A Step Farther Out
“I know that doesn't surprise most of the readers of this book, so let's look at some far-out theories before the relentless march of science catches up and converts them into (yawn) just more engineering.There's also a point to be made. At least once a week I get a new "theory" from one of my readers. Sometimes it's blueprints for a device that gives out more energy than it takes in, sometimes it's a refutation of Einstein, sometimes something else, but in nearly every case there's a common factor: the cover letter says no one will listen, and I'm the inventor's last resort. Generally, too, I'm asked "Why won't they listen?" but the question is rhetorical; the next paragraph tells me that orthodox scientists do not have open minds, are afraid of new ideas, etc., etc.There's a little truth to that, but not so much as is often supposed. Orthodox science can get pretty far out.Everyone knows what a neutron star is, right? A sort of intermediary superheavy object: that is, squeeze atoms h...ard enough but not too hard and they'll form a super-dense goop.MoreLess
