Most everyone on this forum has seen the movie by now... There was no mention in the film of the "Oppenheimer-Phillips effect" nor of Melba Phillips.
We did mention in a Vortex thread here years ago the possibility that one version of LANRĀ (lattice assisted) was in fact a hybrid of the Oppenheimer-Phillips effect combined with the Casimir effect In light of the recent announcement of the Russian nuclear powered cruise missile, a new combined effect - may come up again as a usable power source. One of their scientists may have let it slip out. At any rate, I would like to have seen Melba Phillips mentioned in the movie... Maybe we missed something in 1938 that she saw...
