I'm sixty years ahead of my time. It is not a wild boast, it is a sorrowful realization.
Ten years of trying, I have not been able to get anyone interested in attempting to try what is essentially as fairly simple experiment.


I've spent close on forty years of my life voraciously reading anything I can get my hands on that pertains to plasma behaviour, and I am convinced that organized plasma (as in plasma physics,) is the bridge between the electromagnetic and the gravitational force.
It is the observational evidence enforces that belief, and my ensuing proposed experiment (paper linked below) will prove that gravity can be induced without a corresponding quantity of mass.

It is the electric phenomenon that has not been sufficiently explored. A photon will gravitationally deviate near a plasma configuration. The experiment will be the proof:

Here is the paper in Web format, PDF and video, "SubSpace Experiment - Gravitational Induction"


And here is just one of the implications - The Sun's structure - which is like nothing that has ever been imagined or thought of before:

The Evolution of the Eye

Since we spend most of our lives immersed and surrounded by physical objects, most of what we see consists of objects illuminated by our Sun or some other radiative source, like a lightbulb or a fire.
Surprisingly, the eye has evolved in order to see radiative light, as opposed to reflective light, as if we evolved to look at a direct source of light, rather than the secondary information.
The cones in the back of our eyes are red, green, blue sensitive, which are receptors for direct emission information.
What is the difference and why is it important?
Radiative light comes from a direct light source, like the Sun or a fire, or a TV, or a computer screen.
Reflective light comes from a secondary source, like light bouncing off of a table top, a tree or a bowl of fruit.
The spectra of the light we have evolved to see is radiative light. It consists of emission lines, bright narrow lines that cross through the spectrum. Reflective light has absorption lines, dark lines that run through the spectrum.

These differences in light are significant when it comes to being processed in our brain. This can be observed when we sit in front of a fire, a TV or a computer, where we typically become physically inactive, in that we stare almost undistracted and hypnotized into the source of radiation.
Reflective light are photons bouncing off of surfaces, inheriting and changing the radiative source depending on the pigment of the surface.
For example, if you are looking at a red tablecloth, the tablecloth is really not red; it is every other colour other than red. The other colors have been absorbed by the material and the red has been ‘spat out'; it is this information that reaches our eyes.This secondary radiation is red yellow blue rather than red, green, blue.
From an evolutionary standpoint, our eyes would be much better suited to first and foremost interpreting secondary light. Imagine a lion chasing you across a savannah. The information you are dealing with to survive is primarily secondary light (yellow red blue,) light bouncing off of surfaces.  
That the cones in our eyes would have evolved red green blue, which first and foremost deal with a direct light source, seems unintuitive.
But there may be an answer to this.

Eyes in their primordial form would have evolved in water, and probably were initially only able to distinguish light from dark. If you look up through the water, the primary source of light is the Sun, a direct radiative source.
So it might be that the eye evolved by determining a predator by absence of light caused by the its presence. This would explain how our  eyes evolve the way they did; shadow.
Be still.
Don’t move.
Survive,
Reproduce.

Subspace, Cosmological interpretation:

Subspace, Cosmological interpretation:
Coined by the theoretician Jakob Steen Madsen, the word denotes the presence of an absolute vacuum.
Interpretational variations on the phenomenon exist.

Stephen Goodfellow interprets subspace on an  interstellar magnitude, as a spherical volume in space sustained by a rotating (see dynamo effect) magnetically repulsive high energy plasma. The resulting subspace volume  induces gravity (gravity without a corresponding quantity of mass,) causing space to implode on the subspace, thus an equilibrium is maintained. Possible matter manufacture (as per virtual particle production,) and time dilation at the boundary may have further implications.

A primer: Defkalion and Rossi and the strange tale of unlimited free, clean energy


Of course, like everyone else, I knew about the debunked "Cold Fusion" debacle by Fleischmann–Pons and have thought nothing of it for years, only occasionally glancing at various fringe articles that would barely illicit a yawn from me before clicking on to greener webby pastures.
Then, a couple of years ago my news sources kept pestering me with persistent fringey articles about a shady Italian guy called Andrea Rossi who claimed he was running a functional LENR reactor (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions). Rossi was claiming his device, which he called an "E-cat", (short for energy Catalyzer  - was putting out energy and sustaining itself, something that hot fusion scientists have been attempting to do for the past fifty years.
Some desktop contraption that ran on nickel and hydrogen? Ridiculous. Snorting in disbelief, I dismissed this charlatan who apparently had a brush with the law in the past, for environmental pollution created with some shady pseudo clean-up technology. I forgot about it again.
But Andrea Rossi's name kept popping up on the web, in blogs, gathering ever more faithful followers - some of whom seemed surprisingly lucid. I put it down to wishful mass delusion or quackery.
Then Andrea Rossi got together with a Greek company called Defkalion Green Technologies for some purpose or another; whatever they were doing didn't work out; Rossi and Defkalion parted company.

Now, this is where I found myself raising an eyebrow; rather than the Defkalion company continuing on their merry way, doing whatever they were doing before they were associated with Rossi, they were suddenly dabbling with some kind of LENR technology, claiming absurd energy output parameters, very much like Andrea Rossi. This was getting weird and I started paying more attention.

Rossi's company moved from Italy to the US, and Defkalion pulled up roots and moved to Canada. Rossi, ever the non-stop-run-of-the-mouth entertainer, did all he unintentionally could to make LENR seem absurd - except of occasionally running new versions of his device in front of seemingly sane people and sending them away scratching their heads.

