Is This Guy for Real?

What a bum!

I bet he even looks like this...



And just reeks of booze. Nut job...

For the record I haven't read the article yet, this is just the 1st thing that popped into my head.

It's either a fascinating ad campaign or real. I don't see why such hostility. If it's an ad campaign then cool, good job in being engaging. If it's real, which is fully in the range of probable, then it's something that is going to be one of those things that will make us have to change how we look at things a bit...like you know, maybe those alien nutters, might be sane after all, or perhaps less fuel to go equal or faster speeds = less of an energy problem... and for the less sophisticated... don't you want to see 400+ mph cars in nascar!

If it's an ad campaign, then it's lying and I don't abide liars.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Confirm half of the achievements listed for that guy, and THEN we can start talking about being close to something that looks similar to "probable."


@Rylas

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

I skimmed over the article, so maybe I missed it, but does he actually expain what is going on/how it works? All I see in referance is "electromagnetic effects". What effects is he talking about? How is it powered? It fits in a car, and how did he see the cops expression as he drove by?

Until I see some actuall facts about this technology and/or videos of it working (seriously it's been 11 years testing and he hasn't posed a YouTube video?), color me skeptical.

Oh like no one's ever fudged their resume before.

The man looks like Dr. Zaius, I'll believe anything he says.

I do like his way of doing things, screw the people who ask me to do more tests, its time to mount this thing to a bus and lets see what it could do. I have no love for scientists who have no sense of adventure.

Looking around the best explanation I found...

Einstein implied Gravity links with EM fields in his trying to unify something or other.

He was using an electromagnetic field to mess with time when someone pointed out that it was messing with space too and so he focused on that and he sorta stumbled onto this.

The device apparently doesn't create a full warp bubble.

This is probable because there is research going on in this area with similar effects. There have been alcuberic or however you spell that name drives that are mildly successful and You have experiments where people are using light to twist space and in doing so time to create time travel of sorts.

Light = Electromagnetic field
Time = Space-Time

In other words an electromagnetic field can bend space time. This is just an new method and understanding as to how that's done as far as what I can piece together... and as such is probable


As far as "how did he see the cop's reaction" simply put...If I was a cop and saw someone going at the speed suggested i'd pull em over even if the radar said something else. Also if the radar said something else it implies a space distortion or warping because If you are driving 50mph in a warp field any radar or anything like that will read you as 50mph even though you'd be moving at higher speeds dependent on the warping effect.

Cause the cop was in front of him? I've driven pretty fast speeds and I usually see the cops with the radar guns way ahead of me and can judge pretty well their reactions. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop them from giving me a ticket even if I try to slow down. /Looks somberly at the $500.00 speeding ticking on his desk wishing he had warp technology at the time.

If this guy were real, he would be in a box somewhere with no contact with the outside world. His technology would be dissected, tested, and then hidden away until it could be made profitable without exposing it's true potential.

Quoted for the sad sad truth.

To be fair to the obviously bat **** crazy dude, Hiem theory does actually suggest that strong enough magnetic fields should do this.

Of course no one actually builds 50 Tesla field coils.

I'm pretty sure that Carrot Top and Yahoo Serious has at least 50 tesla coils between them.

I don't think getting 50 tesla coils together would be too hard, especially if they felt it could make things go faster than light.

So, either they just haven't bothered trying it yet or more likely 50 tesla coils won't make things move faster than light.

Only if you have a sufficient number of Tesla Troopers or Tesla Reactors to power them. Otherwise, you'll black out your base. But it's really hard to keep that many Tesla Coils on-line...

Now i know y'all is just funnin', but for those not in on the joke Cass is referrin' to electromagnets capable of generatin' a field strength of 50 Teslas, not havin' 50 Tesla coils. Ah almost feel bad about ruinin' yer lil joke, but there are some who read this section and wouldna get it, as it were.


Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

Ah, so a "tesla" is the magnet equivalent of a rad.

Well, it is a little unbelievable. But we already have teleportation, instantaneous matter creation/destruction, computers that win at jeopardy and tons of other nearly unbelievable feats (to be fair, the middle one is just something we recently figured out to explain black hole radiation).

And which one of these has a working prototype made by some guy in a garage?
