Sorry for the delay. I had to catch up on some Autocad drawings.

I think that the same info could be exchanged as a team effort to find the
truth as opposed to a seemingly unfriendly arguement. If people did their
homework and were persistant, fuzzy info would become clear. I'd bet that
every OU device discussed here has truth behind it and does work as claimed.
The difficulty, I believe, is trying to replicate the experiment with out
going through the 10, 20 ... or 50 years of development the inventor went
through. Getting angry if it doesn't work on the first try may be
unreasonable in such a case.

I immediately went to that URL when you mentioned it. I always thought it
possible to compose music with equations. Anyone got an equation to midi
stream generator? I know immediately when I hear music that I find
appealing. I'd like to be able to translate those favorite musical segments
to an equation. Then I'd know how to compose with equations.

I live at the Piano Factory which is a community for artists of all
disciplines. The evil landlord prepaid the 1% MHFA mortgage and wants to
disperse us because of money. We have a gallery where shows are held. I
think striving to express greater numbers of levels in an art piece is fun
and challenging. An OU device interacting with higher dimensions would
instill a greater sense of awe and mystery than say a picture of a bowl of
fruit. The NEA would not have things like a crucifix submerged in urine
given an objective art criterea for grants.

What do you think of this? Is information or knowledge an energy form? If
so, when one teaches another, there is energy transfer. However, one still
knows this info. Given the conservation of energy law, how can this be? Has
energy been created when learning occurs? Does the teacher have an info
vacuum from this knowledge transfer that compells the universe to fill this
void with new knowledge? Is information the ultimate Free Energy?
