Let's just do the usual:  move all the off-topic discussions to vortexB-L.

It's time for a temporary ban on all off-topic discussions, most
specifically a ban on anything involving politics or religion.  Those who
wish to discuss such things can do so:  just use vortexB-L instead.  I've
susbscribed the vortex community to vortexB.

If you DON'T want to receive any off-topic messages from vortexB, then
send a blank message to vortexb-l-requ...@eskimo.com, and put the word

[Vo]:Mylow's motor

2009-05-21 Thread OrionWorks
From Kyle:

Formally from: Manhunt in progress in Madison

 ...did anyone catch the latest in the MYLOW thing?
 Fishing wire and a hidden motor does some great stuff,
 eh? If anyone don't know what I'm saying, go to the
 PESWiki page on Mylow, and look under May 19 --
 BUSTED. Sad, but I expected this.

Yes, I caught the video. Both informative and amusing! You know how to
string along a good story!

It's a plausible explanation for the continuing Mylow saga.

Personally, I'm not yet entirely convinced of Mylow's alleged
duplicity in perpetuating a hoax, but then, his apparent lack of
explaining himself, including the recent removal of all videos, is
certainly not helping his self image.

Oh well... on to the next topic. ;-)

Yup. Plus I need to upload 2 papers. However, the Internet connection at my
office has not been working since Saturday, and every day ATT says it will
take another 2 days to fix it. It would be very inconvenient to update the
web page from home but if I don't get service back by next week I will do

It is surprising how unreliable telcom is these days. It used to be more

on this main forum. Your analysis was fascinating and I'm happy you posted

Hopefully your suggestions will 'take', and eventually result in 
improvements or amplification of  the ESP biofeedback games that teach or 
train in the development of ESP itself. I believe it is understatement to 
say that any improvement in the accuracy of our own inherent intuitions (our

[Vo]:Inversity

2009-05-21 Thread Jones Beene

Only a fraction (appropriately) of vorticians will find this of interest... but 
hey, here's to fractional insight!

As a reference, here is a provocative piece from holoscience:

http://www.holoscience.com/news.php?article=6bcdajsb

You can make up your own mind about its hollowness. For now, I am merely 
trying to pin down the originator of the concept of the fractional ground 
state. Some of the problem relates to semantics.

For quite some time inverse ground states have been suggested. But with 
anything quantum, we are never sure precisely what this means - that is, if it 
does not intrinsically deny quantumness by its nature. 

The inverse of anything is generally the opposite, or the flip-side. It 
can be factional or not. In math - inverse is used in several distinct ways. 
There is an additive inverse of a value x, which is –x; the multiplicative 
inverse of x is 1/x (x^-1) and there is an inverse function which reverses 
the action of a given function: f–1(f(x)) = x. 

Then there is the gray area of fractions which are 1 but never integers. The 
fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) is a physical phenomenon in which charge 
is found which is not a complete integer of the elementary charge. Catch-22: it 
is often assumed by the Grand Poobahs of fizzix to be greater than one, and 
never less than one. Go figure.

Of course, electron charge and electron orbital are different entities, and 
a fractional orbital is not necessarily fractionally charged (at least this is 
not the claim of the anti-poobah: R. Mills). 

Not too long ago, the same experts who today want you to accept that a 
fractional, or inverse, of the Bohr orbital is not possible as a stable entity, 
wanted you to believe that all charge came in whole integers. They had to eat 
crow on that one, to some extent, but they could possibly be closer to correct 
if fractional electron charge is always 1, or so they think. (there is a 
strained rationale in there somewhere) 

“Why is it that experts can sometimes be so
entirely wrong, and yet so emphatic in their convictions? My own belief
is that some of the reason lies in the success of principles of
impotence, particularly in modern physics. Somehow it seems part of
the scientific approach to postulate impotence.” 

—R V Jones, The Scientific Intelligencer 

Did Bohr and those who followed him simply adopt the “principle of
impotence” in defining the “ground state” of the hydrogen atom? 

