to something, regardless of whether he thinks the theory came from Jesus or not. Anyone know much about this theory? Supposedly, the paper was reviewed by five Russian scientists before being presented at the 53 International Conference on Nuclear Spectroscopy, and Nuclear Structure “Nucleus-2003″ at Moscow State University in Russia. It says that time is itself a phenomena created by motion. The theory supposedly “gives an exact mathematical explanation of the length shrinkage and time dilation effects of the famous Michelson Morley Experiment” and explains all of the phenomena that the Theory of Relativity explains as well as “a host of other scientific conundrums that the Theory of Relativity could never explain.”

If anyone purchases the actual paper itself, let us know what you think.

That’ll teach me not to visit the site for a few days :-) Looking at 11pm wasn’t the best of ideas either, am going to have to set some time aside tomorrow to go through them all! I’d never find half this stuff on my own…rickyjames: you are an inspiration to dedicated people everywhere.

And butter-side-down, to boot.

I had seen the “warfare at the speed of light” link before. Scary, but pretty cool at the same time. Does your group get to play with some of these toys Ricky?

I get a lot of newsletters, but the ones that are consistently worth reading are the ones from The Harrow Report and ResearchBuzz and PhysicsWeb and NewsTrolls and Lockergnome.  Go to these websites and you can sign up for them, too.  FYI, the webpages I scan for various SciScoop articles are all listed in the lefthand column of SciScoop.  Every day I check the Moreover pages on BioSci, BioTech, GenSci, HumSci, PhysSci and Space along with the two Ananova pages.  I check all of the other Moreover pages about once a week, and click on all the other listed Sciscoop sources about once a month just for the heck of it.

My workgroup only does computer sim work on U.S. Army rocket interceptors, mostly associated with tests at Kwaj.

I don’t know how this happened… either your post showed while you in the midst of originally editing it, rickyjames, or you went back and re-edited it after originally posting it. I saw a version with the link to http://www.fas.org/spp/starwars/program/nmd/ in it, but now it’s gone!

Yeah, I deleted my original post and put the one up now, which has a Tybrin link to my actual workgroup instead of just the Tybrin homepage as I originally listed.  With your catch, all of the URLs are intact!!!

Now gypsysoul has to add a new verse, to wit:
“Your Words Forever stand herein,
Unless You are the Site Admin.”

Another really great one is at Tudogs.  In addition to their newsletter, their website is a joy to browse for downloadable software and older website delights they have found and cataloged during their scans and reviews.

Now we know the Secret for Situations Sticky

The essential Moving Finger belongs to Sir Ricky.

Vortex Theory link was quite interesting.

Yes, crackpots could be quite entertaining.

I wonder if the guy is really on to something

The possibility that he is onto something is quite small. Beside the obvious that extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, I want to mention just two things:

None of those 5 reviewers is a physisist, save theoretical or nuclear physisist. They all hold degrees in mechanical and electrical engineering, just one is a full professor.

The conference presentation counts as a publication, but it’s not peer-reviewed beforehand.

The mere fact that the front page declares everything we know as obsolete is already a red sign for me.

The worst parts are those “PURCHASE EBOOK HERE” links…

The Russion version is free by the way. Go figure.

I am very openminded, but this stinks…
