Link: Fred Alan Wolf on “Dreamland”. A marvelous interview with Fred Alan Wolf, the star of “What the Bleep do We Know” about-guess what-time travel! The first question he asks Fred comes from Fred’s book ‘Dr. Quantum’s Little Book of Big Ideas’ where he says that work on memory can lead to remembering not only […]
Link: When Did Science Become the Enemy?. The fact that you’re confronting this column on a web site devoted to space science and astronomy makes you roughly as rare as technetium. Despite the fact that astronomy is one of the two most popular science subjects in American schools (the other is biology), it’s really not
I thought some of you might get a kick out of seeing a cross-section of the books that I’ve had my nose buried in for the past couple of weeks. Rather than list them, I thought I’d just stack some of them on my desk. Click the thumbnail here for an enlarged view. And, believe
U. S. Blows Up Tesla Radio Tower (1917). Most visitors to this website are familiar with Nikola Tesla, and some may be familiar with his experiments at the turn of the century to transmit electrical power by wireless. Toward that end, Tesla built a spectacular tower on the shores of Wardenclyffe, now Shoreham Long
Last week I received an e-mail from William Warwick of Virgnia Beach, VA, inviting me to a “Eyewitness 2007 — You Are Not Alone” — a UFO conference devoted to a discussion of the Phoenix Lights phenomenon first observed in 1997. The invitation has re-awakened an earlier discussion in our forums on the subject of
New Scientist magazine reports that scientists in Brazil have found a way to produce “ball lightning” (or something like it) in a laboratory experiment. “Ball lightning could soon lose its status as a mystery, now that a team in Brazil has cooked up a simple recipe for making similar eerie orbs of light in the lab,” writes
Dr. Robert Bussard has been experimenting with variations on the Farnsworth Fusor for at least two decades. His recent lecture to employees at Google was presented here. Now we learn that Dr. Bussard’s latest effort has been recognized with the International Academy of Science “Outstanding Technology of the Year” award for 2006. The latest incarnation
Oh, Linda’s just gonna love this.. .. One of the very first things Linda Brown sent me during our early snail-mail correspondence was a copy of some letters she had exchanged with the Reverend Barry Downing, the author of “The Bible and Flying Saucers.” I was just searching around the web for something entirely unrelated
Back in June of 2004, the individual I have code-named ‘Morgan’ sent me a message saying that one of the most important expressions I would ever encounter in this exploration of the Parallel Universe is “Quantum Teleportation.” Now, we’re all probably familiar with the concept of “teleportation” — that’s the thing that happens when Kirk
As regular readers of these pages know, the subject of controlled nuclear fusion runs parallel to all this discussion of “antigravity” and free-energy research and non-conventional physics. In fact the pursuit of fusion formed the unifying arc of the my first book, The Boy Who Invented Television And so it is with some sadness that
