TTI is once again DEAD

I'm still lurking around Timelord. But not for long. It seems as if I may have stumbled across some useful information that may be helpful in developing a time machine. The little tidbit of information was the discovery that Mass is just an assumption.

Great. Care to go into more detail?
 
I come to the site everyday to check and see if anyone posted. I might wake up someday and decide to add something special to the punchbowl but in the meantime, I'm just lurking like a beast hiding in the shadows waiting for that right time.

Sure, one step forward, two steps back, is the path that seems to produce results. I was thinking about Newton's force equation one day and it occurred to me that there must have been something else present before Newton came along. Probably just the basic observations. So I decided to write down the basic gravitational observations as I see them.

1. An object in freefall in the absence of air will accelerate toward the earth in a weightless condition.
2. An object on the surface of the earth exhibits the property of weight in the downward direction with no apparent acceleration whatsoever.
3. An object undergoing rotation experiences the property of weight in the outward direction.

These observations are all facts unless your name is RainmanTime, he would most likely consider them to be hallucinations.

I couldn't help but notice that gravitational weight is in the opposite direction to rotational weight. Kind of like positive and negative weight. And when you combine the two types of weight in equal proportions, such as an object in orbit about the earth, you achieve a weightless state.

The trouble came when I tried to apply Newtons force equation to the observations. Force = Mass times Acceleration or F=MA. You see force is also equivalently defined to be equal to weight. So weight or W=MA=F. But an object on the surface of the earth has weight with no measurable acceleration. That fact is not congruent with Newtons force equation. So we are taught in school that an acceleration is present. That would be an assumption. A necessary assumption if the concept of mass was to replace the facts. The Laws of Physics. Nope. More aptly described as The Assumptions of Physics. But I was curious to find out how the concept of Mass originated. No one knows. It's a mystery. Almost as if it was planted in the minds of men to steer them away from the facts.

By the way, I have two experimental machines in my lab that produce both kinds of weight. It just never occurred to me that I should be combining the two machines into one to produce a weightless state.
 
Well I'd be interested in seeing pics of your experimental machines. :D

As far as the official viewpoint on force, acceleration, & mass, I can give the official explanation. Generally speaking, any number of forces may act on an object, and these forces add together as vectors, and only the sum of these forces produces the final result we observe. In the case of an object sitting on the ground, the downward force F = mg is perfectly balanced by the upward force F = -mg because the ground pushes up on the object. So the total, final force vector is F = mg - mg = 0, a zero acceleration. I'm sure you've heard all this before, but there it is anyway. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

As far as mass goes, well... There's a definition, but it doesn't say *why* it happens. Just that it does (that mass resists a change in acceleration). I have an idea why it does though.
 
I'm well schooled in the concept of mass. It was only recently that I realized that mass doesn't adequately describe the observations. You can have positive and negative weight. But nowhere is mass ever described as being negative in value. Weight can be zero while accelerating. The observations show us that. But we are taught that mass never goes to zero. It's starting to look like it's all B.S.

As for pics. You can find them on this site in previous threads. My Lorentz force generator produces a repulsive type of force which repels metal conductors. I'm suspecting that this repulsive force is actually centrifugal force. Or the type of weight that points in the opposite direction of gravitational weight. It's funny too that my instructor taught me that Lorentz originally had a centrifugal force term in his Lorentz force equation. But nobody could figure out why he put it there. So it was removed.

My tesla coil experiments show a gravity like force of attraction when I attached a bismuth disk to the output electrode on the secondary of the tesla coil. I posted videos of that. I'm suspecting that this is producing the inward gravitational type of weight.

Now here is were it gets interesting. If I put the two types of weight together, they should cancel. But there is still a high strength magnetic field and a high strength electric field present. There are 16 different configurations to try. The question that comes to my mind is: How will the electric and magnetic fields interact with a body that has no weight?
 
All, please keep in mind this BBS is a beacon. There may not be a post for 20 yrs, yet it could still serve its purpose.
 
This bbs is communication hub. That is its purpose. Everything else is just camouflage. If X needs to tell Y something but X and Y are not in the same time, then this site works within a certain frame period. Once Y receives information and responds to X if need be, a record of X's original post need not exist anymore. The majority of posts and comments are by people interested in TT, but not involved in TT. This acts as the perfect screen, while allowing the original purpose to be broadcast over the internet.

It really works quite well actually.

A perfect screen for what? If they want secure communication and also want to use the Internet for that communication they could use Drop Box with infinitely more security - absolutely private, encrypted, password protected, no IP trace and completely off the boards from search engines, spiders and crawlers.

All that technological "advancement" and they even can't figure out the Internet. But I suspect that our future brothers and sisters who run these time travel programs get their "chrononauts" by scouring the local psych units for a certain breed of schizophrenic, which tends to explain some of the lack of talent and rambling, unintelligible posts. The upside for the researchers, I suppose, is that they already view their chrononauts as expendible. so failures in the talent pool are otherwise inconsequential.
 
Dropbox has only existed since 2007, whereas this forum has existed far longer. Also, Dropbox is suspected to be run by the NSA. But I think you know that.
 
The benefit of a public, non-secured forum such as TTI is that one can anonymously contact another in the privacy of being one crackpot in the whole world wide web. Its like wandering around in a post apocalyptic world. Do you dress in camo and carry your guns at your side attracting attention? Or do you dress like an old man in a shaggy blanket concealing your M240 grenade launcher?

Personally, I would use this to give someone half of the information they needed, knowing that the other half would only be known by those who had the key information to begin with. That way, there is no need for cryptics and it would not be possible for anyone on the internet to crack the code, so to speak, and get sensitive information. Of course, if I wanted to reach out to some people, then I;d leave cryptic messages that were tailored to be deciphered by those who were my target audience.

...just say;n.

And that would be a problem for a time traveler? /ttiforum/images/graemlins/confused.gif

And I suspect that it is suspected by the same people that suspect that this site is also run by the NSA. The suspicion neither validates the assertion nor offers any evidence that it might be the case.

Go for the camos.

You've already stated that it is a post apocolyptic world. That there would be JAG officers policing the battlefield for rules of engagement violations isn't likely.

Unidentified shaggy old man in a cerape - potential threat. Unidentified man in camos - potential threat. (JAG Officer policing the battlefield for ROE violations - definite threat). Weapons free - engage at will.

No one is going to wait to see what's under the blanket or behind the camos. The camos will at least offer some conceilment in the proper environment.
