None of this matters. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It comes from nuclear, chemical or mechanical sources only, and in every case, it annihilates mass at the same fixed rate (e=mc^2). If you disagree, then you do not believe in the conservation of energy or the laws of thermodynamics. I still do, and I will continue to believe them until you actually demonstrate a machine that creates energy out of nowhere. I do not think it can be done. This is a fundamental law of physics, like Newton's laws, and it does not make the slightest difference how much esoteric physics you pile on it, you will never extract a single joule of energy from a permanent magnet or superconductor. You will only convince me and most other people by experiment, not by theory. The same goes for cold fusion, by the way. Ten million theories would not convince me it is true. Only experiments. - Jed
