Bill Beaty's "Weird Science" Update...

VOTE:   FAR TOO MUCH TO COVER, so VOTE on where the thread should wander...


DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS?   save them up for Q&A at the end.


I still haven't written a book... but now I see I have no need, because
when reading my website, each user CREATES their own book.  The darned
thing has grown so huge now, that people can spend hours wandering around
inside it.  Every time they do, they stumble across a different variety of
stuff.  This sure beats normal books, where the reader is lead by the nose
down a single pathway.  I sure wish I knew how to make a living doing
this...

LISTENER VOTE: if I put my website on a CDROM, would you buy it, even
though the whole thing is already right there on the Internet for free? 
A local CDROM would be quite a bit faster to browse!  (maybe do this
vote at the end of the show?  If there is actual interest, I might even make a
press run of CDROMS.)


Current status of the "Hum"
   Not saying anything new, if you're already familiar.
   TWO suicides now.
   LF sounds recorded by Anders H and Lennart B. in Sweden (not always a mystery)

   If you are listening, please use the "report form" found at
   http://www.scienceclub.org/cgi-pvt/hum/humrpt.html,  and the 0-9 range described
   http://amasci.com/freenrg/humlev.txt

   Charlotte King hears FOGHORNS, they change before earthquakes, and
   a hyperbaric chamber did not shield them. (not sound)

   If you are in Seattle area, and hear the hum as being very loud, I'd like
   to invite you to a "weird science" meeting.  If we get more than one person,
   perhaps we can see if the waves that you both hear are the same (which would
   PROVE that they come from an external source, and not from your own brain.)

    It still continues, unshieldable and unstoppable.  One
    "hum-sufferer" reports an interruption in February.  Perhaps the
    following topic holds a solution (..is the "Hum" caused by
    Einstein/Tesla spinwave military transmitters?  Is it louder indoors
    because of "pyramid power" phenomena? Not MAGNETIC fields, but
    SPIGNETIC fields!) http://amasci.com/hum/hum.html

VOTE:  do you hear the hum on camping trips?   in your house at night?
Everywhere?   See the hum rating list.     http://amasci.com/freenrg/humlev.txt



Russian scientists publicizing their spin-physics research.
   Alex Frolov and ????
   Einstein and Elie Cartan explored Torsion, or General Relativity, with a
   spacetime that not only bends and waves, but also spins.
   These so-called "Torsion Fields" might offer a scientific explanation
   of such things as telepathy, auras, 'pyramid power', earth-energy,
   astrology, levitation etc.  But they are FTL, and so ignored by mainstream.

   Torsion is an organizing concept, a rallying-point   

   Currently there's a minor revival of amateur research into "Shape Effect" 
   and "power spots" going on.  Use of old detectors, building new ones.  Storm glass.
   Russians are translating their papers into english, and we 
   might soon see some VERY interesting books become available.
      (I talk about the "vortex detector" I've built, w/photos)

[We're looking for volunteers to translate Russian papers to English!!]

Report your Unusual Phenomena
    This archive is growing large.  Ball-Lightning reports, electrified
    humans,  waking up in the wrong universe, disappearing objects, 
    timewarps in your kitchen, etc.  (Any "electric people" in seattle?
    Wanna come get your voltage measured?)

Free energy devices
    Still no devices that everyone can build.  Any experimenter who is
    successful will always hide it and try to drive up the selling price.
    If "space energy" is a living thing, then this is like enslaving your
    talented children.  Since much comes from the "Muse", its like forcing your
    spouse into prostitution!  Bad for one's health!  :)
    Ego, greed, and self-aggrandizement have stopped nearly all progress
    towards successful harnessing of space-energy.  They never learn.  See
    http://amasci.com/freenrg/prometh.txt
    Also http://amasci.com/freenrg/rules1.html

    However, FINALLY one inventor is breaking all the paranoid
    secrecy rules by posting detailed experiments on his website!

I'm just an effing SKEPTIC! http://amasci.com/weird/wskept.html
  (Some "skeptics" webpages are openminded.  The magazine THE SKEPTIC  (http://www.skeptic.com) is
  actually not bad at all (especially when compared to the intellectual
  bigotry that fills the other big Skeptical publication.)


