Some say that some psychics could tune in to the mental/emotional content registered in the astral regions of that period and see things that actually happened. Things that were similar to what is happening today. I don't understand how they do that, but I guess one could say, what goes around, comes around.
psychic vs physics? Well, I began a series of invention concepts by asking myself : now just how does the eggbeater windmill work? Do you know?
Anyway, that answer led to wings, something like that old fashioned lawn mower wing invented in england, only w/rubber belts and magnetically repelled wires. Final concept in the series was an involuting/evoluting torus, your doughnut stretched out.
Then I discovered that an israeli had already patented the concept. Funny, our longitudinal cross sections for the end wheels were exactly identical; it’s called convergent evolution. BUT, he only thought of air-lev for the skin, I had mag-lev from the beginning(for the rubber skin), and as an underwater towed barge, say as an oil tanker(with towing belts).
This scott skin sub has both particle and wave aspects to fulfill the principle of complementarity. Top speed : mach 4.3, underwater. But sigh, this was back in the late 1970s, 30 years ago now; and nobody listened, nobody cared. They care even less to what this old fart has to say now... Never heard of Bentov...see what I mean?
