With regard to Jo blocks, the spikes are what the article
said was the cause of the 'stick'..I don't know, my eyes
aren't good enough to see that small....<g>...I've done
the Jo block stick test and you have to slide them off
sideways to get them to separate, like magnets.
One other observation though not of much value, if you
just press them together, they don't stick, you have to
kind of slap them together to achieve the attraction.
It was an interesting observation but I can't see
anything that would be useful in the knowledge of it.
I know when you are trying to make parts fit, even
fasteners, if you jiggle them a bit, they go on or
fit together much easier.
The idea of a vibrating lubricant has all kinds of
interesting permutations....it might well extend
the life of the lubricant.

An alternate but related thread
Having worked on equipment maintenance for the past
22 years, I like the idea of an anti-time field much
better. When you get a new device and it works
perfectly, you scan it for the full mass signature.
Every couple of days or so, you subject the device to
the original wave signature so that it literally
heals any damage which results from day to day
operation. Kind of a time-reversed repair technique.
Much like Tom Beardens' Fiber Fuse example.
The use of a pyramid structure to restore dull razor
blades to full sharpness certainly offers a basis for
this contention.
Of course, you cannot replace any parts as the integrity
of the original signature would be compromised. Would
it not be interesting to buy a new car, map its signature,
then every night when you leave it in the garage, an
anti-time field would restore any components which suffered
wear or damage during the day??
One of the caveats based on pyramid razor sharpening is
that the blade can't have sizeable chunks cut out of it, as
if the morphic field can only regenerate to a given level.
The Star Trek replicator takes this regenerative effect much
further by using the mapped signature of a perfect sample to
actually manifest a near perfect copy.
Well, at this point, its just fantasy though I've long
thought it would be interesting to videotape microscopically
a razor blade in a pyramid and watch the stimulated regrowth
of the metal crystal to restore the blade sharpness. Such
a video could certainly lead to funding for further research
into the phenomenon. I know it had to do with metal crystals
and their regrowth. Anyway, enough of that for now.
