Being Decent To Each Other

The purpose of this forem is not to ignore but to contribute. Contributions can be responded to in a postive manner, even if one does not agree with them this benefits everyone.
Namecalling and belittling  benefit nobody.
Nations do this we don't have to.
It's somethimes hard to change but change we must!

It's not about agreeing with someone. It's about impudence in pushing wrong ideas as truth which must not be allowed. Science is not a democracy. Not everything goes in Science. It is intrinsically intolerant and whoever abuses it must bear the consequences.

Now, look who's giving opinions--the biggest offender. As for the magnet motors, these are the most promising. Remember, in this area (SMOT being part of it) it has been conclusively proven for the first time that CoE can be violated. No other area has so well expressed, rigorous scientific evidence to that effect. No wonder why the tensions are higher here. In addition, here's the first promising application of SMOT for continuous production of energy from nothing--@xpenzif's motor. Exciting times.

Lisa, in this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

See, the thing is, you don't even know exactly what you're talking about. You've heard this and are repeating it without deeper knowledge of it. You should know that laws of thermodynamics aren't disobeyed in most cases even with this discovery. What we are talking now is about one very special case which, of course, is enough to overthrow the general validity of CoE. However, technical thermodynamics or chemical thermodynamics remain as we know them. Those who have taken courses in these disciplines, take chemical thermodynamics, for instance, know that in the very introduction a statement is made that all observations will be in absence of magnetic fields. Of course, in the future the exception may become the rule because efforts will be redirected into exploring what now is the exception. For obvious reasons. As of today and foreseeable future, however, not to worry, chemical thermodynamics will still govern basic education in, say, chemistry.

First of all, lighten up.  That was a Simpsons reference.  It does not demand a fully thought-out rebuttal.

Next, the First Law of Thermodynamics states, "The increase in the internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of energy added by heating the system, minus the amount lost as a result of the work done by the system on its surroundings."  See, no room for energy out of nothing.

In the end ideas and concepts will stand or fall on their own merit. Lets address them directly not by attacking personally that individual that proposes them. What do we accomplish by insults and namecalling and implying that a person is incompentent or without merit.
We are all ignorant of different things.
Change is hard!
