Wrong counter-site. I was only suppose to shows NASA's experiments with anti-gravity, the rest(face on Mars etc) is irrelavant.
The point is, anything Hoagland has to say cannot be trusted since he has demonstrated a propensity to deceive in the past.
crazymikey said:
Sure. Did you ever stop to wonder why Podkletnov never published. He was scheduled to do so in at least two British peer-reviewed journals but it never happened.
In addition, Hathaway, Cleveland & Bao (2003) attempted to duplicate Podkletnov's experiments as he outlined in his
unpublished paper and his published work in 1992 in
Physica C and came to the following conclusions:
- No weight modification or gravity-like force has been detected to the 0.001% level.
- The method of detection of ??Josephson junctions?? internal to the superconducting disks needs to be clarified because the initial tests performed did not conclusively detect their existence.
- The ability to achieve true AC Meissner levitation at 100 kHz was not successful because of the large size and weight of the disks used in the
experiments. Apparently, the magnetic field intensity of the solenoid assembly proved to be too weak. Therefore, either greater power levels are required (greater than 1 kW), or the coil design needs to be optimized.
Not only did they review his methodology in setting up their own experiment, they also consulted Podkletnov to design their own.
It would seem that Podkletnov was in err, considering the inability for his hypothesis to be replicated.

Your link was broken, but the skepticalinvestigations.org site has always seemed like a pseudoscience site to me. Regardless, I stand by my premise. You chose to present fantastic claims in a public forum, therefore the burdon of proof is on you. Period. It's
your claim. I say it's all poppycock. Prove me wrong.
Which you have yet to do. All you've actually done is provide a bunch of pseudoscience shit in the form of a bunch of "believers" re-affirming their faiths, talk about "radar reports" without citing a reference to a single one that can be examined, spouting garbage about "ancient astronauts" who hovered over the Mid East at the time of Christ and posed for paintings long enough for artists a full millenium later to capture, etc., etc. ad nauseum.
Investigation into UFO/ETI is a waste of time since the supernatural and metaphysical cannot be falsified.
crazymikey said:
The Pseudoskeptical Catch-22: "unconventional claims have to be proved before they can be investigated!" This way, of course, they will never be investigated or proved.
I don't know who you're quoting there, but a claim's convention is irrelevant to the scientific method. It is either testable or it is not. To date, your UFO/ETI claims are untestable, non-repeatable, and non-falisifiable. Therefore, they are clearly
pseudoscientific.
crazymikey said:
You see, that you actually call these speculative fantasies, despite being provided evidence of their existence, must mean you are just ignorant.
You've demonstrated no evidence.
crazymikey said:
Evidence is not simply some text on a screen that says: "this is evidence."
Evidence is testable, repeatable, and potentially falsifiable. NONE of the dribble you've offered up fits that bill.
There is no "mountains of evidence." Just mountains of crap.
crazymikey said:
I am not taking about Sciforums broadly. I am talking about these "Proof for ETI" theads. If the skeptics want it to be proven before investigated or want "physical evidence" Then they might as well not post in these threads.
Bleh. More pseudoscience rhetoric.
You are the one that has said, "proven," "proof," and "mountains of evidence." The skeptics have only pointed out how wrong you are, then you say, "but I'm investigating...... blah, blah...."
crazymikey said:
If you post in public, it should be discussed in public. As to your "investigation," I've only seen where you've cut and pasted from other pseudoscience sources. That's not conducting and "investigation," it's creating and anthology.
Perhaps the titles of your threads should have been "Anthologies of UFO/ETI Lore."
crazymikey said:
I am only making them more aware of the ETI/UFO reality, so that they understand, it is a serious science.
Ha! Yeah,
that's successful. So far, you've only appealed to your fellow UFO/ETI cult members. The
Science Board members don't appear to have changed their positions. I'm not including myself in that latter category. Compared to Goofyfish, WellCookedFetus, Persol, Q, and others, I'm just a visitor to SciForums. But I recognize it is "science" forums with a place to discuss "pseudoscience" from the perspective of
real science.
If your topic is
real or
serious science, then you've posted in the wrong forum. Perhaps you should go to the
Astronomy, Exobiology, and Cosmology forum. Post your "proof" there.
crazymikey said:
I already have validation from serious well known scientists and researchers.
Name two.
crazymikey said:
It doesn't matter if the skeptics, who are not even scientists or versed in these sciences, agree
Oh, I'm well versed in this field. Anthropology. I'm making it a life's work to study why people
believe and their archaeological records. You should see my field notes on this site
crazymikey said:
To be honest, I don't even know who Hoagland is. I do what everyone should be doing, I test the claims, and come to my own conclusions.
And you'd think if you actually
did test claims instead of
talking about testing claims, you'd know who Hoagland was and that Podkletov's fanciful ideas are... well... fanciful.
crazymikey said:
How much independent thinking have you done to come to your conclusions, all you seem to do, is directly quote from other web sites and consider it debunked.
You really haven't followed my posts very closely then. For I routinely
cite primary, peer-reviewed sources rather than lean on mere websites. I do, however, recognize that one such as yourself has limited access to scholarly journals, and therefore attempt to provide secondary sources of reputable credibility, such as the link above.
crazymikey said:
Most of the time, the sites you quote, don't even have anything to do with the matter - which is very funny.
Most of the time, you appear to lack the critical thinking ability and logical reasoning to figure out what these citations allude to - which is not particularly funny considering the steady decline in our nation's educational / technical status, particularly with regard to the sciences.
