True. But then again, sometimes very stupid ideas are correct. Realize, hundreds of people thought Galileo was a total idiot; just because an idea seems totally idiotic.. you never know unless you give it a whirl :)
I have no problems with "blue sky" research, the idea of following up even the wildest of theoretical ideas to see if they have any viability. Even if totally wrong, the work that would be done would provide research; reminds me of something a physicist once told me: even if you fall on your face, you're six feet closer to where you want to go. :) -----Original message----- From: "Gary VanderMolen" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 06 Jan 2006 12:48:13 -0600 To: "The Hardware List" [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] is this OT enough for Friday? > Sounds about as believable as the Cold Fusion claims in 1989. > > Gary VanderMolen > > > ----- Original Message ----- > Welcome to Mars express: only a three hour trip IAN JOHNSTON SCIENCE > [snip] > >
