In 1507 anyone trying to develop electricity would have been called a fool. For hundreds of years, people saying that would have appeared to be right.

One day someone will make a simple discovery that will turn what we think today on it’s head too.

I agree with you! The Royal Society said an incandescent light bulb was impossible, and everyone knows that a bumblebee's lift-to-weight and drag ratio shows it cannot fly.

Surely there will be discoveries that cause us to rethinks some basic assumptions.

It is just that this experiment is not it.

As I said in one of my earlier posts, 99.99% of the time you folks are going to be right. But you simply cannot definitively say that something doesn’t work until you have seen the device and made your own assessment.

At this point, you are making nothing more than an educated guess. And whether it’s an educated guess or not, it’s still a guess.

Thanks for the response.

Let me be clear about something. I don’t think it works either. That being said, I’m not going to definitively say that it doesn’t or can’t.
