ROM-DOS Posted November 18, 2005 CID Share Posted November 18, 2005 NASA's Gravity Probe B spacecraft has gathered all the data physicists need to check a bizarre prediction of Einstein's relativity. November 16, 2005: Is Earth in a vortex of space-time? We'll soon know the answer: A NASA/Stanford physics experiment called Gravity Probe B (GP- recently finished a year of gathering science data in Earth orbit. The results, which will take another year to analyze, should reveal the shape of space-time around Earth--and, possibly, the vortex. <img src="http://imagehouze.com/uploader/files/126/vortex1_med.jpg" alt="vortex1_med.jpg" /> + Play Audio Time and space, according to Einstein's theories of relativity, are woven together, forming a four-dimensional fabric called "space-time." The tremendous mass of Earth dimples this fabric, much like a heavy person sitting in the middle of a trampoline. Gravity, says Einstein, is simply the motion of objects following the curvaceous lines of the dimple. If Earth were stationary, that would be the end of the story. But Earth is not stationary. Our planet spins, and the spin should twist the dimple, slightly, pulling it around into a 4-dimensional swirl. This is what GP-B went to space to check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted November 18, 2005 CID Share Posted November 18, 2005 Interesting.... Tony, the narrator, is I think a little lite in the loafers - if you know what I mean. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that there's anything wrong with that. LOL ~ yeah, but I don't just think 'a little'; do you think he has problems getting his FAQ's straight?

resopalrabotnick Posted November 18, 2005 CID Share Posted November 18, 2005 i have studied the phenomenon and found that by placing a web of magnetic material in orbit i can use this distortion of the space-time continuum to transmit energy into the future. all that needs to be done now is to place a receiver at the exact time and place in the future and voila! free energy.

So I'll do the math to find the spot...in the future....but how much are shares in your company....I want in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted November 18, 2005 CID Share Posted November 18, 2005 the thing is that you could probably put together a pack of lies and half truths good enough to fool an investor. if you can come up with something that sounds patentable, then, if you get lucky and the inspector is having a bad day, you might even be able to patent it. armed with that, it should be no trouble at all to fleece a bunch of investors. so, what's the consensus, shall i go into the free energy business? and it wouldn't even be a perpetuum mobile, i would just sell futures on energy to finance the rig to produce it and be able to fulfill the futures. if i can get the paperwork done and run it out of some country where the sec can't get to me...

resopalrabotnick Posted November 18, 2005 CID Share Posted November 18, 2005 hm. true. some people are too gullible to be allowed to hold on to their money. but then this pesky conscience (and undoubtedly my better half will too) tells me you can't just go ripping people off because they don't know any better. why the hell not i say, but that's two vs. one.

ROM-DOS Posted November 18, 2005 Author CID Share Posted November 18, 2005 "so, what's the consensus, shall i go into the free energy business?" . . .would this be based on the Mobius distortion effect or some new higher dimensional swirly twister?

Forrest White Posted November 6, 2020 CID Share Posted November 6, 2020 The space industry as other industries is affected by pandemic today, but the production of rockets is developing. Scotland's young space company has yet another success with a larger and more advanced european micro launcher prototype which flies nearly 27 km altitude.
