Eccentric Genius Ping (and Pong)!
To: WestVirginiaRebel
His spatial relativity theory involves the String Theory, the Big Bang theory, quotes from Albert Einstein and something Boyd calls the "elemental particle." It is, he contends, the smallest possible piece of physical matter in the physical universe. He claims that if he could break down space into these basic particles, they could be used for electricity.
Okie-dokey. How much energy would it take to break "space" down into the "elemental particle"? Or are we just blathering?

Space is linked with time. You would have to break down time to truly break down space. This is going to be difficult because we don't have a clear understanding of time.

It seems to me we don't have a clear understanding of time, space, or matter.

There should be a "String Bikini" theory.

This is good, because I didn't have enough things to dream of doing
with both Anna and Maria. Now I can add this menage a pong . . . |

I think it was Oahu. He moved there right after discharge from the Navy. He also lived there when his dad was stationed there in the Army.

Hubs said it was expensive and he worked two jobs. Talked about flipping steaks at Woolworths and how the Japanese would always come in and buy them. We thought it was stupid buying steaks at Woolworths!

They've got a lot of money over there. Pay is real good, jobs are plentiful, but costs are even higher.
Tell him we stayed at Bellows AFS when we were there. Heaven.

Maybe we could get world leaders to play and the losers have to resign from the UN.

invented a type of three-player ping pong, he's come up with a special relativity theory and even made a remote control flying toy
But wait thats not all you also get these ginsu knives.

Inventor creates ping pong for three
by Karin Stanton
Pioneer Times Journal
His spatial relativity theory involves the String Theory, the Big Bang theory, quotes from Albert Einstein and something Boyd calls the "elemental particle." It is, he contends, the smallest possible piece of physical matter in the physical universe.
Now, he just needs to prove his theory.
"Its an equilateral tetrahedron and its really all about shape," he said. "This isnt like the String Theory; thats philosophy," he said. "You cannot divide physical matter to infinity. You just cannot. Otherwise you dont have an assembly process."
Five elemental particles combine to form one electron, Boyd said.
Boyd is seeking investors to build a prototype spatial energy converter to test his theory, which he said could have energy, medical and military-industrial applications.
"This should be easy to disprove," he said, "But if we are correct, weve revolutionized physics and the electric grid as we know it wont be needed anymore."
At the very least, good for a chuckle.
