Earthtech ... hmmm ... I just ran across this little tidbit in New Energy Times, which some folks here might not be aware of: "EarthTech's founder is Hal Puthoff, considered by the Department of Energy an authority ..." Puthoff is in back of Earthtech?? I had no idea! For some reason I foolishly assumed that Little was in it on his own nickel. Perhaps I'm a tad biased, but learning this doesn't do my positive view of Earthtech a lot of good. And I suddenly have rather more sympathy for researchers whose work has been trashed by Earthtech. > The related SPAWAR work has now been published in two peer-reviewed > journals, replicated by SRI and confirmed by RAS. Do the SRI replications include replication of the Forsley's observation of backside tracks being correlated with the frontside tracks? That looked like an *extremely* compelling bit of evidence!
