We could also attach the 'lasers' to the head of ferocious man eating sharks, or if those are not available, ill-tempered sea bass... "All I wanted was a frickin' rotating chair..." |

It is also possible to push a hurrican away from land with such a laser. A laser is light and light travels in a straight line so it can't circle a hurricane. There is also the problem of a laser pushing anything especially clouds. Not to mention sheer absurdity of a laser with massive energy requirements being pointed at a storm system containing mind buggering amounts of energy. I'm sure that a laser could proscribe a circle with mirors or whatever, but what the point of that would be has yet to be explained by babbling Babs. |

You can break something up while it's still moving - witness a thrown glass bottle hitting a wall, or a hurricane crossing cold water. The outstanding problem with Barbara's idea is the lack of suitably powerful lasers, not the basic idea. 1) Hurricanes are heat engines that are sustained with specific air and moisture flow patterns. 2) Lasers can heat air, and can definitely heat water vapor (as found in clouds), thereby causing expansion and flow. If you started generating hot spots where a hurricane needed cold areas for proper hurricane-type circulation then, yes, you might break it up. But then rude reality intrudes: the most powerful available lasers might as well be laser pointers compared to the amount of energy required to heat cubic kilometers of air and megatons of water vapor. Nuclear bombs may not be adequate (and they'd annoy the EPA more, too). Mike Miller |

Barbara, Maybe you shoule pray that a satellite can break up your schizophrenic hallucinations. The reality you are seeing and hearing and experiencing is not shared by other people. Not even one single other person. No, not one. You are all alone there. Do you want to remain isolated? Remember that LRH said, "Reality is agreement." Do you remember that? Well, you have no agreement from anybody here. NONE! Thus, you are not in reality. You can commplain about that fact all you want, but you can't find a single person here who agrees with you. Does that tell you anything? You will be all alone in your alternate reality until you realize that not everyone here is your enemy or means you harm. I am not on a satellite, and I'm not some enemy of mankind. I'm just a guy sitting here in Paris typing on his own computer. I have friends and allies and enemies, but I am human and at least somwhat sane. Why do I know that? Because other people tell me so. That's all. What do other people tell you? That laser either circles the hurrican and keeps it in place till it loses strenght in the ocean or it cuts through it and breaks it up in less powerful storms. It is also possible to push a hurrican away from land with such a laser. Those NASA and Homeland Security "scientists" and officials take home a huge salary but they don't come up with that solution?

What is the matter with them? Am I the only one thinking or what? That's been the subject of science fiction for many decades. The problem, of course, is that in order to test the theory, you need a super-strong laser mounted on a satellite. Either we don't have lasers that strong mounted on satellites, or their existence is classified. Either way, they're not likely to be involved in any public testing of anti-hurricaine procedures. A satellite is kind of far away to shoot at a hurricane. Why not mount it on a ship? |
