Morning Eric, What doesn't make sense is that McKubre said himself that he has known Rohner for, IIRC, 4 or 5 years. You'd think in that time he would have done a little digging about the Papp saga, and would be aware of all that we are... with the internet, it doesn't take long to find opposing viewpoints.
McKubre is used to conferences with nothing but PhDs. For the most part, the 'Extraordinary Technology' type conferences are full of marginally competent people who make a living selling books and DVDs about weird sh*t... there are a few legit presenters, but not many. That's why I stopped going 20 years ago... during the registration period, the organizers would boast about how so-n-so was going to have a 'working' device this time, so you bought your ticket, and when you get there and go to so-n-so's booth, guess what? He was testing it the day before and burned something out, or something broke, so sorry, but no 'working' demo this year. I've been thru that several times... and just a year or two ago the same thing happened with a conference in Utah. A few days before the conference, one of the 'key' presenters was unable to attend! By then, you'd already bought the ticket... some things never change. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Eric Walker [mailto:eric.wal...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2012 10:37 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:Inspiration Le Aug 15, 2012 à 11:15 PM, "MarkI-ZeroPoint" <zeropo...@charter.net> a écrit : > MuKubre's body language was not good; I think it reveals some level of > reservations about being there. > -mark Understood. He may have had reservations about endorsing what he saw, because there might have been some error in the measurements, for example. But knowing what I know now of the history of the Papp engine and of the later developments, I would have been nervous simply being up there at all, regardless of anything I thought I saw in a demo.
