And all that is why I told rhw007 the following:

See? You've just spent a lot of time bleating at me over my correct

'Someone' has commented about almost any crazy thing you care to
mention. That doesn't make it fact. After all, 'someone' commented
that large numbers of Senators were killed by anthrax when, in fact,
no Senator was even exposed to it.

:In fact ...

You're about to leave 'fact' far behind in another of your loony
screeds.

: Wrong.

:Worm holes are a theoretical construct involving negative mass. As I

:wormhole would not set uf feedback lops and become inflationary

That's not why it doesn't work.

:
: Don't be silly.
:
:Wrong.
:

Do you not comprehend what "don't be silly" means?

:
:Sir George Cayley (or rather his coachman who resigned
:afterwards) flew across a Yorkshire valley in 1853. This was 50 years
:before the Wrights. The Wrights were of course the first to lift off
:with a engine. Nobody in the 19th century thought that aviation was
:impossible. FTL impossibility is based on causation violation.
:

Hence my "don't be silly".

:
:Could I make yet another dig on secrecy.
:

Could we stop you?


:
uring the Spanish American
:war of 1898 a secret weapon was proposed. An aeroplane. The people who
:worked on it, (in great secrecy) were inferior not only to the Wrights
success Nov 1903) but were also behind Sir George Cayley.
:

Wrong. They proposed (and used) balloons.

:http://groups.google.co.uk/group/sci...740990f664ebaa
:
:This gives a summarty of the arguments. FTL involves violations of
:causality. This is clear if you understood anything about relativity.
:

You're spewing at the wrong person, nutcake. So far, you're arguing
ON MY SIDE, you silly git.

:
:Also whether travel was c/2 or c (I maintain c to be impossible) the
:arguments on the method of investigation + Radio Reloj stand.
:

Nothing wrong with faster than c travel. It's crossing from faster to
slower interaction or vice versa that are impossible.

Colour me unimpressed, Ian.
