He'd definitely feel the difference...

You mean the red-flashy thingie?

[Izzy Dunne]

Three years after the tether incident, he announced that space mission STS-96 was being launched at the precise time when the star system Sirius was 33.33 degrees from Cape Canaveral. Well, the founding fathers who wrote the United States Constitution were all highest-degree Masons, and the number 33.33 is the highest symbol of enlightenment in Masonic wisdom. So I do not believe this timing could have been a coincidence. I believe NASA was using this type of communication literally to tell the star system Sirius that we understand who they are.

Lemme get this straight - the founding fathers were ALL masons, so NASA was sending a message to another star.
In order to receive this "message", the Sirians would have to know not only when the shuttle was launched, but FROM WHAT POINT ON EARTH (since the angle is not 33.33 degrees from everywhere on Earth).
You cannot be Sirius.

Move over, Art Bell.

We've gotta get this one a new iterociter, too!

In one case, which is recorded on film, he pulsates a 75-pound steel cannonball with very low frequency Vandegraff waves and then medium-high-frequency radio waves and ultra-high radio waves — and the cannon ball levitates!

Where exactly is this film, I wonder?

A trillion electron-volts (eV) or 1x 10 to the 12th power (1E+12) is equal to 4.4504903611e-14 kilowatt-hours. That is a minus sign in front of the 14 so this is much less than one KwHr by a long shot. A kilowatt hour is the energy used to run a 100w light bulb for 10 hours. So, learning Physics from a business point of view does not learn you a lot of Physics.

"I love the sound of beta decay in the morning!"

Because it smells like victory! (In the vicinity of Pyongyang)

I could live with that!

Actually beta decay is what you use for radiocarbon dating, which I do a lot of in my work (archaeology). But I see you guessed where I stole the line from...

A gazillion is a jillion with an extra 0 at the end.

Pseudoscience ping!

Dear brain,
While this may interest some, it has very little to do with the conservative cause. Actually nothing. Compound that with the fact that many FRiends here do not take well to demands or orders to watch something of dubious origin, and it could appear that you are a "troll". Just sayin'

"Isn't the nature of a nuclear reaction, whether fission or fusion, the release of energy in the form of radiation be it alpha, beta, or gamma."

I don't know about fusion, but the vast majority of energy released from a fission reaction is in the form of kinetic energy of the fission fragments (the two new elements). The rest of the energy is radiation in the form of decay neutrinos, decay gammas, decay betas, prompt gammas and prompt betas.

[Army Air Corps]

Well, it IS one of my favourite lines from films.

'I worked on environmental issues most of my life'

This explains Al Gore's movie....

[Izzy Dunne]

these cameras can see into the near ultraviolet, which is almost a whole bandwidth higher than the human eye can see.

I'm sorry, folks, but my crap detector overloaded on this one.

"a whole bandwidth higher" ???

[stands2reason]

I'm just here for the Freeper posts...

[Izzy Dunne]

beta decay is what you use for radiocarbon dating

"radio-carbon dating" - is that better than movie-dinner dating, or what?

[CedarDave]

From his biography on the link:

David's interest in space, religion, philosophy, astronomy, and science led him on his career in related fields. He has worked deeply in high technology, on environmental and humanitarian issues, and also as a professional photographer. Sereda has personally planted over a million trees in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, and is an environmental scientist of world repute.

I think he's planted a few too many trees. Are we sure they weren't cannabis plants?

[stands2reason]

That is, the rest of the posts in the thread. :-)

This has UFO's, Masons, and cheap fusion! It's a threefer!

[Army Air Corps]

Well, this seems to imply that there is a way to have a fusion recation without radiation. Wouldn't mean fusion with any mass being converted to energy?

[Izzy Dunne]

very low frequency Vandegraff waves

There's no such thing!

A Van de Graaf generator produces static electricity.

[TASMANIANRED]

Since you vouched, I'll give it another try.
