Dear friends,
for more than I year I have been following the wonderful work that Mr. Schatzkin has been doing and also the excellent discussions exchanged at this forum. Usually I prefer to remain in the background and let others talk, but this time my fingers itch too much and I have to add a few of my thoughts.
I did not expect this marvelous book to end so soon and now might be the last chance to express what is on my mind.
Before I do that, let me say that Mr. Schatzkin you have truly been doing an extraordinary work, which has is an inestimable service to all of us who are intersted in the Truth. Perhaps I may seem naive or old-fashioned, but I believe that Truth is so valuable that it should be pursued, because of itself and not, because one hopes to get something from it.
Further I would like to say how deeply impressed I was by the post made by Dr. Brown's daughter Ms. Linda Brown. All the readers of the book - present and future - owe you a big THANK YOU, because without you this book would be impossible to write. Ms. Brown, your father was a truly good man - not just, because of his inventions, but above all, because of his integrity, kindness and honesty. Without these even the most intelligent man, will only remain great. In the end though what matters most is not greatness, but goodness.
Then of course there are all the wonderful posters here and the invaluable Mr. Twigsnapper. Mr. Twigsnapper, your words: "The only person without an agenda of some sort is generally dead" occupy a place of honour in my collection of quotes. If ever the Delphic oracle re-opens it's doors, I am positive that Mr. Twigsnapper will be a most worthy successor.
Although I do not know anyone of you here personally, I still feel as if in the company of old friends, when I come to read your insightful remarks.
Despite the fact that I am a university student of Chinese and Sanskrit (in the context of Comparative Indo-European Linguistics) and therefore not very much versed in the technical area, I have felt a deep affinity with Dr. Brown. When I was only 8 years old I read the book by Charles Berlitz "The Bermuda Triangle" and then came through it to the infamous book by William Moore with the title "The Philadelphia Experiment". This was also the first time that I heard of Dr. Brown and since then this enigmatic man has been always at the back of my mind. When the old website was up providing his articles and patents in pdf-form I was frequently visiting and saving these files. The format of the website was excellent and I wish it would be like in the old days!
Finally I would like to address a few topics, which have been a terrible itch and I have been somewhat surprised that they were not debated more deeply. I hope my words will stimulate the discussion in this direction. If I beat the proverbial horse of time travel too much, then please forgive me.
1. Why did not anyone here at the forum mention the work of Dr. James S. Corum , especially his text "Tesla's Egg of Columbus, Radar Stealth, the Torsion Tensor, and the 'Philadelphia Experiment' ?
(ABSTRACT: By calculation, the magnetic field required to reduce a ship's radar reflection to less than 1 percent at L-Band (1.5) GHz is in excess of 15,0000 A/m. Fields of this magnitude would appear to fulfill the requirements of a "Philadelphia Experiment" by creating green mist and cavities in salt water as well as magnetophosphenes and Purkinje patterns in humans, particularly if driven at frequencies in the range of 10-125 Hz, as was available from synchronous generators on WWII electric-drive ships. The authors “offer this little study in the spirit of an engineer and some physicists having some fun, looking at published statements, attempting to stay within the bounds of engineering technical propriety, and saying, ‘What if?’”)
I know that the Philadelphia Experiment has turned out to be a skillful disinformation ploy and forgive me if I beat this proverbial dead horse so much, but I still think that the above text might contain some valuable data. And please do not forget that Dr. Corum also worked for "No Such Agency" among other! What is the role of Dr. Corum in all this buzz about time travel? Is there any connection to Dr. Brown and his research? Or is it again the old blend of truth and falsehood?
2. Why did not anyone pay attention to the brilliant work of Gabriel Kron and his contributions (
http://www.quantum-chemistry-history.co ... briel1.htm)? If I missed a post, where he has been mentioned, then I beg your apologies. Mr. Twigsnapper, can you perhaps help us out, if Gabriel Kron and his theories had any connection with Dr. Brown's work and the possibility of manipulating gravity, time and space?
