Science
Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a
nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a
"Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed
considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense
initiatives more successful? Can such an application of
science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable,
necessary or impossible?

"...You do NOT know what I write, But that has NOT
prevented you from making a baseless speculation. A
speculation is as baseless as your appeal to Forum readers.
That IS the "problem."..."
You're such a diplomat cantabb.

"...Seeing people blown into pieces by mines -- years
after warfare -- is a strong case to NOT use them anywhere on
earth..."
Agreed. Why don't you go to Afghanistan or Laos or
somewhere and help dig some up, lchic?

showalter, you may remember me. I worked to help you
establish your ideas because I believe in letting people at
least prove they are wrong before they are disregarded. You
were given a chance, with the backing of a real professor who
didn't think of you as "crazy", and were in a unique position
to prove yourself. You did not succeed. You disappeared. Then
you came back with lots of talk about security clearance, etc.
Okay. I took it with a grain of salt. Maybe you were scared,
maybe it wasn't time, but what it comes down to is the fact
that you can't prove what you are trying to say. If there is
biological inductance, prove it. You can't prove it by wasting
time on this thread. If you really wanted to prove it you
would clearly spend more time working on the ins and outs of
proving your theory, as the molecular biology and neuroscience
behind it are not that difficult. You would also not forget
the people who have been most interested and who are
positioning themselves in the right spots to test that theory,
as you seem to have done. Nobody who has a lot of experience
in neuroscience thiks that biological inductance exists, and
if you're math proves it, and your experiment in a box
verifies it, then it shouldn't be a secret anymore. Showalter,
you know who I am. I miss our talks and seeing you and
learning from you, but man, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? This is
absurd. This is a challenge for you to do something more
interesting with yourself than waste it on this thread. This
thread is a distraction, and if someone WERE trying to keep
you down, this would be the perfect way to do it. An abyss of
crap. Get out of this black hole and prove it, or shutup.
