Title: Primer Fields
Post by: buckethead on April 28, 2013, 04:07:34 PM
Am I getting spoofed by another polished YouTube trolling campaign or is this the stuff of real science? It seems plausible enough to me.

Watching this video (I'm only through part one) you will hear the suggestion that we can't see black holes because they don't exist, and that dark matter and dark energy theories are bunk; contrived because we misunderstand the geometrics of magnetic fields.

I'm just smart enough to tie my shoes.

Would love some imput from others.

If anyone feels like embedding this beauty, I would be grateful.

I should add that the narrator claims clean, cheap and safe electricity will be one of the many benefits of this new tech. He gives projected dates of this year.

I know that black holes have been observed from x-rays emitted by superheated material making its way into the black hole. Look up the Chandra x-ray observatory for more information.

The existence of dark energy is widely accepted by the physics community and inferred from investigation of cosmic microwave background radiation. For much more reputable analysis/repudiation of dark energy, see http://www.economist.com/node/2404626

This youtube pseudoscience can be quickly rejected with a simple google search. With how complex physics resarch has become, I would be very very dubious of theories posited and spread well outside the aegis of academia.

Anyone curious about a hot new "free energy" theory should realize that very many such theories have been proposed in the past, and without exception they've been false, and usually outright frauds. I can't find anything to suggest this is the one that will be different. It looks to be very much in the storied tradition of Orgone, Vril, and the water-powered car.

Agreed guys. I did a bit of googling (it tickled) after watching this unfinished series. I found absolutely nothing to corroborate a single point made in the yootoob videos. So I guess I got Rick roll'd.

All that embedding for nothing...  ;)
