Eric Lerner's Focus Fusion Device Gets Funded
pln2bz writes "Eric Lerner, author of The Big Bang Never Happened, has received $600k in funding, and a promise of phased payments of $10 million if scientific feasibility can be demonstrated to productize Lerner's focus fusion energy production device. Unlike the Tokamak, focus fusion does not require the plasma to be stable, does not produce significant amounts of dangerous radiation, directly injects electrons into the power grid without the need for turbines and would only cost around $300k to manufacture a generator. Lerner's inspiration for the technology is based upon an interpretation for astrophysical Herbig-Haro jets that agrees with the Electric Universe explanation."
Yeah, this is basically the same con that organized religion plays with the whole "heaven" hypothesis.
We know where leadership by an anti-intellectual "strongman" who scapegoats minorities and likes boisterous rallies goes
....it doesn't feel the electromagnetic force.....
If it can't "feel" the electromagnetic force, which is 36 orders of magnitude greater than gravity, how can it "feel" gravity? How can anyone answer that question unless he/she knows what gravity is in the first place. We know that gravity is indistinguishable from acceleration, but nobody has a clue as to what property of matter, dark or "normal" makes it create this force we have named "gravity".
How can it be, that modern, supposedly educated, "mainstream" cosmologists ignore the much powerful force of electricity in the operation of the universe? How can it be that modern cosmology tries to explain the operation of the entire universe by the operation of the weakest force of nature?
If electricity WERE taken into by these so called "scientists" would that demolish some long held, sacred, pet theories? Maybe that is the core of the problem as to why the electric force and the mechanism of plasmas is studiously ignored. Maybe that is the reason why those who attempt to explain the latest space data in terms of electric phenomena are not only ignored, but heaped with scorn and ridicule by the government funded scientific establishment.
All theory is gray
I'll take out a loan and donate a kidney if he takes and passes a few courses in logic and English from any accredited college.
Alright, MR. GENIUS, can you tell me where microwave radiation comes from? THAT'S RIGHT, it comes from a MICROWAVE OVEN. And what does a microwave oven run on? You guessed it: 110-volt ELECTRICITY!!!
Score: Electric Universe Theory: 1. Mainstream science: 0.
