OK. This is total fantasy Another industry that would be revolutionized by Trump’s Secret Memorandum is the energy sector. Declassifying free energy inventions would revolutionize the automotive and aviation industries, and make it easier for private industries such as SpaceX to develop far more efficient and advanced space propulsion technologies.

Every competent physicist and engineer will tell you that there are no such things. And for all the reasons that anyone learns in freshmen college physics, engineering, or thermodynamics. God created certain inviolable physical laws. Conservation of energy is one. The inevitable increase in entropy (heat flows from hot to cold) is the second. Conservation of momentum is another. You cannot push a rocket forward except to the extent you expel hot exhaust out the back.

The attack on Secrecy orders comes from two places - those who want access to genuinely classified technology, and patent trolls, those who want to try to claim intellectual property rights to stuff that was actually invented by the government or under government contract and for which those patent trolls have not rights.

Don't fall for it. It is utter BS.

Time will tell.

However, I note that you, in your great wisdom and knowledge, are absolutely convinced that YOU know infinitely more than

BEN RICH--retiring head of Lockheed Skunk Works--the shop that built the SR71.

Naw, It's impossible that he knew more about such things than you do. He must have gotten his advanced degrees in physics etc. out of a Cracker Jacks box.

And when he said that there was an error in Einstein's equations, he must have been lying through his teeth. Obviously.

thermodynamics:

1. you can’t win, you can only break even.
2. you can only break even at absolute zero.
3. you can’t reach absolute zero.
