>>I agree with many of you about being a skeptic, but a closed mind atrophies<<
It depends on what you are being skeptical about.
If people are saying that research to see if the extra cost can be minimized so that hydrogen can be used as a fuel since it burns cleanly while the electricity it will cost is not so suitable for cars - they then that is too skeptical. Hydrogen research is a reasonable field and it will cost more energy than it produces but if that cost can be minimized then it may still be useful.
But, if people are being skeptical that someone is going to mechanically violate conservation of energy then that is justifiable skepticism. There is no point in wasting time or money evaluating that kind of claim.
My previous email was not specifically directed toward you. It’s just that your email was the last one I read prior to hitting “post reply.”
If we can find a catalyst, just as enzymes work in the body to allow chemical reactions without the otherwise required conditions, possibly a transformation of the stored energy in H2O can be released. I agree with the laws of thermodynamics. But I also believe in gravity. The old theory that the earth had to be flat or people would fall off, just doesn’t hold water. We tend to be too limited in our perspective and need to think outside the box.
My work in the field of cognitive neuroscience gets me in the same predicament. My research is focused in wave theory as a consciousness field around the human body, specifically as it relates to memory storage and retrieval. When I do demonstrations, people call me a mystic as they think it is beyond science. But they see the results with their own eyes. To me, a miracle is merely science we don’t understand yet. Science is the process of understanding God. Focusing on God is like climbing a fire tower to see the forest. Our perspective is so much greater the higher we go.
