stupid Columbus and his company of quack sailors!!!
A key part of the scientific process is repeatability. Many people, including myself, have verified the roundness of the Earth since Columbus.
The Hutchison effect however (sorry.. 'effect
s') have not been repeatable for several years, since the infamous 'doctor' was never able to demonstrate his observed phenomena in public.
Oh, i mean, he did levitate a table and make some goo fall upwards
on video back in 1981, but has never once ever been able to demonstrate this to an audience. By his own admission he is not able to repeat it on video or elsewise, at all, anymore in 2006. Nor is he able to offer any explanation for how this happened. Yet, he was nonetheless able to do it with spare parts.
He also seems a bit schizophrenic.
But then of course there is this company 'American Antigravity', which, in the first 20 minutes of its presentation couldn't make it clear whether they are a media company or an antigratiy company -- but anyways they display a few of Hutchison's videos.
I suggest you go to their flashy website, purchase their videos which explain antigravity in vivd detail. Give it a watch, and then come back here and comment on their business model.
You can also purchase their holiday gift guide, and advertising space on their portal page, in case antigravity isn't holding your interest (AdRiAn? eh? eh?)
Anyways, to Peej, NemIsis, I recommend a wicked book called "the demon haunted world" by someone who knows both real fiction and real science, Carl Sagan.
