Hi Peter et al!

Why do I get the impression you are trolling for
responses....ok, here goes again. The question was
originally about aether??? and has now expanded to
pedantics and a refusal to even try a simple experiment that
would dispute 'what I have been taught'...time to leave
Peter or come up with something relevant to the list...

precisely, EVERYTHING YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT...do the
experiment, see the results, then you will see the truth of
how you can be misled by 'laws' that are far from complete

with the TOMI, you ARE WRONG, but how best to put to
rest?? BUILD the TOMI as a simple, cheap proof that there
ARE unexplained anomalies that don't fit what you have been
taught

if you can't prove it IN HARDWARE, its bogus....period....

So you remain content to just model in the imagination while
our goal here it on USING THE KNOWLEDGE in REAL devices or
technology....again, the 'virtual' disease that infects and
propagates through the internet...everything is virtual, we
don't need REALITY...

but you don't appear interested in knowing enough about it
to USE IT for practical applications....so whats the point?

you have way too much time on your hands....use it to build
the TOMI, not type more virtual fluff, you are completely
ignoring the point of how we could TAP into the FORCES that
CAUSE the orbiting...not virtually as a model, but IN
REALITY for an essentially self-running device fed by the
forces of the universe that surround us...and are free for
the taking for those who can see beyond the far from
complete facts of orthodox science

Well, you certainly proved wrong on the 'lone inventor'
FACT....so this is just a second error...the academic
brainwashing is terminal at this point...<g>...no hope, he
won't build, he won't test, he won't question the 'facts' he
has been taught....another one lost....

By the way, I found one I didn't know, a 1929 patent by a
Lillienfeld who patented the first transistor....working
alone...but it was simply 'rediscovered' by what history
writes as Bell lab scientists....though actually developed
and invented by Henry Moray, working alone, without academia
or corporations...and thus out of the loop that gives him
historical profit or credit...

and THAT is the CRUX, you are yet another virtual guy, who
apparently has no interest in reality.....thus you probably
won't ever lift a finger to build anything, even the very
simple, very cheap TOMI which you say is IMPOSSIBLE based on
'what you have been taught'

What is the POINT??? If you cannot use your knowledge and
your discoveries to benefit everyday life as HARDWARE, then
its all virtual...its one big game...

so this list really isn't somewhere you want to be....try
some of the newsgroups as there are many who seek out and
promote the virtual, never to be realized, never to be used
approach

and if they DID KNOW it couldn't be done, like you have
said, WHY TRY and so miss yet another discovery, give it up,
don't think, don't imagine, don't correlate, its all been
done, its all been invented, the 'laws' clearly show it
CAN'T WORK....

Really, the net is replete with them and some consider
KeelyNet and the people who frequent it in that category,
apparently you included (that is, you think we are crazy,
gullible or half-baked)...

You choose to study what fits your worldview....if it was up
to the skeptics and academics, there WOULD BE NO FREE
EXPRESSION of anything that remotely didn't fit with
orthodox thinking.....wrong country, wrong millenia...

ok, then you certainly won't be interested in this list
since you choose not to look into anything that would
deviate you from your path...

you shoot your own self in the foot since all you DO is
theorize, you don't measure, you don't build, you don't want
anything that would divert your mastery of 'known laws'

and who said it can't be tested, haven't you read any of the
URLs relating to machines and experiments and even
anomalies??

trolling again without doing any research....you are
becoming tedious Peter, I thought you had a good faith
question and it was answered as well as could be with the
current understanding....you don't search, you don't read
and I can't do it for you...

there are MANY times people have been corrected on this
discussion list and even in URLs on this website...I have
often been corrected and acknowledged it publicly...please
refrain from such broadband statements.....it certainly
reflects badly on your thoroughness...

there he goes again...all the anomalies about frame
dragging, matter currents, gravity, time distortions....mean
nothing...you have made up your mind and simply will never
see anything beyond rote accepted facts and now you reveal
no interest whatsoever in anything that you've not looked
into sufficiently to make a rational determination...slim
chance?? Cancer has CERTAINLY been cured...slim chance???
give me a break...

it means nothing UNTIL YOU BUILD IT....I have built the TOMI
and it works, if you won't take my word for it, just DO IT
and you will see why the writer of this URL thinks it might
be possible, and I have to agree, it COULD be possible...

it becomes obvious you aren't here to help or learn
anything, and I hate to have my list garbaged up with
useless arguments from those who come asking a question and
remain to create mischief....

you have your own set of beliefs and views...that is well
and good, but I can't have my list swamped with ceaseless
arguments not based on any attempts to introduce useful
information or ideas....

the guidelines say it all and if you can't offer something
of use, either an idea, an experiment or something that
others will find useful here, then I don't think this kind
of material needs to be thrown into 360 mailboxes....

That is NOT why people signed up and you seem to not get
that....your next response will determine my course of
action....good luck...
