We've quoted Scott Adams and his creations here before.

I particularly like Dogbert's saying that he had wondered about the meaning of life ... so he looked it up.


In the Dictionary! ... "Somehow it was less than I expected." He said.

-- Actually, we've had to rebuild the castle. When we realized that we were approaching the end of the internet for the first time, I made arrangements to lift the castle grounds and all its contents with some extremely large hot-air balloons, and some very powerful turbo-jet engines. We moved it initially to Loch Ness, and did a little tour of the neighborhood. (We stocked up on beer in the process!)

Then we flew over the North Pole and stopped for a while in Kauai. We began some of our engine modifications there, developing a way to extract a Useful element from seawater so that we could build a large number of Gas-Cooled Nuclear Reactor/Rocket Engines.

We then moved the "Flying Castle" to Eniwetak Atoll, so that we could finish up the Useful element extraction, and link up with our other pods.

We've disposed of the turbo-jet engines, and other stuff, and made arrangements to transport into space some science cargo for those who have trouble getting it up.

As soon as everything is completely put together, we'll move into Earth orbit, and then to Lunar orbit, and finally on to Mars!

Moving that kind of mass into orbit and beyond will require immense energy. You may have to transcend conventional Electromagnetic Theory to do it. Take heart, however, the proposition has been made that imposing the Lorentz Transform on the original Maxwellian equation set has left our (vintage 1876) EM model bereft of some very critical elements; elements that would provide explanations of phenomenae that defy our present ideas.

Here's a little "light reading" to introduce some seminal ideas on a non-traditional energy source.

Also, you may want to peruse this library of documentation of successful overunity devices and processes.
