Hi All,
While you have not seen me around on the forums, I have been watching the going's on since last year and I check frequently and pretty much keep up on what is going on the the world of TT Brown. In following all the comments on this thread, I got to thinking about the possibilities of advanced sub tech in the 50’s and just don’t have the opinion about this issue that some of you appear to have.
Generally I think a lot of the principals and possible inventions that Dr. Brown may have created have a lot of merit, so don’t take this as a negative; Just consider it more food for thought.
In thinking about this Truman/Secret meeting stuff that has been floating around I just can’t see the US having that type of technology and not using it. To me it just doesn't seem as likely as other items such as time travel or gravity drives. I feel this way because I can’t see the latter having the same huge military impact that a high speed, silent submarine drive, so the reasons to keep it quite just don't make sense to me.
Think national defense for a moment. If we had tech to allow us to have really advanced sub technology I would have thought that the cold war should have/would have gone differently. With that tech, we could have made lots of there sub fleet that constituted a large part of the nuke threat "disappear" without anyone being the wiser.
In comparison, a grav drive would have made us a lot stronger from an air power prospective, but it's harder to hide and I don't think would have had nearly the impact on the balance of power during the cold war.
So, it's just my opinion, but I think that the idea that we have really high tech sub tech in the early 40's and 50's a lot less possible that it's counterpart the really high speed aircraft.
Anyway, that is my opinion and Im sticking to it….. lol
