NASA to Investigate Hydrinos

An Anonymous Coward writes "A new NASA program might once and for all settle the "hydrino" question. The concept of the hydrino -- hydrogen shrunk below its normal state with the resulting release of extreme ultraviolet light -- has been derided by the physics establishment and surprisingly embraced by many engineers and people with deep pockets. Slashdot hashed the hydrino pretty vigorously in December 1999. Now NASA is funding independent research into making a rocket from this novel idea. If it works, we could be seeing a sea change in physics. If it fails, hydrinos might finally just float away. There's an active study group of several hundred users (including some prominent scientists) devoted to debating the possible existence of hydrinos. In many ways it sprang from slashdot."

    One thing is certain, no Linux company has come back to live after coming so near death as LNUX is now. Add LNUX to the long list of failed linux companies. If you know someone who is a LNUX advocate, please bitch-slap them now, because they should have known better.

    You are either one of the stupidest people on slashdot or a troll. Either way, I hope there's a violent mugging in your near future.

    Hydrinos ! Bah Hum Bug !

    This is about the biggest crack pot idea I've
    read from this once illustrious organization.

    There is one fantastic idea out there that will
    work, but thank god the scientist wont be
    the foot stool or dupe for other NASA scientist.

    I understand from the scientist that he can be
    can be bought for a large chunk of $$$$$$$$$$$$

    The scientist said he will take his realistic
    concept for what he knows as the FORD Automobile
    of space to the grave if his monetary interest
    arent satisfied.

    Space Propulsion Engine for Flying Saucer - New Physics

    Rumor in Silicon Valley -

    Inventor of 3D volume holographic optical storage
    shopping his concept for Space Propulsion Engine
    using Propellantless Mass to US and other countries.

    for further look at biography background goto

    http://colossalstorage.net/colossal.htm

    He say he has studied the worlds propulsion
    engines and knows whats out there and smiles
    when asked how his is different.

    He is working in top secret and he says no physicist or scientist
    he has ever studied or researched had this approach and knows his
    concept will work to give near light speed travel thru Galaxy with
    500K/Miles per Hour to start or 138 miles/sec. Nasa fastest time
    are 25,000 mile/hr or 3.9 miles/sec

    he says it is a mankind first concept !!

    Is that the most inane, self-stroking thing we've ever heard? "sprang from /....".

    The only that springs from this hut is hubris...and apparently lots of it!

    /. wouldn't make a pimple on the ass of science or NASA, for that matter.

    Hmm, someone baiting all the slashdotters with a simple question where half of us will wonder if the question is serious and the other half with will slap our foreheads and go 'fuck me this is stupid!'.


    I'll put myself in the latter group.


    Is this www.adequacy.org? Is this an attempt at the ultimate troll in the latest 'NASA' article on slashdot?

    Sigh...


    At the time of my post, 'FakePlasticMe' has posted 4 post, all of them score 1 with the exceptio of this one.


    Only due to the combination of crack smoking moderators and troll-making posters can such an event come about such as 'FakePlasticMe' getting a score 5 on a troll post.


    Not that I'm surprised. I know this. Many others know this. It's the light and way. Post early, post often... you'll get modded up. Post something right and true, you'll get zero responses and no moderations. Post something dumb-shit/troll/etc, and hello!