Closed-mindedness of contemporary science, science heresies, lots of new
articles added.:
  http://amasci.com/weird/wclose.html

   New page: collected quotes: "Against Excessive Skepticism",  use it as
   ammunition when dealing with those darned "Pathological Skeptics."

   The "Whistleblower Protection" groups have discovered Maverick Science!
   Any "dissident" researcher who dares to study a "taboo" subject will
   have their career destroyed.  But this is the same as when a scientist
   speaks out against abuses committed by powerful organizations.  It
   makes no difference whether the vengeful response is comitted by
   corporate flunkies on the one hand, or "Proper Skeptics" on the
   other.  No conspiracy is required (just like sexism and racism, the
   people who are hateful and intolerant of unconventional thinkers don't
   need to "conspire".)  The actions of Skeptics are revealed to be
   "Suppression of intellectual Dissent" and the  "WHistleblower"
   organizations are offering guidance to any scientists who are attacked for
   breaching the Taboos.  See Brian Martin's articles, sites, LETTER TO A
   DISSIDENT SCIENTIST, and STRATEGIES FOR DISSENTING SCIENTIST.  (If they
   really are out to get you, and if you accuse them of this, they will
   loudly proclaim that you are a paranoid lunatic!  Twisted, eh?)

   Marcello Truzzi, one of the founders of Committee for the Scientific
   Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP & Skeptical
   Inquirer) is writing excellent articles AGAINST the "pseudoskeptics"
   who disparage and belittle ideas without ever testing them. "Skepticism"
   originally meant openmindedness, but those who are bigoted against
   unusual ideas have now usurped the name "Skeptic".   See his articles
   "Reception of Unconventional Claims in Science" and "Pseudoskeptics"

   Humans are just evolved animals?  The only way to succeed is Darwin's
   way, to COMPETE and be a WINNER, not a LOSER?   But the tit-for-tat
   algorithm from Artifical Life researchers, and "Iterated Prisoner's 
   Dillema" from the science of Game Theory are wiping the floor with
   competition-based Darwinism!  A Major heresy!  Darwinism is WRONG.
   Computer simulations demonstrate that evolution is NOT competition,
   it is collaboration. Symbiosis and Self-interested altruism wins in
   the long run, and self-aggrandizing "winners" do not.  The rat race is
   a human invention, and Life is NOT a Zero Sum Game.  Life is not a
   boxing match, where the strong defeat the weak.  Life is a
   mountaineering expedition, where competitive behavior between the team
   members is stupid and dangerous.

COLD FUSION 
Les Case, the Wired article, I.E. magazine,  LENR low energy ,
CANR chemically assisted CETI not getting large heat anymore, one
particular good batch of beads.   Japan funding gone.
Blacklight Power and shrunken hydrogen.   Los Alamos got Tritium detected.

ANTIGRAVITY

   NASA researchers now have money to attempt replication of Podkletnov's
   superconducting antigravity disk.  Their 6" disk failed.  Somebody
   should hire Dr. Podkletnov, since the University of Tampere kicked him
   out when he publicized his "taboo" physics research.  Like
   parapsychology and cryptozoology (nessie, bigfoot), Antigravity
   research is a big Taboo in the physical sciences, and reputable
   scientists dare not touch it.  (NASA is on thin ice in dealing with it
   at all!)  Yet Dr. R.Goddard got his start by pursuing antigrav devices!
   ESJ has a new website.    Hal Fox started a journal called:

TESLA: BALL LIGHTNING

   No earthshaking discoveries, but there are a number of "microwave oven
   recipes" for producing something akin to "BL."

UPCOMING CONFERENCES.

   EXOTIC RESEARCH in Seattle in march.  I'll be speaking on how to 
   REALLY understand electricity.
EXOTIC RESEARCHin Seattle March 25-28


   THe Society for Scientific Exploration has their 18th annual meeting
   in Albuquerque NM June 3-5.   I'm thinking of going.  The SSE is what
   CSICOP should have been: a group which actually performs scientific
   investigations.  The pseudoskeptics hate the SSE, since the SSE 
   doesn't pre-judge the validity of claimed phenomena, and they publish
   papers that sometimes debunk, but also often SUPPORT the existence of
   unusual phenomena.  The SSE is a small organization, and they could
   sure use a lot more members.  Go to www.jse.com and sign up!
