Projecting Forward on Appleby's "An Impossible World?", Another Submission, Another Rejection Letter From A Publisher: Unfortunately, we will have to pass on your story. Your energy plot is sooooo implausible that even our loony toons readership segment gave us a blank, confounded stare. Furthermore, the scenario that university PhD's planet wide, for 100 years, stayed uninformed of the fourth grade concept of the radius of curvature of all natural law, defined by the speed of light C in E=MC2, portrays psychological illusional magic of a planet population belief-behavior shaping beyond the scope of believable. More specifically unbelievable in lieu of your referencing the half understood zero point, Tesla, electrogravitics, cold fusion and countless other "over-unity" concepts, all which are far more easily defined, designed, and precisely engineered with the radius of curvature fundamental - light - which also is our ability to see and correctly interpret Reality. Your references that crystal properties, the transformation of one form of energy into another - crystal radios, microphones, ultrasonic drills - were in application without the comprehension that the basic factors of nature -space time mass matter energy gravity - were not absolute, but variable factors, each dependent upon the value of the others is NOT possible (Bermuda Triangle, "beam me aboard Scotty", the quantity C is the measure of the radius of curvature of natural law, the factor which enables us to determine precisely the degree of change in the curvature of one law which will be brought about by a specified change in the application of the others). To date, nowhere in the billions of galaxies, each with their billions of stars where we have explored intelligent life, has something like this in the energy arena been observed - and this is without consideration of the deadly effects 100 years of energy stagnation would have on a planet population causing starvation, poverty, disease, water crisis, resource wars, ecological damage, global warming to name a few.









Cold Fusion: Still Cold, or Is There New Promise?
Navy Researchers Report Tentative Clues; Others Doubtful
By NED POTTER

Two decades ago, B. Stanley Pons left, and Martin Fleischmann, displayed a large-scale model of the flask in which they said they created sustained nuclear fusion reactions at room temperature. But their results later were dismissed by other scientists. Nuclear fusion normally takes place in extremely hot conditions and is the process that powers the sun, photographed, at right, on Monday, April 7, 1997 by the Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) on board the joint European Space Agency-NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).
Cold fusion? Limitless energy on a table top? Wait a minute. Wasn't that discredited 20 years ago?
It was, in fact, 20 years ago last month that two scientists, Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons, announced they had created nuclear fusion at room temperature. They created the popular equivalent of an H-bomb explosion -- an explosion that quickly was snuffed out when other scientists said no fusion had taken place.
But a few researchers continue to work on it.
A team of researchers, led by Pamela Boss of the U.S. Navy and Lawrence Forsley of the technology firm JWK International, reported evidence that they have seen high-energy neutrons, a possible side effect of nuclear fusion, in a laboratory experiment.
'Low Energy Nuclear Reactions'
The team published its findings in a German physics journal, and presented them at a meeting of the American Chemical Society -- 20 years to the day after Fleischmann and Pons made their announcement.
"I am confident we are seeing nuclear reactions," said Forsley by telephone from San Diego, where he now does much of his work in collaboration with the Navy. "We're seeing conventional nuclear reactions in an unconventional place."
A small New Jersey firm, Energetics, also has been trying to make cold fusion reactions at its laboratory in Israel. A former surgeon, Irving Dardik, heads the effort, and has generated enough buzz (if not electricity) to be featured this weekend in a "60 Minutes" piece.
Nuclear fusion is a high-energy process -- it's the reaction that powers the sun. The sun is so hot, and there are such pressures beneath its roiling surface, that hydrogen atoms collide, or "fuse," to make helium atoms plus tremendous amounts of heat and light.
Fusion has been replicated on Earth, but only violently -- in the form of a hydrogen bomb. (It is the opposite, by the way, of the fission that happens in an atom bomb or nuclear power plant, where atoms are split to make energy.)
Cold Fusion: Getting Warmer?
If nuclear fusion could be harnessed for peaceful purposes, scientists believe, it would solve many of the world's energy problems.
They have worked at it for decades, without success. They have built large, complex, expensive devices in the laboratory to mimic the reactions that happen inside the sun. They did create tiny reactions for tiny fractions of a second, but nothing remotely practical.
Budget cuts brought much of the work to a stop, and the 1989 debacle scared many researchers away.
'It's Still Cold'
Bob Park, a physicist at the University of Maryland who has spent much of his career warning against junk science, said he was surprised cold fusion got a hearing at the American Chemical Society meeting.
"Twenty years later, it's still cold," he wrote.
But it is not the same as it was when the subject first exploded publicly in 1989.
"These people, at least some of them, look in ever greater detail where others have not bothered to look," wrote Park. "They say they find great mysteries, and perhaps they do. Is it important? I doubt it. But I think it's science."
Forsley, for one, said he's flattered that Park gave him and his colleagues as much credit as he did.
"We've got a mechanism here," he said. "Nobody's been busting us about it.
"The story is just beginning," he added. "Let's put it that way."

