More lessons from Tom needed - you need to get rid of learning potential quick smart. A

How does relativity enable > the building of a free energy machine and why hasn't anyone built one yet? erm, I think you will find the Aether was abandoned some time ago Martin. About the time of the Michelson-Morley experiments I think... Still, you are a traditional sort of a lad I suppose... A

I merely noted that you mentioned Tom's name and ruined a good argument for me. Tom is the stupidity demon, to call him is to invite chaos. A |
