Copenhagen's "reifiying" of the mere probabilities
of detection, is the biggest problem, whence comes
both "perfect vacuum" and "quantum foam" etc. ad vomitorium,
as well as the brain-dead "photon" of massless and
momentumless and pointy rocks o'light, perfectly aimed
at the recieving cone in your eye, like a small pizza pie.

thus:
all vacuums are good, if they suck hard enough, but
there is no absolute vacuum, either on theoretical or
Copenhagenskooler fuzzy math grounds. ao,
what is the "ruling out" in the article?

thus:
magnetohydrodynamics is probably the way to go, yes;
not "perfect vacuum or bearings" -- and,
where did the link about YORP, include any thing
about the air-pressure?... seems to me,
it's assuming Pascal's old, perfected Plenum.

twist your mind away from the "illustrated
in _Conceptual Physics/for Dummies_" nothingness
of the massless & momentumless & pointy "photon"
of the Nobel-winning "effect" in an electronic device -- yeah,
CCDs -- the Committee's lame attempt to "save the dysappearance"
of Newton's corpuscle.

also, please don't brag about free God-am energy,
til you can demonstrate it in a perpetuum mobile!

thus:
so, a lightmill is that thing with black & white vanes
on a spindle in a relative vacuum?
you can't rely on "rocks o'light" to impart momentum
to these vanes, only to be absorbed electromagnetically
by atoms in them; then, perhaps,
the "warm side" will have some aerodynamic/thermal effect
on the air in the bulb, compared to the cool one.

thus:
even if neutrinos don't exist,
Michelson and Morely didn't get no results!

thus:
I've been saying, for a while, that if "green" gasoline can
be made ... anyway, see "Green Freedom" in the article,
which is not quite what I was refering to!
> http://thorium.50webs.com/

thus:
every technique has problems. like,
you can't grow hemp-for haemorrhoids under a photovoltaic,
without a good lightbulb.
the real problem is that, if Santa Monica is any indication,
the solar-subsidy bandwagon is part of the cargo-cult
from Southwest Asia (as is the compact flourescent lightbub,
the LED lightbulb etc. ad vomitorium).

You could learn a lot by answering the following:

A particle is in the slit(s). Detectors are placed at the exits to the
slits. The particle is ALWAYS detected exiting a single slit. A
particle is in the slit(s). Detectors are placed and removed from the
exits to the slits. The particle creates an interference pattern in
and of itself. How is this possible?

It isn't. The particle has an associated aether wave. The particle is
ALWAYS detected exiting a single slit because it ALWAYS enters and
exits a single slit. When the associated aether wave exits the slits
it creates interference which alters the direction the particle
travels. Detecting the particle causes decoherence of the associated
aether wave and there is no interference.

Here is another one for you to answer.

In order to determine if the particle exits multiple slits an
EXPERIMENT is performed by placing detectors at the exits to the
slits. How is this EXPERIMENT not an experiment?

Placing detectors at the exits to the slits in order to determine if
the particle exits one or both slits is an experiment.

Placing detectors at the exits to the slits in order to determine if
the particle exits one or both slits is an EXPERIMENT performed within
the double slit experiment.

And that experiment ONLY tells you part of the information that the
double slit experiment gives you.

I really have a hard time believing that you cannot understand the
very simple statement made above about what needs to be tested and
what conditions have to be included in the test. This is the kind of
thing that 4th graders learn in their science classes. The fact that
you cannot absorb this tells me that one of two things is in effect in
your head:
- You are significantly more stupid than a 4th grader, or
- You are so entrenched with your preset conclusions that, despite
seeing and understanding the above, admitting it to yourself let alone
to anyone else would be too much of an ego blow to tolerate.

Either way, there's really not much point in discussing it further
with you, since I'd have about the same luck convincing a brown paper
bag full of popcorn.
