Not dynamite but ELECTRIC ARCS!

You wouldn't want to put your anti-meteoroid umbrella up in space hey, or fly the shuttle dragging a key on a string! lol

If ya can be bothered reading up on it, (not something I'd worry too much about), Tom Bridgman has a bit to say about their more recent stuff on this (Dated April 2010).

Cheers

Could be lethal!!!

These guys are a waste of time, the EU guys, that is. They live in their own little fantasy world and it doesn't matter how you approach them in trying to debunk their crackpot ideas, you can't win. They've taken science and twisted it to suit their own nonsense. If you wanted to, you could prove anything is possible, if you throw in enough of the right science to back yourself up. But anyone who has any real training in the subjects they supposedly know something about would see right through their BS. The problem is, having a go at these fools takes up so much time you end up getting caught up in this merry go round of nonsense that diverts you away from what you should be doing. You only have to look at the standard of the science they do profess to see just how weak their ideas are. Not only that, most that believe in this rubbish have little or no education in any science, apart from their normal high school education. The few who have anything like a uni degree haven't even studied the fields necessary to understand the science involved. The best of them are electrical engineers and only 2 of them have anything like the qualifications and experience they should have for their field.

Yep - to Carl's reply.

Tom Bridgman says on EU Lunar 'theories':


Quote:
Among the authors listed above, EU supporters might find some of the graphics on F.C. Michel's page rather interesting and more evidence that astronomers have been examining the effects of electric fields in space for quite some time, contrary to claims of EU supporters. Another author, R.P. Lin, currently does solar physics (for a NUCLEAR-powered sun) and is the Principal Investigator for the RHESSI solar x-ray satellite.

In other words, here is another example, going back several decades, where astronomers have examined electric fields in space, and are still considering them today, contrary to the claims of the EU supporters.

I've yet to find any evidence that any EU supporter has predicted the mechanism, or estimated values of the currents and/or voltages created, prior to these publications. Without such documentation, it would appear the EU 'theorists' are simply trying to take credit for the work of others.
Forget EU .. and read up on what the guys doing the real research are saying. That is worthwhile ... & interesting !

Cheers

Maybe that should be rewritten to say "EU Loony Theories"

Those EU guys got it all wrong (again). It is a well known fact there is a termite problem on the moon... hence all those little holes.

Yeah, I called the pest guys, but they said they couldn't get up there for at least the next 20 years!!!

Thanks heaps guys!
I just get my back up when i hear this sort of tripe, and even the Apollo hoax theorists, especially when the public start into this area where they believe everything they see on TV!

Bruce Springsteen was right when he wrote "we learned more from a 3 minute record than we ever learned in school"

Some people..........

The above statement is perfectly true. So I therefore suggest that the best way to deal with fools is to simply ignore them when they make their ridiculous claims here.

As I tell me 8 year old, when your older brother baits you, if you just ignore him he will get bored. But when you bite back, that is what he wants and he will keep coming back for more.

Remember, these people are incapable of being "converted".

Just my thought
