(snip) You'd have top admit that Kari would be a lot more pleasant to
verify these claims with than most of us here......

If we could only get Kari Byron to do the show wearing a thong bikini. In
fact, all of the shows could be improved in a similar manner.

No you have me all distracted, Ed. She's so darn cute in jeans and a
T-shirt (and no make up to boot) that the idea of.... never mind... let's
get back to the subject at hand.


I would think that lots of new approaches in science began as
"alternative science/pseudo science" ideas. No, I can't name one instance
off the top of my head. Those instances are missing along with most of my
hair, a good portion of my previous superior cognitive abilities and
short term memories.

Some of the younger folks' minds have been prepared for the acceptance of
dimensional additions to our present paradym of physical reality. I agree
(or hope) that soon, other quantifiable aspects of additional dimensions
will pop into our reality. It would be interesting to play with the
effects of hyperdimensional physics in regard to our antennas. But, at
the moment, at least for we old fogies, we are stuck with playing within
the current four dimensions.


I think that we would be stupid indeed to believe that "Its all known". I
personally believe that we'll be bending space and zipping off to the
galaxies(will that get us away from reality tv?) at superluminal "speed"
in the future. Who knows, we may even become immortal some day.

The skeptics have been wrong in the past. History is littered with them.

But, and this is very important, to pop that old chestnut in the campfire
as some sort of invalidation of the skeptics is not only a non-sequitar,
but really bad logic.

It does not follow that Art's antenna works because the Catholic church
persecuted Galileo, and was proven wrong.

His works have to stand on their own merit, not Galileo's.

I have great difficulty following what he writes. It is possible that I am
hopelessly dull, but I don't have that trouble with very many people.

Attempts at getting clarity have usually been met with his belief that if
you don't get it right away, you have to "go back to school, or remarks
similar.

What I have been able to garner of his theory of operation seems to be
that electrons, or particles or something, is jumping off the antenna into
the "aether", or something like that (zero point energy? quantum matter
pops? dark matter? cosmic Vicks Vap-O-Rub?) I dunno for sure - as I is a
dull boy sometimes...

I cannot argue with your point of view, Mike. We must stick with real
science and what has been proven when it comes to performing professionally.

However, being somewhat of a conjurer/writer of fiction, I like to permit
myself to venture from the accepted path from time to time. I suspect that
many scientific breakthroughs have been seeded and brought to fruition over
the centuries in much the same way.

I am not defending the OP's position. That is his job, not mine.