If so, it is
no basis for emphatic denial of Randell Mills’ work. 

This is the point of the aforementioned holoscience piece.

Nowadays the mainstream gives lip-service to FQHE, having awarded a Nobel for 
the discovery a few years back... but only after the evidence was overwhelming 
- and was essentially thrust into their collective faces. Fractional charge 
has been a dividing line in physics between the mainstream and the fringe since 
Millikan's shenanigans. Millikan was the former incarnation of Bob Park, yet 
with a functioning brain. 

Now the same revolution (new paradigm) in quantum fractional quantum ground 
states - is poised to happen with fractional or shrunken hydrogen. In fact, 
it could even be the inverse of hydrogen in an extra-dimensional context. But 
how long before the proof be as obvious and forthcoming as with FQHE? Is there 
a possible relationship between fractional charge and fractional orbital, and 
if so - could even RM the boy-genius have missed some of it? 

Fractionally yours,

Jones

[Vo]:letter to Shirley Jackson

2009-05-21 Thread thomas malloy

Vortexians;

What you you think of this letter?

Shirley Jackson, Ph D
President Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Dear Dr. Jackson;

I saw a broadcast of your address at the Bakken Museum on Twincities 
Public Television. You seem interested in innovation, so there are some 
matters that I'd like to bring to your attention.


There is a basis in theoretical physics to believe that the zero point 
energy could be cohered to provide a pollution free source of energy. 
The quantum theorist Hal Puthoff of earthtech.org has coauthored a 
series of articles which were published in Physical Review. They 
speculate about the interaction of the ZPE and matter. It appears that 
the effect can be optimized by use of torsion field physics of Nicloi 
Kozyrev.


Despite well documented replication of anomalous energy, in these 
experiments, the American Physical Society treats this technology like 
it doesn't exist. We have to self fund our experimental activities. 
Worse, there is also a well documented pattern of suppression of this 
technology. I will probably have to leave America in order to bring this 
technology to the market.


I find this behavior inexplicable given the opposition which has been 
raised to our continued poisoning of the atmosphere with carbon dioxide. 
It's clear to me that we need a Manhattan Project sized effort in order 
to stop this poisoning of our environment. I have attempted to get a 
commitment from President Obama putting his administration on record as 
opposed to the continued suppression, in vain. It would seem to me that 
this is the least that they could do.


Given your involvement with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, I'd also 
like to mention the suppression of the use of induced nuclear reactions. 
The website, lenr-carn.org has over 3000 papers, some in the form of 
synopsis, others in the form of a .pdf document. I realize that the 
experimental results are difficult to reproduce, and that so far, no 
usable energy has been produced. However in the 60 minutes segment on 
cold fusion the APS's representative took the standard party line, 
about not seeming to care about the experimental results, his mind 
having previously been made up.


It's clear to me that if, following the experiment; you extract a metal 
which wasn't there before, and that metal has an isotopic spectrum 
containing a large amount of 2%'ers, isotopes which occur in nature in 
concentrations of less than 3%, that is anomalous. This anomaly doesn't 
seem to be clear to either Dr. Robert Park, or Dr. Zimmerman. While Dr. 
Park was initially reported to be contrite, following the 60 Minutes 
broadcast. Later he was later back spouting the party line, of voodoo 
science. Why am I not surprised? this is the APS's business as usual.


I noted what appeared to be your support for that boondoggle at Yucca 
Mountain. I can just imagine the streaks of protest that would result if 
you attempted to bury that waste in the layer of basalt in northern 
Minnesota. I don't blame the people of Nevada one little big for 
opposing it. Particularly since the technology to render it 
nonradioactive was demonstrated over ten years ago.


Dr. Park has yet to repent of his attacks on Dr. Randall Mills of Black 
Light Power, which in my opinion were as the basis of the recension of 
BLP's patent. This despite BLP's having sold licenses for it's technology.
