Very interesting reference and link. And on that link, tragically, are some telling comments on Randell Mills. The following excerpt relating to his "extra curricular" activities was something which I had found off-putting about Mills' work. ========================================================= http://www.padrak.com/ine/BASS_1.html#3 In June, 1997, more than 3 years ago, you were saying that you expected to have a stand-alone power generator "within 6 months." Now THREE YEARS have passed and I am told that you are waiting ANOTHER 6 months for delivery of some unavailable gyrotron component. Is it not fair now for the public to say about you what you said about CETI? Why have you manifestly spent "thousands of hours" (judging by the amount of material in your book) on esoteric peripheral matters like DNA, Neural Networks, artificial intelligence, nature of consciousness, cosmology, gravitation, etc. instead of keeping to the implicit promise to your 160 stockholders of 1997 that you are developing a stand-alone power generator? A single stand-alone demonstration, however, crude and unsuitable for being a prototype for serial production, would suffice. ======================================================= Even though cobblers are nearly obsolete perhaps it is not inappropriate to suggest that a cobbler should stick to his last.
