It's Springtastic!
Jan. 5th, 2006 04:24 pmMostly for my own reference, in the spirit of the Larry Spring madness of recent times and Science That Isn't:
Here's a link I remembered which you can file under your "Fun Links from the Lunatic Fringe" folder. It's about a guy who claims to have worked as a physicist for the government at Area 51 who was commissioned to reverse engineer downed alien spacecraft. He describes an antigravity propulsion system based on an Element 115 (the next stable element after the radioactive elements not found here on earth but possibly could be found in solar systems with more massive suns). I don't necessarily believe his story or agree with his theories, but its a fun read anyway :)

This was passed on to me by the physics major I had investigate that last round of Weird Science (refer to this and that.) His results: It's been proven that when an electron and proton meet they do not form a neutron, as Larry would suggest, instead they destroy each other and break apart into smaller particles. As for the flow of electrons, that part seemed feasible because, well, that's pretty much how that part works in real life.
