A heads up.  
In the 1 March 2004 Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine <a
href="http://www.aviationnow.com/">link to Aviation Week</a> there is
an article about zero point energy, ZPE.

        The 3 Classes of Man
  All humanity is divided into 3 parts.
This division represents the level of

There are essentially two ways of generating electricity. The induction
generator,  using wrapped coils that rotate and the homo-polar generator of
Faraday.
It was pointed out to me in sci.physics.electomag newsgroup, that even

The Smart Model Is In a State Of Invisibility
.... as can be seen at the Website. Belief is a major factor, too.
  I went to see movie "The Passion Of Christ". It looked very realistic. But
this is what _would_ have_ happened_ if Jesus Christ didn't make His free will

Nature of electric field
         Electric field can be described only in three distinct,
unrelated ways. Only one must be true.
1. Field is a strained condition of aether.

  Mel Gibson has apparently made the most

I'm not a rocket scientist by any means so I am almost undoubtably wrong
here, but who really cares?  Here's my idea:
We can't accellerate a shuttle to or past the speed of light because at that
speed our mass is infinate and it would take an infinate ammount of thrust

The Scarcity of Life Bearing Planets
    There is considerable interest in the possibility that there may be a
large number of planets in our galaxy that are suitable for life. In the hope
that there may be intelligent life on planets lying within a reasonable

The monkey's tree.
 A monkey sat in a very tall tree in a clouded forest.  In the thick
mist the monkey could only see a few feet up or down the trunk of the
tree.  The simple minded primate knew nothing of the massive trunk

Do Virtual Photons Exist?
    The Aether was original conceived as a means of explaining "forces acting
at a distance" (i.e.- electric, magnetic, gravitation, et al). When the idea of
the classical Aether was abandoned early in the century, there was a need to

I got my physics degree many years ago, and as I remember it, you are told
to think of electricity as positive charges moving along wires. This is for
the purpose of making the circuit calculations work out right. Positive
charge does not really move along the wires; the protons are ...