Then, in May 2013, Rossi's company presented his E-cat device for a group of scientists from the University of Uppsala (Sweden), running the E-cat, supposedly sustaining high energy output without an external source of power -  and to my astonishment, the observers publish their results - and they were favorable.

On July 23rd 2013, in conjunction with a conference on cold fusion, Defkalion demonstrated their Hyperion device with live streaming video, watched by over a thousand individuals, including myself. This was performed with a neutral and qualified observer present, who placed his report online - again favorable.

From my own subjective point of view, this prompts several questions that I feel need answering, and if you have not heard of this extraordinary subject before, it might be of use to the reader:
  • Why are both companies so shy about having their devices inspected independently by neutral, qualified scientists? Would this not go a considerable way for Rossi and Defkalion to patent their inventions so they could manufacture them for the public?
    The answers are fascinating and fantastic, but do not lack credulity. Incredible as it may seem, either company does not have a clear scientific idea of the physics this discovery - whatever is creating the heat largely remains a mystery, not only to the outside observer, but to the inventors themselves. This falls far short of scientific method and would be more aptly be categorized under the heading of alchemy.
    Consequently, Rossi and Defkalion are caught up in a vicious chicken and egg dilemma: They cannot get a patent, because they cannot explain the nature of the forces they are using to the satisfaction of the international patent office. Therefore, they have no protection from someone who might come forward and offer a clear, rational explanation for the process and thus beat them to the patent. If you think that is unreasonable, then consider the supposed binding contract that Defkalion was asked to sign by Andrea Rossi when the two companies temporarily got together - and after their estrangement, Defkalion completely ignored it. Rossi's company had no leg to stand on. How can you agree on a secret that has no substantial physical explanation?
    I believe to my own satisfaction that this is a very justifiable reason for both companies to be extremely cagey an secretive about the details within the guts of their mystifying devices. 
  • Why isn't the mass media paying more attention to this seemingly astonishing development?I believe that at moments of sudden astonishing innovation, such as the invention of the light bulb or flight, such pronouncements are justifiably greeted by a skeptical media and public with a large measure of denial, a general refusal to believe that drastic change is about come upon society.
    Some have argued that energy consortiums might not too hot no the idea either, because LENR speaks to a decentralized energy grid.
  • Why is the scientific world turning a blind eye to these developments?
    It's complicated. The Fleischmann–Pons cold fusion debacle of the '80's left a very sour taste in the mouth of the science community and any mention on a related subject brings with it the stink of heresy. As a scientist, your scientific career and be ruined if you are in any way found to be associated with cold fusion.
    One could also argue that there are powerful scientific interests at play. Huge resources have been poured into the search for a 'hot fusion' energy solution over the past fifty years with little to nothing in the way of results to show for that effort. I cannot imagine the scientists who's careers have been founded on this approach can look the the present goings on with any kindness, so asking a scientist about LENR, unless they are abreast of the VERY recent developments might be a little like eliciting an opinion on the heliocentric system from a trained pythagorean mathematician; you would not likely receive any enthusiastic nods.
This is a fast developing story, and what is written here will be history in mere weeks. I have placed some links below, pro and con that may help you determine if this is whole escapade is a hoax or some kind of mass delusion, or if society is on the cusp of a radical paradigm shift.

"Panic in Detroit" Revisited

Panic in Detroit

                           "Green Cat" 2005

He looked a lot at his tiara
Driven weasel man
Kept his plans in quiet seclusion
An ambitious man
A vicious survivor
Internationally known hit-man

Panic in Detroit
We asked for for a Golden Calf
They want us to stay home
He sits upon his throne

Panic in Detroit

The city rushed towards his sirens
began to build its tomb
Pleading for his tax deductions
which followed none too soon
A trick of arrangers were all that were left to thrive

Panic in Detroit
We asked for for a Golden Calf
They want us to stay home
He sits upon his throne


Panic in Detroit

Strutting in emperors clothes the man became a ghoul
And found some slouching creatures who would help him rule
I screamed and jumped to smash my favorite slot machine
And dumped the racial bars and demographic blights

Having scored ten trillion dollars
Ran for the Capitol Dome
City sold across the table
No reason to atone
I ran to the window
Smashed out a pane or two

Panic in Detroit
He left with the Golden Calf
“I’ll let you collect rust”
He sits upon his throne
Panic in Detroit





     One of my 'burning Detroit' photos


Notes:
Throughout the 80’s & 90’s Detroit's “Layabouts” covered David Bowie’s “Panic in Detroit” many times, and although the band had its own interpretation, we stuck pretty faithfully to the lyrics.
If I had a time machine, I would love to replace them with this freshly constructed interpretation.
Of course, the ailments that Detroit suffers are complex and cannot be attributed to a simple cause. Nonetheless, in this lyric reinterpretation of David Bowie’s “Panic in Detroit” I have lumped all ills into the personification of a fictional individual whose greed and avarice spells the city’s demise.
As to cadence, I have tried to remain as faithful to Bowie’s lyrics as possible, keeping a line or two intact as they cannot be improved upon.

If I was Back in Doggerland



If I was back in Doggerland
I'd give Doggers a helping hand
and try to save their shrinking land
from all that salty water

If I was back in Doggerland
taking doggy for a stride
I know we'd both run really fast
to cheat that rising ocean tide

Now all that's left is Dogger Bank
The Ice Age it did falter
And so the Ice sheet went and shrank 
- old Dogger's under water

If I was back in Doggerland
I'd never build a Bank
'cause Banks one builds on Doggerland
Are surely going to tank.
