Ahh yes, the Heisenberg compensator.
I didn't realize there was a linguistic category for crack-pot techno-babble.
And people say science is limited.

Re: Stop and smell the aether
What I meant in my post about "generating a selectively etheric field" did not refer to fashioning some sort of a "generator." You would instead generate the field from the planet itself, using natural materials as resonators, and a certain way of arranging the components of the in-the-field set-up.
The protocol I have in mind would be a major one, and pretty expensive

Re: Stop and smell the aether
I received my MD degree from Boston University School of Medicine. I practiced medicine for 30 years, including a couple years in the US Army Medical Corps. I am now retired from medicine.
I became interested in para mainstream mysteries in the 1970s, when people began debating about the Bermuda Triangle and a few other similar areas. That eventually led me to focus mainly on the scientific questions that arose. Ultimately, it led to the ether model I developed.

Re: Stop and smell the aether
What I meant in my post about "generating a selectively etheric field" did not refer to fashioning some sort of a "generator."
So the ether is not a component of the Universe, but rather a "field" that you create? And what is the difference between a selectively etheric field and just a plain etheric field?
You would instead generate the field from the planet itself
With what, a deathstar?
using natural materials as resonators
What happens if you use un-natural material?
and a certain way of arranging the components of the in-the-field set-up.
Can you describe your observations that led you to to your certain way of arranging the components of the in-the-field setup?
The protocol I have in mind would be a major one, and pretty expensive
So, are you going to share this "major" protocol with us, or is it a secret?
If you are shooting for a Nobel you will probably need to provide more details and publish in a peer reviewed scientific journal.

Similar areas? Similar in what way?
That eventually led me to focus mainly on the scientific questions that arose.
What scientific questions? You mean like how could anyone be gullible enough to believe any of this bullshit?
Ultimately, it led to the ether model I developed.
Wow, what a story! Made up urban myths led you to the ether model that so far you haven't described.

My early answer still applies. You need to get busy on this.
People who doubt the existence of the ether aren't likely to do it for you.
The protocol I have in mind would be a major one, and pretty expensive
Then you need to publish something about it. That way, either people will laugh at you or people might be persuaded to join in.

Re: Stop and smell the aether
Mike, I’m surprised that after 30 years in the medical profession you don’t seem to comprehend the methods you practiced all your life.
This is not the way science is done and you should already know this.
First, you keep saying you have a model. No, you do not have a model. A model is the math not the prose. You have not presented any model here, Mike. Please stop using that term to describe your speculation until you provide the equations.
Second, you have refused to answer any of the detailed questions put to you. The discipline requires you answer questions.
Next, your jargon-laden explanations use known settled jargon in illogical and inappropriate ways. You can’t fill a space with vectors, Mike. You cannot have oscillatory fatigue by an undefined immaterial field. And I can cite half-a-dozen more. You do not seem to understand the concepts behind the words you use resulting in your words reading as gibberish.
Bermuda Triangle and a few other similar areas. That eventually led me to focus mainly on the scientific questions that arose. Ultimately, it led to the ether model I developed.
Really. How does the Bermuda Triangle lead to your aether supposition? What is the logical chain of connection?
Mike, I don’t think you know what you are talking about. Everything you have presented is jargon-heavy nonsense with no explanations and certainly no model.
Are you a nutjob? Seriously, Mike, are you the crackpot you appear to be or do you have answers?

He isnt stitching up a gash in your leg, for crying out loud! You have this dim-witted idea that the scientific method is some sort of mantra to explain life and that is the only approach that people can or should use.

learn how to read Phat! Really, basics.
Michael MD posted nothing but utterly stupid word salad that could only interest those who have never learned how to think. Not only was there no substance there was no indication that Michael MD had a clue what most of the terms he attempted to use even mean.
No wonder you fall for the nonsense the apologists try to sell, you cannot read or listen to what is actually said.

Of course not. This may be a surprise to you, but the "Fi" in SciFi stands for Fiction.
You may have noticed that I asked the retired MD a bunch of other specific questions prompted specifically by what he wrote. So far, his responses to everyone might as well have been in Klingon. How is anyone going to find out what he has come up with and how he came up with it if we don't ask?

Re: Stop and smell the aether
Bermuda Triangle
Well there is your problem, the Bermuda Triangle anomaly doesn't even exist! More ships and aircraft are lost in other areas per square mile and so this is a made up anomaly, i.e. it doesn't exist.

If you think that this is simply fiction, what is it doing in the “Is it Science?” Forum ? Pastiches of bad 1970s SF belong in the Coffee House, if anywhere.