Just looking at your transportation segment smacks of the so impossible, that we cannot even fit it into the "fiction/science fiction/horror category. Common sense dictates to all intelligent life forms that as wholistic systems grow in complexity, they become more energy intensive and must evolve their energy base and expand their energy comprehension. This includes the transportation sector, especially goods distribution to "Point to Point, without going through all points in between" (Bermuda Triangle, "beam me aboard Scotty").

John Stossel: Billions of Tax Dollars on Roads? That's 'Bull'
A Challenge to the U.S. Government: Consider Private Road-Building Companies
By JOHN STOSSEL March 12, 2009—
It's part of the stimulus plan. The government has announced it's going to spend billions of your dollars on building new roads, and fixing old ones. They say they'll do it efficiently. I say, bull.
Some people call the traffic jam on the way to work & driving into hell.
Tune in March 13 for a special hour with John Stossel: "Bailouts and Bull."
Joseph Woo of Atlanta told us he has the most miserable commute in America.
The Texas Transportation Institute, a research division of Texas A&M, says Atlanta is America's second-most-congested city.
"You plan your day around traffic," Woo said. "Because you never know if there's going to be traffic or not. You have to leave an hour and 15 minutes in advance. This is why I don't drink coffee. If I drank coffee, my head would probably explode!"
Reason TV host Drew Carey went on radio station KFI AM 640 to search for the person with the worst commute in Los Angeles, the most congested city in America.
"Traffic goes all the way back in each direction blocks and blocks. There's no end in sight to it," he said on the radio. "And like a lot of places in America, it's only going to get worse."
In 2007, the Texas Transportation Institute found that traffic jams caused the average commuter to spend an extra 38 hours on the road and, according to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau (2003), the average commute takes 25 minutes.
Research by the Reason Foundation suggests that in 20 years, 29 cities will be as bad as Los Angeles.
Frustrated With the Government
We teamed up with Carey because he and Reason TV are frustrated with big government bull and they're searching for other ways to get things done, things like improving our daily commute. Carey and Reason TV eventually decided Los Angeles' most frustrated commuter is graphic artist Josh Lipking.
Every day Lipking checks out Sigalert and Google traffic before kissing his wife good-bye and driving into what Carey calls "hell."
Lipking says he "starts to sweat a little," his heart pumping as he tries to make the most of the time he spends in traffic. He's become proficient at flossing with one hand.
Josh lives only 16 miles from work but it often takes him an hour and a half to get to the office.
But what if his commute (and yours) didn't have to be this bad? What if someone wanted to add some lanes to this road, or build an entirely new road?
Private road builders are doing this kind of work across the world, such as the double-decker underground highway in Paris, complete with 350 cameras watching for traffic delays or accidents. Any incident is detected in less than 10 seconds. Once the camera detects a problem authorities rush to tow the obstacle away so traffic keeps moving.
Private Road-Builders Offer Solutions
They do the same thing in California, too, on at least one road: Highway 91. Instead of building a brand-new road, they added two lanes in the middle of an existing highway. Drivers can choose to use them, or not.
If you want to go this fast, you have to pay. Different amounts depending on the time of day. Sometimes $1.50, sometimes $9. But by paying you save time. Traffic moves. And for some people, time is money.
Were these traffic speeding innovations created by government road-builders? No. They were created and paid for by private road-builders.
Their success has made politicians from other states want to try leasing roads. Mayor Richard Daley did that with the Chicago Skyway. Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels leased the Indiana toll road to a private company. He got back billions for his taxpayers.
"We received $4 billion, free and clear, no taxes, no debt left to our kids," Daniels said during our interview in January about the lease agreement signed in 2006.
It sounds like a good idea to me. But most people can't even imagine the idea of leasing out one of their roads to a private company.
Politicians Who Want to Use Your Tax Money for Roads
When Florida considered leasing one of its roads, protesters complained and politicians ran from the deal. The governor of New Jersey gave up too, and a private highway idea is dying in Pennsylvania and dead in Texas.
Now billions in stimulus spending is supposed to fix-up decrepit, congested roads. Why is Washington rushing in to do something that private companies do better and pay for the privilege?
Rep. Peter Defazio, an Oregon Democrat, is one of many who oppose leasing public roads to private companies. He says what Gov. Daniels did is wrong.
"Privatizing existing taxpayer infrastructure is not a solution for anybody," Defazio told '20/20.' "Money that the people of Indiana could have had in the future is going to go to a private company."
When we later interviewed Daniels, he wanted to know, "What money?"
"The toll road was losing money," he said.
And if you couldn't make money running the toll road, how can this private company do it?
"Your first insurance that they're gonna run a better road than the politicians did is, if they don't, people won't drive on it and they'll lose a lot of money. They have every incentive to make traffic flow swiftly, to make that drive as pleasant and safe as possible," Daniels said. Without that incentive, government bureaucracies often let highways fall into decay.
Defazio disagreed. "If you have toll roads, the [government] toll authority, if properly run, can meet all of those requirements," he argued.
But do they?
'It's a Monopoly'
"I can't account for the crummy government in Indiana or Pennsylvania," Defazio said. "[But] they could run them better. They could run them just as well as the private sector because the private sector runs it well and makes a profit."
Daniels disagrees. "Frankly when government runs things, it's a monopoly and it has no competition and there's no upside to doing a lot better job."
Government road building has created some of the biggest boondoggles of all time. The Big Dig in Boston took more than 10 years to complete and cost more than twice what it was supposed to cost. And the government contractor's work was so sloppy, part of it collapsed and killed a woman.
After part of the West Side Highway in New York collapsed, it took the city 16 years just to dismantle the old highway and another decade to rebuild it.
So why do so many people instinctively just say, you can't sell the public highways? "There are people frankly, in Congress, who can't abide the thought that you might be able to pay for something without going down there and kissing their ring for the money," Daniels explained.
But except for these few exceptions&private roads are mostly dead, because protesters and some politicians don't like it. Get ready to stay in traffic hell.

