If you have both cooling and warming, how do you have a residual?
If I have both, I win either way!
Sorry, I made a mistake on the instructions, that should read, attach to the cats back, buttered side up.
That is simply not a true statement.
Curving space will affect local gravity if it can it be done. If it can then one can assume that energy will be expended in the process. If the kinetic energy and potential energy gained by the spacecraft is equal to or less than the energy expended in curving space then there is no violation of the conservation of energy law.
OTOH, curving space would be quite a trick. My guess is that the science is good but the acceleration that can be practically achieved in in the range of .00000000000000001 ft/sec or some-such. It just can't be practical to expend enough energy to do the same job that it takes the total mass of the earth to accomplish.
"From what I read, he managed to modify the forward deflector array to emit a tachyon pulse, and realigned the phase inducers in parallel to produce endothermic propulsion."
I love it. Star Trek technology becomes more of a reality every year now. I sure wish I could live 200-300 more years to see the colonization of space begin.
I don't know, but I'm reserving a trade-name for a chain of instant weight loss centers.
Well alrighty then. Let's run that anti-gravity patent up the flagpole and see who salutes.
I think the patent office shold be scrapped in it's present form.
It should just be a place to register your ideas and the tie and date noted.
If two people think of the same thing, then the first one to register it wins. BOTH should not have to submit complex plans and do lengthy and costly patent search before one of them is prevented from patenting something.
This takes the decision out of the patent office and puts it in the court, where it shold be.
Why does the patent office decide if your idea is good enough?
Register enything and everything- then you bear the cost of defending it to the public yourself.
I bet he stole that idea from star trek!
Does it run on Dilithium Crystals?

Good idea. That would make the PTO more like the recorders office. Will it put lawyers out of work? I see Gummint agencies going crazy trying to regulate anything, and I see lawyers with more work than they know what to do with.
