Roll on the 20th June

You never know.. I suppose you feel there is no chance in hell for anyone to contribute to science here..

Truthfully, of the dozen or so threads I have read on OU.com I think that is a pretty fair assessment. I see a lot of knowledgeable  people spouting all kinds of nonsense but with great passion. So it is a realm of passionate ignorance.

So,, I ask you why are you even here then?

I have never been on a forum in which I was devil's advocate in which someone did not invariably ask why I was there. It is so predictable. Nevertheless, I had no idea that the forum was a mutual admiration society for Archer Quinn as that caveat is somehow missing from the homepage. For an answer, since you are obviously writing a book on my benign intentions, is that I am here for probably the same reason as why people stop to look at either buildings under construction or building collapses. Not sure yet which it is. And neither are you frankly.

Bobbo;

If you go back and read Archers first post,(maybe not his first, but first couple) you will see that he makes clear reference that he didn't know if just making the wheel 10 times bigger would still alow it to run, just as he points out that a 747 made 10 times bigger may or may not fly.

He has not shyed away from the setbacks of scaling up his design, he has had to learn ways around the new problems.

I think you really need to look at Archer's hubris and the fact that I came here from his original interview on Free Energy Truth where he makes it pretty clear that this building process was more of a formality than anything else. In fact he was so sure of himself or full of himself that he set a deadline of June 20th. How could I possibly miss watching something so emphatically declarative as that? I mean that is history in the making kind of stuff only to find out the guy is groping in the dark , is mean spirited to boot and spouts all kinds of conspiracy nonsense about Newton who is not even responsible for the laws of thermodynamics.

If in fact he had been a little more humble in his approach and stated his intentions with less bravado I think he would have been given a lot more leeway by everyone although the skeptics would still be uh... skeptical.

If I am raining on anyone's parade I suggest putting on your mackintosh and galoshes.

Oh, great.. Your the guy on the highway slowing traffic by stopping to watch the police and medic pealing someones head off the pavement from a previous crash.

And I know why I am here.. I am running a few experiments related to some of the ones a few people are working on in this forums as well as one that I have not seen tried or spoken of yet.. Some of the ideas and theories here help invoke different concepts and ideas I can use in my own experiments with the projects I am working on.

You should go back and re-read those posts.... you mis-read them.

He's saying if you make a 747 10 times bigger it WILL fly and that making the wheel bigger it will STILL run....

And no comments on his 2nd to last post

where he raves like a rabbid lunatic?  Someone must have run out of prozac.

In know you are kidding but I think a few medics might be in order for Archer.

That's fine as you do not need to rationalize your participation here any more than I do really. We are all here for different reasons but high on the list is the spectacle  Archer has crafted and perpetuates. This is at best performance art. Whether it is good art or bad is yet to be seen. But it is most certainly not science yet.
