Interesting idea.

And while I don't think there are many things that could be introduced as a
toy (Otis T. Carr's patent aside) ...
Or maybe a perpetual motion toy, albeit if that was cheap enough to be for
kids it would be a toy adults would want even more (executive toys).

I think that images that manifested a tangible energy-like phenomena that
kids could feel could appeal to at least some parents.

Of course the designs will have to be less controversial that the top image
which is a swastika (happily not just a Nazi thing and in no way resembles
the Nazi version).

Of course not all kids can feel the phenomena any more than all adults, but
perhaps the percentage is higher as kids haven't been so heavily
indoctrinated against such ideas yet.

Maybe at any rate a book for kids and one for adults could be a way to go.

Maybe a colouring book.

Most people are instinctively afraid of what they don't understand, so they 
ignore it, and hope it will just go away.
This is especially true if acceptance implies upsetting their entire world view.
Suggestion: Introduce it as a toy. Toys are something harmless given to 
children to help them become accustomed to life
in the real world, so people automatically accept toys as harmless, because 
that's what they have experienced all their
lives.
As long as the toy works, and is novel, everyone will want one, and eventually

investigating.

As I said, I am surprised heat pumps work effectively in Canada. It seems
too cold. I think my heat pump in Atlanta cuts out below 40 deg F, and the
aux gas heater comes on. See:

https://www.estesair.com/blog/at-what-temperature-does-a-heat-pump-quit-working-efficiently

Heat pumps do not operate as efficiently when temperatures drop to between
25 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit for most systems.

A heat pump works best when the temperature is above 40. Once outdoor
temperatures drop to 40 degrees, heat pumps start losing efficiency, and
they consume more energy to do their jobs. When temperatures fall to 25 to
30 degrees, a heat pump loses its spot as the most efficient heating option
for an Atlanta home.

This uses the thermoelectric effect and radiative cooling at night to power

concentrate it from the sky onto the top of the device and produce a

[Vo]:What would it take?

2022-04-12 Thread Jonathan Berry
What would it take for a breakthrough in science?

When I run through the scenarios it is pretty depressing!

There are people who move manifest "Chi" type energy either with their body
or with technology (pyramids, orgone accumulators, orgonite).
This cannot be discounted by science, but it can be ignored.
My own coils and image designs have been felt by people who have had no
knowledge (not placebo) but no one cares.
And I have found which cup of 10 cups has the coil placed under it, but no
one cares.  Cannot be explained away but most on even this list won't even
give it a moment.

So demonstration of a sensation that many (but not everyone) will feel
isn't going to cut it, maybe if it was compellingly strong for 99%, but not
much less than that.

So we also have many people who have demonstrated Free Energy, Antigravity,
"Cold fusion", and in the whole these cannot be fully debunked.
However replication is spott at best (often it seems like winning lottery
odds) and the true mechanisms aren't really understood (these two facts are
related of course).

So bleeding edge indeed, technology mankind can reach to the stars with is
left to languish.

These technologies aren't fitting in with the prefered models of science,
they aren't favored by those with the money, they are at odds with politics
and are at odds almost philosophically with much of the world.

So what will it take?

If a device that produces an effect is expensive or difficult to reproduce,
too few will, even if those who do reproduce it are successful so what?
And one or two poor effort reproductions that fail will throw cold water on
others who otherwise might.

If a device provides an anomaly and needs exotic meters or such, again that
is going to lead to too few who verify it.

Maybe if a device is really cheap and simple to reproduce and provides a
readily observed clearly anomalous effect it could do something...
But to be honest as long as there is neither a mass of interested people
not interested people with money and or the right positions within
physics...

I am not really sure how humanity is going to advance!

This doesn't just relate to my research, this relates to every possible
technology Vortex was created to discuss or further.

I am not trying to push my designs here, but if anyone wants to fight off
incredulity (or is someone who has felt energy from my previous designs)
then:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Aetheric_Engineering/comments/ty1j4f/latest_poll/
Generally it is about 50% feel something, and again no one has been able to
explain away the multiple events that utterly disprove any conventional
explanation.

But be it my research or anything else, there is a massive barrier that
except for making something useful obvious and cheap and easy to make. or
some angel investor or lottery win...
I just don't see anything changing!

I get it when things aren't provable, but when they are how do so many
ignore results?
Then again, I see the same occurring with natural/alternative medicine even
when the success rates are high.
Or indeed reasons to avoid vaccines that were rushed experimental novel and
based on the toxic part of the virus and has details they wanted secret for
75 years...  That still many took
Or reasons to question how a building could fall at free fall
speeds through still standing structure as though it offered the same
structural resistance as air.

And while there is no obvious solution to the alien/ufo subject that makes
coherent sense, when respected scientists consider the Fermi Paradox they
generally utterly deny the absolute masses of evidence we have for aliens
as though it doesn't even deserve a few seconds to discount.

We have a seriously strange world if you choose to look at it objectively.
