All hail The String!

KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii (AP)-Secil Boyd keeps dreaming up new ideas from remote control flying gadgets to new table games and even space-matter theories. "My mind doesn't seem to turn off so easily," the 53-year-old inventor joked at his Holualoa art gallery.
Boyd has 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 out of a Christmas gift from his daughter.

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?
Philosophy? I always thought it was more like a religion.
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.

All hail The String!
To heck with ping pong, this is where my son Will lives!
Thanks for the ping! My hubs lived in HA for a total of 8 years.
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 . . . |

Really? where? Oahu? In the military?
We miss you, btw.
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.
Son (about to be 20) lives on the Big Island, brings home big bucks, company car, phone. HellOOOO he's living MY dream life! What is with that???? 
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!
Ping-pong-ping?
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.
At the very least, good for a chuckle.Inventor creates ping pong for threeHis 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.
"It‘s an equilateral tetrahedron and it‘s really all about shape," he said. "This isn‘t like the String Theory; that‘s philosophy," he said. "You cannot divide physical matter to infinity. You just cannot. Otherwise you don‘t 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, we‘ve revolutionized physics and the electric grid as we know it won‘t be needed anymore."