An Impossible World?

Arriving home from work, Appleby’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the return address on the mail his wife had left on the kitchen table-perhaps this time he’d be offered a sale for his curious brand of fiction.

Excitedly he tore it open:

Dear Mr. Appleby,

Thank you for your recent submission to Altair Space Monkey. Unfortunately, we will have to pass on your story.

For your further development, comments from reviewers are included below:

‘The entire premise of the story is that people could have an underlying predisposition to the pathological; i.e., a natural inclination to both superficialities and what might in more educated circles be politely referred to as a grotesque desire to dominate others. This is more than just a literary sleight of had – it is the crutch of absurdity. I would suggest that if the author’s intent is to merely shock, then the juvenile dime market might be more receptive of such efforts.’

And

‘In times past, before the sciences of evolution, sociology and psychology became as advanced as they are today, your story might have had a chance – a slim one to be sure, but it might have been offered a ‘revise and resubmit’. Nowadays, though, the readership of quality publications such as Altair Space Money has matured alongside scientific progress. Extrapolating from the known to the possible is fine, and indeed is the essence of good science fiction. But stories that leap from the possible to the most highly improbable do not engage our informed readers. Altair Space Monkey is a magazine of science fiction, not fantastic horror. The society described in your story would never progress beyond the Stone Age. Its people would rather spend their time gazing at their own images in rock pools than working together for any collective benefit. And if by some lucky spin of the cosmic roulette wheel they did produce more technology than just fire, such progress in science would surely be used in such adverse ways that the society you invented could never be achieved, let alone sustained. I would suggest that the author take the time to read an introductory test on evolutionary science.’

And finally…

In your poorly conceptualized story, you make reference to a so-called ‘modern,’ ‘technological’ society that features, among other silliness, more weapons, more wars of aggression, more pollution a steadily increasing number of working hours as well as increasing unemployment. Exactly how would that come about? You further suggest the citizens of this fantasy prefer to spend their time chasing rainbows in the form of some sort of never-ending cycle of conspicuous consumption. You even have the protagonist utter that he must continue to do so ‘just to keep up’…but who is it that these wretched souls are trying to keep up with? If everyone is buying the same things, then exactly how are they differentiated by what they own – anyone can just go out and buy more of the same, can’t they?

‘You also presuppose that no one in this society has access to universal power. That is, you seem to posit that none of the zero-point technologies we enjoy ever appeared anywhere-not even in a single garage workshop despite their simplicity-while billions in research dollars are being spent on ever-bigger Tokomaks, cyclotrons, and other preposterously grand curiosities! Why would resources be ploughed first into scientific realms that although arguably worthy of abstract attention, are unlikely to benefit the public on any tangible level? Who would allow such an illogical apportioning of resources? Or are you suggesting that they did develop practical alternative energy sources, but due to some strange hidden agenda, they were suppressed? Who would benefit from that? Again, such a society would very soon reach a ‘boiling point,’ a combined socio-economic-environmental crisis from which it might never recover.

