Speaking of the Aether - I was thinking the other day... when I went to
read the contents of www.enterprisemission.com (which is rather
interesting)... I was thinking about the vortex model of mass, and
something occurred to me. See if this matches thy thoughts, Jerry:
the earth consists of an incredible, though finite, number of
mass-vorticies, all of which are unaligned (ie: their poles are not
matched north-to-south, or vice versa). Rather, the poles of the
constituent atoms of the earth are more-or-less randomly organized.
Thus, the earth's gravitational pull is relatively constant over it's
surface. So, if that's true --- then if one magnetizes an object, the mass
vorticies align themselves -- thus allowing them to exert a drag on other
unlike-charged objects. So --- does this mean that when an object is
magnetized, it's mass-gravitational pull has been increased (by aligning
all the poles of the mass-vorticies so as to increase their pull - as well
as 'directionalizing' it -- turning the magnetized mass into one giant
pole (which would explain why there isn't a strong attraction along the
whole mass -- only where the pull is strongest - at the poles!)
Sorry if that was a bit long... but what do you think? Sound reasonable to
you? If this is true, then it reminds me of something I heard mentioned
once... wasn't there a quote by Keely or Tesla that stated the earth could
be controlled just like a magnetized mass? If what I've said is true,
then, given sufficient energy, could not the mass of the earth be aligned
so as to manipulate it like a conventional magnetized object?

(Oh, and you should really check out www.enterprisemission.com, Jerry...
if not for the content, then at least for the funny 'Maxwell Poetry'...
I got a kick out of that.) :)
