I have now read George Hathaway's Hutchison File.pdf and there can be no question in my mind that the effects are genuine enough. The tragedy is the Hutchison is so disorganized and seemingly incapable of carrying out the scientific investigation needed to coerce skeptics to recognise the reality of the Hutchison effect. But then I suppose if he had adopted the conventional scientific approach he would never have stumbled on the effect in the first place. In my own case, I remember how difficult it was to devise experiments which would demonstrate the reality of Beta-atmospheric pressure. Even after writing the Southampton Material Conference and Speculation in Science and Technology papers, I only believed in B-a pressure intellectually. It took many years for me to "brainwash" myself into believing in it emotionally. Only then was I was able to device the crucial experiments described in the book chapter. I suppose the situation is similar to trying to convince the man on the Clapham omnibus that air is pressing on every square inch of his body with a force equal to the weight of a gallon and a half of water. We assume that when Otto demonstrated the existence of air pressure with his semi-spheres pulled apart by horses that everyone was an immediate believer in Alpha-atmospheric pressure. But I bet the number of people he convinced at the time was minuscule. As for levitation etc., consider this. If one could manipulate air pressure around object so as to impale straws in doors, just think what one can achieve by manipulating Beta-atmosphere pressure. If UFO's exist - and personally, I don't believe that they do - then it seems pretty obvious to me that they must have discovered how to "fly" through the Beta-atmosphere in an analogous fashion to the way we fly through the Alpha-atmosphere. They must have also recognised (as Ing.Saviour and I do - see the posts on his Yahoo site) that Newton was mistaken in thinking that inertial mass was a measure of matter and not merely a property of matter analogous to temperature though on a very much finer scale. This means that UFO passengers can be shielded from Beta-atmospheric inertial effects in an analogous way to that in which airline passengers are insulated from Alpha-atmospheric effects. If they weren't the enormous accelerations involved would spread them like strawberry jam on the internal walls of the UFO. 8-) Cheers Grimer