‘Think about it” if this insane world of yours, with over six billion people I might add, all self-chained to the same consumerist treadmill (or aspiring to be!) had to depend upon fossilized hydrocarbons for the majority of their fuel needs, the biosphere they depend upon would be overwhelmed in a matter of decades. And please, in any future submissions, do not attempt to paint nuclear power as even a borderline possibility. The majority of our readership is not scientifically illiterate, and hence is unlikely to present a blind eye to that little problem of half-lives of nuclear waste products (the safe disposal of which you neglected to describe). Given the environmental and economic ludicrousness of such an obvious hazard, why would any ruling powers- secret or otherwise allow it? If this society were to collapse, as the sort you madly envision must, then what would such clandestine groups have left to rule over?

‘Finally, in such a psychologically and economically barren world, what space would there be for art, literature? For a family? The average person-what you call ‘consumers’-would be ground between the stone wheels of work and debt….’’’

Appleby scrunched the rejection letter, tossed it in the trashcan. His face twisted.

“What did those twits know?” he asked himself aloud. Deep down, though, he knew they were right-it was the fourth rejection slip he’d received for this story, and the feedback was always the same.

But his imagination refused to relax its iron grip: what if history had taken a sinister turn instead of a sensible one? What if darker forces drove peoples’ nature? He saw it still-any early world of resource scarcity, where some people-perhaps just one or two here and there-decided that is was better to look out for themselves first and worry about others later, and even then only if it was convenient, with a personal payoff. How might such individuals, who would surely grow in number given the starting conditions, evolve socially and continue to prosper?

Appleby’s mind soared across the millennia, to a society where self-interest and struggle for control of others was the norm, cooperation the deviation, where citizens competed for more baubles, more new shiny things to declare their status over their lesser brethren. Rats in cages, spending their pitiful lives dashing about on exercise wheels going nowhere, the sputtering candles burning low, while from the shadows darker powers watched in amusement.

It had to be possible.

Emboldened by his imagination, Appleby dashed of another submission letter.

Afterwards, as he sat sipping a coffee, his gaze drifted to the toaster-sized ZP inductor in the kitchen, and he thanked his lucky stars that he lived in a world where he never had to pay a power bill, where heating and cooling were free of energy costs, where is water was pure and veggies local and fresh, and where a four hour work day allowed him ample spare time to indulge in his writing fantasies.

Outside, the air was fresh and the streets clean. Everyone had a job, and in this world-the real world-there were no clandestine powers holding back progress. All received a fair share for their efforts.

For a moment, Appleby wondered that the citizens in the gloomy world imagined in his story might make of this one? Would they too consider it impossible? A utopian dream beyond their grasp?

He reached for his pen.

Sold Out: How Wall Street and Washington Betrayed America


(AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews)
A group called Wall Street Watch is out with a report that finds that “Wall Street investment firms, commercial banks, hedge funds, real estate companies and insurance conglomerates made $1.7 billion in political contributions and spent another $3.4 billion on lobbyists” between 1998 and 2008. The report, "Sold Out: How Wall Street and Washington Betrayed America," concludes that the contributions were “aimed at undercutting federal regulation” and ultimately “led directly to the current financial collapse.” The two men behind the report are California lawyer Harvey Rosenfield of the nonprofit Consumer Education Foundation and Robert Weissman of Essential Information, a Washington nonprofit “that seeks to curb excessive corporate power.” The report argues that the lobbying and contributions kept financial derivatives from being regulated, led to the repeal of regulatory barriers between commercial banks and investment banks and kept the government from stepping into halt predatory subprime lending. (The authors list “12 Key Policy Decisions Led to Cataclysm” here.) "Depression-era programs that would have prevented the financial meltdown that began last year were dismantled, and the warnings of those who foresaw disaster were drowned in an ocean of political money,” Rosenfield said in a release. The authors don’t blame either political party, noting that roughly 55 percent of the donations went to Republicans and 45 percent to Democrats. In the 2008 election cycle, they note, Democrats received slightly more than half of the financial sector’s contributions. They also say that 142 of the lobbyists employed by 20 “leading financial firms” during this period “were previously high-ranking officials or employees in the Executive Branch or Congress.” The report can be found here.
