Simple: That you are too stupid to understand.

Seriously. That will be the explanation

-K

I second that!

I also have a slight feeling he will say he was threatened by "the man."

I also think he might try to make this "man" me. He has already made me and my stance well know on the site. He has already painted me as an oil guy and let everyone know I have personal contact with him. I think I am the prime target for the scapegoat.

I gotta say a lot of you fellows have TONS of hot air   Archer... well he's busy building    its like WORK   you actually have to do things   not talk about them experiment    He has my respect  setting a challenge for himself pulling up his sleeves getting dirty   there is no loosing   he has already done more for FE   OU   then all the hot air you can puke out put together    Chet

Chet, Archet has done nothing for FE or OU. Nothing. He has made the whole thing look like its a cult of crackpots. He is proving how ignorant he is about physics and math. So tell your children not to drop out of school at 13.

Do we cheer him on because we all love a hero? If he spent the same amount of energy getting an education, he might suceed at holding a job. Archer built a lever. holy shit, break out the champagne.

It is well enough understood that magnets are in almost every complex mechanical device. They have their *proven uses*

THOSE ARE Real World Benefits of the Everyday variety...are you kidding?

Why does something have to be mundane to be valid?

They don't have to be, but it's evidence to complete scrutiny if they are.

Fallacy. How about this for any explanation: We truly understand what they are capable of, which is why we use them and exploit them to assist in the generation of electricity.

You really think that people 100+ years ago knew...more...about magnetism than we do now?!?!

Dude in 1908 people still were drinking water with dirt in it in major cities.

And now we drink chlorine and fluoride in ours. How is this better?

The Fallacy of the Tinkerer. It just isn't true, man.

*Usually* breakthru's are made by JUST the people you are disparaging...hardworking EDUCATED techs and scientists that spend countless hours pushing the envelope of what is known.

Somewhere tho in fringeland, people started floating this notion that scientists do NOT CHALLENGE what is known.

That is one of the core principles of science! Why people into "alternative" anything seem to think that researchers DON'T try to discover new things is a mystery to me. It is what they DO.

Some dude puttering about discovering something mindblowing is the *RARE exception* and not the rule; it is a romantic notion, but the facts don't back that up.

Look it up for yourself, virtually every major modern advancement in the last 100 years was made by HIGHLY SKILLED AND HIGHLY TRAINED PROFESSIONAL Doctors/Scientists/Educators in their field.

Anything that wasn't was certainly made scalable and usable by such people.

And believe me, a LOT of folks in the sciences and engineering that have made these breakthru's have taken a much greater beating than Quinn. Much.

Of course some, sadly, have been lost, as they made great discoveries (look at Tesla or Pauling) that were proven and repeatable, only to end up in the "lose" column...and not because they tried and failed, but because they tried and failed *repeatedly* and would not see the folly of their *pointless* tenacity in clinging to notions *proven false* again and again.

The Backyard Brainiac is *of course* possible; in fact, it is a scientific and mathematical certainty that some IDIOT will discover something amazing at some point.

This does NOT mean we shut down universities and make MORE IDIOTS to raise the odds...and it certainly does not mean that THIS idiot AQ is the idiot in question...if you get what I mean.

Man, with you the glass isn't 1/2 full or 1/2 empty.

It's full or empty, no in between.

I don't say don't learn.

I say there's more than 1 friggin' way to.

Obviously you, and most of society don't see that as being true.

That is a sad thing.

You're dismissed, again.

...and you might have learned how to spell.

Strange how everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

And sadly even today there are people eating dirt to survive. Yes, dirt!

If Archer had not destroyed his only working perpetual motion machine prototype two years ago, starving people in the world today would instead be eating fresh vegetables and drinking clean water. What make more sense to you, saving someone from starvation or the 'possibly' of putting an Arab out of work? Any fool knows the correct choice. Only a jackass would not!
