so wheres Waldo?

Post by Victoria Steele »

I agree. It was nice taking time with family and friends. So wheres Waldo now after this long weekend?
I guess when I get back to whats going on here I will have other questions.

Anybody notice that the Epilogue has generated the interest of over seven thousand views so far. Grady. Have you been noticing that? Or are your feet still stuck in the ice in the Boston Commons? Trickfox went somewhere warm! You should have followed his lead!

Paul. Sort of kidding aside. Do you really want our comments on the older chapters? Or is this just busy work and should we just wait for the book to come out? And of course I am sure that you have heard this already but ...
What the heck are you going to say about the "missing years" that your bio has so magnificently soared over and completely ignored. Thats suspicious you know to all of us that have been watching. You watch this mans steps one after the other through his life, but all of a sudden there is this massive hole where you say NOTHING? Gee. Gotta wonder. Is that going to be another chapter ( a BIG chapter ... nine years.) or is this going to be a small second book? Or is this NEVER going to be mentioned again?

numbers like

Post by ladygrady »

Victoria,

You mean numbers like ...... not the most recent but ......

Out of the last thirty chapters .... the viewing count for the forum was .... lets see .....NINE chapters have counts over 10,000. Maybe ten if chapter 70 crossed the bridge. Was at 9980 the last time I looked.

The chapter generating the highest counts in that group is chapter 59... Isn't that odd? Its the one called " The Whole Deal"

Of course I am only talking about the last thirty chapters .

Its sort of interesting because if you are charting things to see what kind linking interest there might be, maybe to see what things people might be insired to read ... those numbers might seem important. Otherwise its just sort of an odd compulsion on my part.

I find it oddly interesting that wherever Morgan speaks in a chapter ... the numbers jump. (Obviously the kind of man who is noticed when he walks into a room. Same thing here maybe. People just like reading about him for some reason.)

So go rub it in about being warm. Andrew I agree for what its worth about New Mexico. They have some wonderful museums there too and of course alot of heritage. Even UFO heritage! Interesting state. Grady

so why then

Post by Mark Culpepper »

Interesting points grady, as always.

Its a puzzle to me why certain chapters seem to attract reader counts while others do not. Is it the way people are introduced into the storyline so that when they start reading about it they just end up on certain forum views or what? And its not the actual chapters that are being counted is it? Its just the forum thread for that chapter, right? So that just means its an approximation of the popularity of each chapter not an actual reading count? This confuses me.

But why would chapter 59 be the highest one? (18,705)
And after looking at those figures myself, why then is chapter 46 the least noted with a viewing count of only 524? That makes no sense.

Looking at the forum thread for 59 and even looking back over your words grady, I think I have found the reason for the calling out popularity of that chapter. viewtopic.php?p=6607#6607

especially when you said this... remember?

"Obviously it is one of the most closely held secrets of all time. How successful can you possibly be with this sort of disclosure? Wrapped in a gold cover and called " the Argonaut" It would be too fantastic to believe but you know, you can see at least the possibilities and perhaps thats all that is needed?You can judge the possibility of it all actually happening by just looking at the people surrounding Dr. Brown and the movements that they make. He might be invisible but how can you erase his effects ? No, something was DEFINITELY going on. "

Ray and the paradign shift

Post by Trickfox »

Hi Mark....everyone

I was just going over that thread again and realized that this thread says a whole lot about what is happening right here right now.

We have successfully and logically come to terms about a giant paradign shift in human reasonning.

Its Tuesday

Paul starts off the webpage with Ray Kurzweil as of this date......

Yup..... another Raymond.........

Well..... I think he's right. The age of transhumanism is here. it gives a whole new meaning to "MIND OVER MATTER" and makes it look also more like "mind into matter", then "matter" comming back through "energy" as "mind" or even "QUANTA".

All that is left to understand is "vector and Tensor". Funny thing is....

That ........sidereal sources are the most important aspects of this whole technology....

Did'nt The Egyptian first notice all this a whole long time ago?

finally noticed

Post by Mark Culpepper »

Well , I guess that the cat just noticed that the mice were running the cheese in the wrong direction so those of you who were hot on that last page of " The Second Draft" should maybe shift the discussion to this. Maybe we should have realized as Paul said that it was getting WAY off course and adjusted to this thread ( which I agree is much more apropriate.)

But of course, maybe it would have been a little more gentle of you Paul to just remind us of that instead of just slamming the door shut on the conversation. I don't know how some of us who were following the thread closely felt about that but it took me up short. I realize that you are the master of this particular domain (and we did stray) but we didn't need to be smacked in the face either. I guess some of us figured that you didn't pay much attention anyway. MarkC

A star burst for a great author

Post by Trickfox »

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/swift ... t_grb.html

The Arthur C. Clark Gamma ray burst event....... hmmmm.... sounds like a GREAT name to me.....

