Uri didn't conduct experiments. He had a magic show. He was a stage and 
television performer. Performers aren't scientists. I had assumed you 
know the difference.

I assume you know that "The Amazing Randi" used by your ilk as "proof" 
that all this is fake was... I grow too weary to even continue with your 
stupidity.  I already pointed you how ignorant you are. Uri has been 
studied by a great many scientists (who you seem to think are all 
incompetent) some of which worked for the government.

Sure he was studied by some scientists.
Note that Geller did not do well in controlled studies.

Not the information that I have.

You REALLY need to get a clue. Geller claimed to be able to bend spoons using 
only his mind. And he demonstrated spoon bending repeatedly in this shows. But 
he was never able to do it in the presence of other professional magicians who 
prevented him from using typical illusionist tricks to bend spoons mechanically.

You see "superpowers" where everyone else sees simple, ordinary phenomena. How 
sad for you to be so limited that you cannot also understand ordinary stuff.

Is not the mind pushing the mechanics? I find it extraordinary.

Silly argument - you can do better--we can replicate lightning as a 
phenomena -but we cannot replicate the conditions involved in any given 
discharge because we don't know them . We can find statistical data with 
regard to polarity and strength  and make use of this in providing 
lightning protection. We then do provide laboratory lightning discharges 
replicating strokes of different rise and fall times as well as 
intensity.-standard practice in testing HV and EHV equipment.
Similarly we know the mechanism of making snowflakes but cannot predict 
the extremely local conditions that dictate the shape of individual  
snowflakes However we can, based on what we know, make snowflakes and do 
so.

Anyhow, don't waste Christmas on checking those snowflakes as you'll 
change them in the process.

No. Replicated lightning is not made! Just a poor imitation man vainly 
points too pretending it's the same as the natural. Man can't imitate 
lightning and even worse if I tell you when to call so-called REAL 
lightning  down in my back yard nobody can do it! I've offered a million 
bucks to anyone who can produce lightning in my back yard at my command 
in front of scientists. (ahem, I am the final judge if they succeed or 
not) and nobody has claimed the money! What does that tell you? It tells 
me lightning is just myth and fabrications and so-called "lightning 
damage" is just hoaxes by college frat boys!

So don't tell me that the problem in replicating lightning is you can't 
produce the right "conditions". That is science. That is just excuses to 
cover up fraud! Lightning needs to get an Ignoble prize for paper in the 
journal of irreproducible results!

Sorry Lightning is all FAKE! Simple electrical parlor tricks to fool the 
gullible! That is all there is too it! So real scientist believes in 
nonsense like lightning!

"Replication as a phenomena" -by whatever method we produce the required 
charge separation.  I am not saying that we can produce a real lightning 
stroke  even if we knew the conditions at each and every point in the 
vicinity of the path as we don't even know, ahead of time the path itself.
We don't have to do so because the distance from your back yard to the 
last step in the leader is what is of  importance (your house might just 
be a bit closer) .- and this is related, albeit empirically,   to the 
stroke as a current source.-which is within our capability.  
Probabilities of stroke peak currents, , typical waveforms and 
polarities  are well known.
So -as far as your back yard is concerned, we can produce something that 
is the same thing. .However a cost /benefit study might make it a waste 
of time. and would not provide the spectacle of a real stroke for your 
more distant neighbors.

I haven't been in a EHV test lab for about 30 years but you would not 
appreciate the effect of the imitation in your back yard and the 
difference between real and fake would be not of much concern.

Snowflakes are easier.

Enjoy the season

Thanks, Don and best wishes to you and all the denizens here.

I am familiar with man made lightning. For a time I used to have an 
office next door to the EHV lab. Impressive, yes, but not "real" 
lightning. I keep trying to make a philosophical point here about 
"forbidden subjects" but you are ignoring my efforts.

