I think the simplest reason why Morgan couldn't go back and save his sister is because he didn't. Had he, then Morgan's sister would have been saved. Causality may be thrown for a loop, but it still has to exist somewhere. Is there a timeline where Brown died? If he died, who made the time machine f...

As long as you're here, Twigsnapper, I have to ask,

Did you ever take a "flight"?

twigsnapper wrote: And an additional thought. My... all those bird names. You would need an Aviary to keep track of them all.

Man, you crack me up. What do you suppose the odds are of lay people digging around the edges finding the path between Dr. Brown and these "birds"? Langley?

Langley, Thanks for the link! It's been some time since I looked at what the cyclotron really was. I had just seen, within the past month or so, a few proposals for testing resonance between electricity and gravity (torsion and curvature). I figured I'd put it on my list of things to try out. As it ...

Mark said elsewhere he wants to hear my thoughts. My question about the capabilities of the machine are answered. Of course, if Dr. Brown was killed by the terrorists in 1936, then who invented the time machine for Morgan to use to save him? I can only conclude that Morgan showed up in 1936 for the ...

Kevin, "If" ? Sure you can have a piece or two, but... Gewis, Your postscript quote is what I was just thinking. Yes, we have used BaTiO3 as one of our bases, and have used strontium ziconate, but not at 100 nm. We have stayed away from the lead titanates/zirconates, and other toxic mater...

Either way the rest of the crew may not have been aware, pop up in the ocean a thousand years ago, and i guess only the lack of signals will be much different? Kevin, 1000 years ago, how far away from here was the earth? How did the FTM port-hole into that little sliver of space we call oceans? -Ge...

I take it your research into high-K dielectrics deals a lot with BaTiO3. Have you used 100 nm barium titanate powders with 100 nm strontium zirconate powder for a curie-point shifter? I also found some methods for creating 30-50 nm BaTiO3 powders. My biggest problem is that my oven will barely hit 1...

I wonder, in going back to talk of the FTM, whether the capabilities of the machine have been unwarranted assumptions on our parts. The text of the chapter says nothing about the machine enabling its users to pop up in different spots like a... whatever pops up in different spots. I'm not saying it'...

It it's true and we find the "Higgs" then perhaps we will have found the start/stop button too. Anyone want to speculate about our chances? .... All I know now..........is that I will MAKE IT. Just watch me! Trickfox If I were a betting man, I'd put money down saying they get no Higgs det...

Flowperson, could you stake a fellow American to a meal?

Oh, and don't rip your fuel line while running from the natives, or leave your FTM in a bear's cave.

Make sure you install start and stop buttons in the first place.

Elizabeth Helen Drake, I feel like I have just been sent to the headmasters office, sowry. Langley, I didn't mean it personally, it is just me ,that cannot understand a word they are going on about. I sense an urgency, it is driving me onwards and upwards, I intend to go upwards, this leads to frus...

To quote another forum member, What is [kevin] waffling on about? So space rotates around all these stationary objects, like moons and planets and the sun, and when we *see* the shadow of the moon cast across its surface (and change as though the moon were rotating around the earth), that's an illus...

What a hand-off! Paul, I am really loving how you keep telling the surface tale and then give us glimpses of the world underneath. They were going to demonstrate a fan, but the fan had little to do with it. It's especially intriguing to me how Dr. Brown actually had to develop a fan, live on the edg...

No, Kevin, you don't have to use the existing rules, but you do have to lay some ground rules. Line upon line, precept upon precept. If you're trying to teach people about the nature of the universe, you have to give us a foundation to build upon. Since the foundation science has built upon is seemi...