I say let's go ahead and name it that way.

Just make note of "the origin" of this event.

golden thread

Post by Elizabeth Helen Drake »

This, I think, is directly for you Trickfox but others may enjoy it too!

http://www.goldenmean.info/goldenphysicsvindicated/

Certainly shows that there is a swelling of interest ( and of course, commercialism) along the line of this subject. Not promoting any of the business interests but it is amazing isn't it ... the ground swelling of interest and what may be behind it is what I notice.

I was about to comment just as the door was locked, but it is no problem to just pick it up here, where it belongs. Its good to keep a tidy orderly house.

Since you brought it up as to what I will and do figure out, here is something that you menitoned. A Leyden jar would be very inefficient for the storage of a charge for what you propose. The reason the word "jar" is used is that the original concept was that "charge" was considered "fluid" and what do you hold fluid in? A jar. There is an enormous amount of wasted space in the Leyden Jar that could be utilized. It would be a poor choice as a storge device for any appreciable work for there are better "off the shelf" components available. "Charging " or "charged" is more common. The term "prime" sounds like terminology used with a Leyden Jar (liquid as in priming a pump). Capacitors are not charged or primed with an AC signal although they will retain an amount that is usually .637 of the peak which must be discharged on the negative cycle and charged again to .637 of the next peak and so forth. Charging a capacitor with DC would give you the greatest storage capacity for it will charge to theoretical 100% which will never be possible with a frequency of 120Khz. (.647 is referred to as the Average and in some applications .707 is used for it is 45 degrees of the peak in the trig function for the calculation of AC voltage and current). This statement on it's face is totally erroneous - The output is is on the order of 10 times to 100 times the input voltage at anomalous current levels. If you can achieve gain of any kind from the action of charging a capacitor you have the Holy Grail there and you better run, run as fast as you can to the patent office. Any type of an AC signal applied to a capacitor creates an opposition to that AC signal referred to as "Capacitive Reactance" and is calculated as XC = the reciprocal of 2 pi F C.

In no way is this to be taken wrongly but as a clarification in the event that an anomalous reader were to assume that the charging of a capacitor for storage purposes with an applied AC signal as being efficient for it would be a waste of valuable energy.

Respectfully

I just wanted to let FM know that charging a capacitor with AC should be done at a safe distance. When I was a kid we used to do that just for fun. We would connect a capacitor to 120VAC, and the capacitor would violently explode and fill the air with confetti. Great geek fun at new years eve parties.

he he he, yeah, that was fun.....electrolytics at about 10 mike @ 25 v end up being like a little fire cracker.

The bigger ones used to smoke like hell and vent and spin....

Made up a zip cord with alligator clips...how about you?

Thanks for stirring the memories, forgot that.

A zip cord with alligator clips……thinking about that actually brought me right back in time. I could see it again as clear as when I was doing it.

I made one of those cords, but that had to be one of the most dangerous cords in existence, I cant believe we did that. I used mine for all kinds of dangerous fun. I used to take apart D cell batteries to get the carbon rods from the center of them. I would clean the rods up and then connect two of them to the zip cord alligator arraignment and let them arc together. For a 10 year old this was spectacular fun. By age 11 though, I had obtained a few 16kV neon sign transformers, which I connected in parallel to up the current. From that point on the 120V alligator zip cord sort of fell into obsolescence.

you two would be dangerous.....

Post by Elizabeth Helen Drake »

Gregg and Mikado ......... You two would be dangerous in the same place at the same time. But that might just be fun!

But heres a challenge for your intellects. I didn't catch the name of it ... since this news story came on late last night and I was not well focused. In fact I think I had forgotten to turn the TV off but I know I wasn't dreaming ... there was a story of an outfit that is developing a gas thrifty car ( looked like a low bubble with wheels) which they say can make it across the country on one tank of gas.

Just goes to show you where the thinking is going. And the thought struck me. What if someone had an identical car ... running as a shadow car. Let them go .. get all the publicity that they deserve..... just shadow dance along them with another rig .... then when they run out of gas ...... keep right on going. Now wouldn't that be fun?

And MarkC. Don't be upset with Paul for locking that thread. He needed to. I should have noted what was happening and diverted everybody much sooner ...... Not paying attention on this end well enough! Elizabeth

Would you really want to drive cross country in a bubble car? That would be like going cross country in a GEO Metro. The thought......

If we had hooked up when we were 10 that might be true, but now all that might come of it would be a lasagna with double ricotta and a hint of cinnamon.