This just shows that you know a little bit about the subject, but not enough to 
understand it. Yes, lightning can create "antimatter" in the form of positrons. 
That is VERY VERY far from any sort of nuclear fusion.

We accelerate electrons and protons to ENORMOUSLY higher energies than lightning 
can possibly do. But there are poorly-understood astrophysical processes that 
get to much higher energies than we humans do.

You really ought to learn something about the subject before attempting to write 
about it.

You are flattering me, but it wasn't me who wrote this, Tom.
Although I do live in the Netherlands, so I can understand your
confusion. It was Christoph Köhn who showed to understand a
little bit about it (that's why he got his PhD.)

The claim in the dissertation is that also protons and
neutrons are created, which means that by definition nuclear
processes occur. Not necessarily much fusion, but the energy
range for it is available (NB in a fusor, particularly the
home-made variety, there isn't much fusion either. Hence the
comparison applies.)

Yes, but it is the laboratory version of the lightning that
I meant (e.g. at Eindhoven University, where Christoph got his
PhD, they create lightning bolts of about 1 meter length:
<https://www.tue.nl/en/university/departments/electrical-engineering/research/research-groups/electrical-energy-systems-ees/organisation/facilities/high-voltage-laboratory/> 
).

You haven't shown one single factual error in what I wrote.
(Admittedly it was only a short post which mainly referred to
the link describing the dissertation, but still you could
have tried harder, I think!)

I personally think, that 'Growing Earth' is in fact true. Actually I 
spent years on this subject and can produce as much arguments about it 
as you like.

In the course of researching GE I found it surprising, that certain 
heavy materials are found high in mountains.

This is illogic in a 'plate tectonics scenario', which is based on a 
initial creation of the planets from a hot, lava-like, molten ball.

In such a scenario the heavy elements would sink into deeper regions and 
would not stay on top of mountains.

But if physicists are wrong about the nature of the atom and falsely 
believe, that one atom does not change the element it belongs to, than 
elements could actually 'transmute'.

This would be a process similar to ageing and the oldest elements are 
found, where the oldest surface is.

And - as a matter of fact - the places, where heavy elements are found, 
would fit to such a concept (assumed that Growing Earth is true).

And this would bring conventional physics into deep trouble, since quite 
a few assumptions ('laws') are completely incompatible to Growing Earth.

Mainly  incompatible is the so called 'Standard model' of QM, since it 
is based on particles and those are assumed to be created in a hot big-bang.

But If Earth would in fact grow from within, this assumption cannot be 
kept, since the interior of Earth does not explode.


So also a chicken could eventually transmute potassium without high 
voltage or the creation of a plasma vortex.

And this would bring physics into even deeper trouble, since this would 
violate certain assumption about the nature of matter, which are 
universally accepted.

But I would think, that chickens are (in this case) smarter than 
physicists, since they can actually do the trick, even if physicists do 
not understand it.

While there is little use going over the arguments of Kervran as to how 
the elements in the Earth's crust are distributed and seem to violate 
all reason (such as transport through metamorphic caps etc.) as well as 
elements theorized to be created by sea creatures it's clear that the 
earth is not some static ball as theorized by mechanical physics but is 
indeed changing geology due to growing life and other ignored processes.

Quite the breakthrough thinking and discoveries in my opinion.

No, as you write "it's clear", so there never has been any
problem acknowledging this in the first place. What could
count as a "breakthrough" are things like the "giant-impact"
formation of the moon. Things that are not completely obvious,
I mean. (And violating a "static ball" picture, of course).

Yeah, though the theory of uniformity is happily dead and none who 
argued so strongly for it now admit it was ever believed. However, the 
creation of geology by transmutations is closer to the theory than Tesla 
moon-impact theories.

After further consideration...

*Significant* Future Advances in Physics cannot appear until the nonsence of 
QM is scrapped, and replaced with a physically consistent theory that 
"works" from the smallest component of the Nucleus to the Universe.

Watch this space for a challenge...

All the best,
