Kevin, It doesn't take a specially trained dowser to recognize that Mikado is becoming annoyed. I could have told you that, and I'm intentionally blind. (Okay, not really.) I'm also a bit annoyed. I was reading some of Einstein's original writings (translated) last night, and he stated succinctly wh...

Langley, That is some interesting reading, indeed! Imagine had the Germans devoted a Manhattan-sized effort to the project, the resolution of the war could have been far far messier. London had been bombed plenty, but as I understand it not like Dresden was, and definitely not like Hiroshima or Naga...

Good chapter, Paul. Chuck Yeager was two years from being promoted to General in 1967 (Date of Rank June 22, 1969), but that's not material. It's really interesting how the whole family kept wandering right up until Tula left town, and then they B-lined straight for Odlum. Except for the fact that T...

Okay, I can buy intentionality. Sort of. I've had enough experiences along those lines. How you hook that up to your engineered device and get it to do what you want is beyond me. If the Caroline Group has managed that sort of interfacing, THAT would be some story in and of itself. However, as for t...

Re: You Sure?
There are ways of computing this stuff. As it currently stands, none of that exists for Brown's work. Which raises an interesting question: what do you suppose was in those notebooks that Linda and Morgan spirited away from Building #4 along with that peacock? And... where are they.... NOW? --PS Pa...

Money and traces
Mikado, Obviously, the Caroline Group was spending plenty of money and was hard at work, ala Cutlass. In order for Brown to maintain the public face of it, he had to operate on the public side as if the Caroline Group did not exist. Unfortunately, the "public" included his own family, thou...

Re: something to be said
So maybe Paul when we say to you Paul " We LOVE it, Great Chapter!" maybe you have to take our praise with a certain grain of salt. :) I think it's a good idea for us to keep our grains of salt handy for all of this. Certainly, I am. This is entirely beyond any standard or mainstream phys...

Re: never went back
This is the kind of comment that just makes me wonder how Linda ever managed to get any kind of a quality education at all. In my experience, very little out of any given school day is actually spent learning. Sure, you'll miss knowing what assignments are due, but a school year can be condensed in...

Kevin, Actually, in the year since you've been here, your communication has become much more clear to those of us who've grown up disconnected from your way of thinking. It's not only that we've come to understand you better, but that, I think, you've come to understand us better. You're much less c...

I could get by well enough on $450 month, living alone, today. That would be about $62 back then. So Brown takes $62/month (maybe less, considering where he's living) out of his $500, and sends the rest home. That's not unreasonable, and the income was easily enough to finance a house in 1957 withou...

Re: 500 goes a long way
Then in 1957 apparently he is paid the princely sum of $500.00 a month? Just doesn't seem enough really to be able to buy a piece of property anywhere with that kind of income? Or am I caught in a time warp again? Was that a good wage then? Perhaps he had a bank somewhere he just never mentioned? J...

Things are never as they seem. If you were to read this latest chapter without the context of the others, you'd get the impression that Brown had just picked up a research job for Bahnson. He'd been working on this thing in France and was able to continue it. He wrote home to talk about his research...
