Ken Shoulder's highly speculative new ideas (even more so than normal) will definitely attract the anti-gravity (clock) watchers on vortex
and, excuse the specialized pun, the best thing about Ken's ideas is ... no charge... ;-) The pdf on "Large-Scale Propulsion Using EVOs" can be downloaded from: http://www.svn.net/krscfs/ Side note: Here's a semi-obvious thing which you may never have thought of in this way: "Controllable propulsion is the functional equivalent of antigravity in that it allows for the nullification of gravitational effects near planetary objects and in space. At the level of basic technology discussed here, there is a strong affinity between the engineering aspects of propulsion, antigravity and electrical energy production." Now that does not necessarily mean that everthing which is overunity (energy-wise) will also have antigravity side effects ... but there is an interconnection by way of "time." To blend in a little "Saviour" into the mix... why would we ever assume that the time parameter must remain constant? Of course, many of us knew that this is probably how ET's bicycle was able to achieve antigravity.... he merely altered the time parameter.... "time flies" as they say... seriously, though, almost any human can achieve anti-gravity for a short period. Even without reading Buchanan's "Ubiquity" you are no doubt fairly familiar with the ongoing struggle against one "power law" which we have to contend with on a regular basis - gravity. The only thing two things keeping humans from achieving sustained antigravity are consequently either controllable propulsion or controllable time. Control of either will suffice. An important feature of gravity revealed by all this is the possible variability in time parameter. A heavy object falling freely near the surface of the earth undergoes constant acceleration at almost ten m/sec/sec (32 ft/sec/sec)... or else it just feels time differently. At the end of the first second, it would have fallen ~5 m (16 ft) and would have a speed of close to10 m/sec (32 ft/sec). At the end of the second second (my spell checker can't figure that one out), the object would have fallen ~20 m (64 ft) and after the third 256. So if you work back the other way, you can see that any human can overcome gravity for quite a few milliseconds, and if ... one could only control time a little better... If I were going to borrow something from ET in order to "go places" in this world, if would be his "watch" instead of the bicycle... ...and BTW "watch" Ken Shoulders. He may be plugging into something which will electrify us all. I'm dying to know if his EVO experiment has been performed on a precision scale yet. In fact. I was a little disappointed that these results were not what this new document was about when I first read the title. Anyway, I will predict that we will hear something on that front soon, whether it be more levity or real anti-gravity... Jones
