You asked a very simple question that can become very complex in answer. First of all, are we talking in a 2 dimensional reality or a 3 dimensional reality. At the moment, I'm talking purely about a two-dimensional rotation on a plane, compared to a two-dimensional translation on a plane. I agree t...

The easiest and simplest way is this. In the linear movement, the direction is constant. In a rotational, the direction is constantly changing. A ball on a string that is rotated is in a constant change of direction acted upon by the force of the string pulling it in. The rock is moving in one dire...

Your thesis here started out with a misunderstanding of inertia. Inertia is not considered a force, it is simply that anything at rest wants to stay at rest or anything in motion wants to stay in motion until acted upon by some outside force. Correct. Inertia is quite real. (Though one may ask, *wh...

Gravity and Spin
I am a bear of very small brain, and it takes me a long time to work some things out, so please forgive me if I ramble. The idea that 'gravity is rotation' - or at least 'gravity is curvature', which seems the same thing to me - seems to come up a lot, both in conventional Einsteinian Relativity and...

'Nate' is just fine, yes. I truly don't know if any of this historical background is important, but I find it fascinating putting together, as Paul has, your very personal story with the 'big events' in geopolitics and science at the time. In 1958, I think my Mum was doing art school in Christchurch...

Also interesting in 1958: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Arrow The Canadian CF-105 Avro Arrow interceptor begins flight tests... and is abruptly cancelled the next year, under still-controversial circumstances. Edit: Within two months, all Arrow blueprints and materials are destroyed (ostensibly ...

Re: a matter of timing
Not even counting the impact of the Internet , just ask yourself Nate. Would you and I have even been able to have this conversation fifty years ago? Even twenty years ago... I think it was around 1988, my last high school year, when I was reading The Antigravity Handbook and puzzling over all thes...

Re: transitions
transitions of conciousness. Looking back in our history the things that most changed our conciousness of the world around us was some development that enabled us to cover more ground, faster ( or more particularly land, water, or later,air and then space) Its the only thing we know so far that cha...

Re: What does God need with a saucer?
However, I don't believe that "God" has been to the forums so I am not sure where you are headed. What I have seen is humans wishing to achieve the next step up the ladder to the higher dimensions. My point is that I don't believe that 'achieving the next step up the ladder to higher dime...

What does God need with a saucer?
Hearing all these ideas about saucers, time machines, 'accessing higher dimensions' and other wondrous things, I keep getting Jim Kirk's line from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier in my head: "What does God need with a starship?" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098382/quotes Don't get me wrong...

PESwiki
Also, if people are looking for a Wiki resource about these kind of topics, PESwiki ( http://www.peswiki.com ) might be a good place to browse and merge information into. For a start: http://peswiki.com/index.php/PowerPedia:Thomas_Townsend_Brown needs a bit of love. Edit: Okay, it seems there's two ...

Harold Aspden on concentric capacitors
Something I just came across, and I forget where I linked to it from (was it here? if so, then forgive me for not acknowledging, or for being repetitive, as it's probably been raised here anyway): http://www.aspden.org.uk/2.htm Again with the aether spin and capacitors. And a date of July 2007. Has ...

Maybe reading too many of AM's posts has flipped my own waffle-pan, but: The weird feeling I get from reading a lot of this material is a sense that the people concealing/revealing this knowledge (if they do in fact have any actual knowledge) perhaps are doing so in such a roundabout, cryptic way be...

Re: California Flying Disks
http://www.projectcamelot.org/ralph_ring.html Thanks for this link! I know I've come across Carr before but this was more information than I've seen so far. And that very strange, cryptic book of his. I can't make head nor tail of it, but it seems to have strong resonances with Stan Deyo and Walter...

And if the Earth is nothing, but a big, spherical capacitor then we can see that the electrical capacity it hold induces the gravity. But is it? We seem to have plenty of big rocks in our solar system with no ionosphere and they have gravity just fine. What is the electrical charge of an asteroid, ...
