Some of the claims are easy to prove false. -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Pilots are not permitted to ingest garlic before their flights because it slows down their reaction times." I have been a pilot since 1959. All pilots operate under the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR's). There is no reference in any of the regulations to garlic. You can search the Federal Aviation website: http://www1.faa.gov/index.cfm/1029 The single reference to garlic is in a listing of aviation articles: http://www.aee.faa.gov/aee-200/osheccom/lob/9eWebs2.PDF There is an article on heat stress. The only reason it showed up in the search is the url has garlic as the domain name: http://www.garlic.com/~pburnett/heatdres.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------- From the Bob Beck Interview: "He is also the inventor of the strobe flash light" Dr. Beck was born in 1925. He was six years old when Doc Edgerton invented the strobe flash in 1931: http://libraries.mit.edu/archives/mithistory/collections-mc/mc25/mc25-scope.html Prior to this, spark photography was used, but it was too dim: http://net.unl.edu/artsFeat/edgertontrans.html Dr. Edgerton's strobe flash was used for nightime arial reconnissance during World War II: http://www.theindependent.com/stories/060603/new_edgerton06.shtml His work on high-speed strobe photography allowed him to take pictures of atomic explosions with a 10 nanosecond aperture time: http://www.anomalies-unlimited.com/Bomb.html For reference, he donated his lab notes to the MTI Archives: http://libraries.mit.edu/archives/mithistory/collections-mc/mc25/ I knew him quite well. His lab was across the hall from mine at MIT. Every time he fired a gun to take a picture, the noise was deafening. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If it is so easy to prove these claims are false, why should we believe any of the other Beck claims are true? I pay little attention to these posts. They sound like scams intended for those who will believe anything.