3. Then there is of course the text by Robert W. Beckwith with the title "Levitation, Teleportation and Time Travel" brought to our attention by Mr. Gregg Vizza. It is truly a great shame that it has not been discussed more deeply! Yes, I am aware of the problem with the small light indicator labeled "teleportation mode". It does sound silly. But why throw the baby out with the bath? Mr. Twiggsnapper later made a curious remark on February 13th 2008:
"As I have warned before though, watch out for the cow paddies in your way. Note this blending of interesting information...............
'In the "Philadelphia Experiment" in the 1940s, the test ship, the minesweeper IX97 (originally the yacht "Martha’s Vineyard") and its personnel were "blasted" into this strange realm, instead of making a gentle, controlled entry. Nicola Tesla, virtually on his deathbed, had instructed the scientific team involved how to do this. (See Bob Beckwith’s book "Hypotheses" – Beckwith was a GE scientist on the team). The results of this experiment, which produced inadvertent time travel from the experimental ship’s location to another location and back and produced horrendous results (crew members were fused through the deck etc.), are slated for de-classification in 2002, according to private sources.'"
All this may be another diversion, another red herring accross the path. If you can Mr. Twiggsnapper, please elaborate more on this. I am very well aware that the classical recipe for disinformation is a sprinkle of truth and a ton of falsehood.
4. I was also somwehat surprised that no in-depth discussion was conducted on the following seminal quote made by Mr. Schatzkin from August 15th 2007:
"And I'll add another one to your list: Often in our correspondence, Morgan has alluded to a sense of "urgency" surrounding this entire undertaking. I often wonder if he's frustrated that it's taking me so long. Aside from that, I have to wonder as you do: what's the hurry? Why... the sense of urgency?"
Then the remark made by Mr. Twigsnapper on October 14th 2007:
""They Are US"
A wise and perhaps comforting thought. Explains the careful almost maternal care of the human race here by this other intelligence, if you happen to look at it this way, helping us all of the time to develop to our fullest potential.
But is that all there is out there? When I say " out there" I mean just that. Another place, another dimension. Couldn't there be another entity out there which would have no regard for our civilization or our very lives? What was it that the Alien in Independence Day said in response to a humans question " What can we do to make peace with you" ( or something like that, haven't seen the movie in a long time.) What can we do? The answer was simple .... "Die."
And you say that wouldn't happen that some thing so advanced would treat other life in a more beneficial way?
Well, the Columbus men were much more " advanced" than the simple native Islanders they found when they landed in the Bahamas. Fifty some years later the remaining Indians of that tribe were being hunted and killed off. They were replaced, by the way, by slave labor from Africa. Their nature had been too peaceful and soft to be able to defend or even survive the yoke of slavery."
I am not ready to see you put your cautionary tale away kevin. I think that we have to grow up pretty darned quick because I believe, as you have sensed, that there are REAL dangers out there which will challenge us soon. And I think that grinder will go along with me when I say that we need the biggest headstart than we can get."
I know that certain things should perhaps not be spelled out too explicitly, but if there truly exists this great danger and the sense of utmost urgency, then it would be good to deepen the discussion on this topic.
Are there truly malevolent extraterrestrial or other-dimensional entities intent on harming or subjugating the human civilization? I think we already have enough problems here on planet Earth itself i.e.: the peaking of oil and gas-production, top-soil depletion, enviromental pollution, Arctic and Antarctic ice melting, over-population etc.
I am not a mathematician, but in my modest opinion the more a system is heterogenous, complex and inter-connected, the more weak points exist where things can go wrong. And in such systems there are no bell-curves, but Power Laws sway hold. The number of vulnerable points and systempunkts increases exponentially with the complexity, heterogenity and inter-connectedness of the system.
Just look at the looming financial and economic crisis, which is well underway in the US and will spread around the globe. The alchemy of ATM's, CDO, credit default swaps, etc. obviously does not work as imagined and will not enable everyone to ride on the horse of prosperity in the sundown of nirvana.
My post is already too long, but I still hope it will stimulate the discussion additionaly.
Wishin you all the best,
Andrew
