DinoChicken & Orion Physics

18 06 2008

I know I haven’t posted anything here for a while, but this article caught my eye.

It relates to the discovery of “DNA relics in the wings and beaks of regular chickens”

The article essentially shows how modern birds evolved from Dinosaurs and with left-over ‘DNA relics’ in their genetic code, there may be a way for us to actually bring back dinosaurs.. much like the ficticious soon to be real Jurasic Park stories.

The other thing I wanted to talk about is the Orion Project. Although not well known yet, it is an effort to discover ways of producing a “free energy generator” (in other words some form of perpetual motion device which can produce electricity indefinitely without consuming non-renewable fuel such as petrol).

Many physicists are quick to ostracize anyone who claims to be able to create such devices. Part of the problem is our current laws of physics tell us that the energy output of a system cannot exceed its input. But as many other scientists point out, you must learn to be open minded. There have been many cases in the past where science did not agree with the current known ‘laws’ and eventually through further scientific study, new (or modified) laws had to be put in place to explain newly discovered scientific facts.

One of the classic examples is Newtonian physics. For centuries we have been using Newton’s basic laws of physics to explain motion and forces of everything we know to exist. But it hasn’t been until recently (20th century) that we discovered that these laws Newton set out so many years ago are actually just crude approximations and in some cases (such as for objects travelling close to the speed of light) the laws have no merit whatsoever.

The point is: just because a perpetual motion device doesn’t follow the known laws of physics, it doesn’t definitively mean such a device couldn’t exist. It only means we have yet to discover the laws which allow such a device to exist.

Here is one for the conspiracy theorists. When I was poking around and doing some research on this topic, I found a few sites which suggest that the U.S. Government has already developed ‘free energy devices’ in the past and present but has chosen to keep information on said devices top secret. Possibly to have an advantage over other countries, or for political/economical reasons.

One person in particular wrote a comment on a site discussing how a friend he knew (who worked on a U.S. Navy submarine) was briefed on how the “nuclear” sub was in fact not powered by any radiating elements, but instead by a free energy ‘engine’ using large magnetic components.

Always remember the goverment is light-years ahead in technology. Take Echelon for example, absolutely amazing and quite frankly scary technology that has been around since the 70s completely hidden from public view. For those who don’t know what the Echelon project is, stay tuned for my next post. But do know this, if the Government wanted to hide something, I have no doubt in my mind they could do so, and do so very well.
