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."
I'm still waiting for them to explain why rockets work in space. It IS still a vacuum right?
My other comp. is a Cadillac.
i thought only jon katz tried to elevate slashdot to the level of 'culturally significant'
You're smoking crack again, and so was Schrodinger.

Well really, if we can't have the Starship Enterprise then what's the fucking point?

>It's pretty sad.
What's pretty sad is to see the scientific dogma that pervades our culture. Your statement reminds me a lot of the Vatican in the 1700s. Anyone who dared say the earth was not the center of the universe was in big trouble.
Yes, it is pretty sad - that the scientific community hasn't changed all that much since the dark ages. They've always thought they had it figured out, even when major holes and inconsistencies were staring them in the face.
