Would you care to expand on that? "There is no such thing as free energy because the powers-that-be won't allow it"? Or "there is no such thing as free energy because the technology does not exist"?
I'd agree to the first, but the second is patently false.
The universe consists of nothing BUT energy, it's just a matter of learning how to harness it.
That people HAVE learned how to harness it in various shapes and forms cannot be denied
probably the most obvious example (that I have seen) was on a documentary called The Race To Zero Point where an engine powered by nothing more than inertia was demonstrated, which was estimated to be around 20 times more powerful than a jet engine.
A troll's main goal is usually to arouse anger and frustration among the message board's other participants, and will write whatever it takes to achieve this end. One popular trolling strategy is the practice of Winning by Losing. While the victim is trying to put forward solid and convincing facts to prove his position, the troll's only goal is to infuriate its prey. The troll takes (what it knows to be) a badly flawed, wholly illogical argument, and then vigorously defends it while mocking and insulting its prey. The troll looks like a complete fool, but this is all part of the plan. The victim becomes noticeably angry by trying to repeatedly explain the flaws of the troll's argument. Provoking this anger was the troll's one and only goal from the very beginning.

That being said, lets get back to the topic at hand and allow the thread trolls wherever they may be to get back under those bridges

As you may or may not remember i never tried to sell anything and simply attempted to correct the ignorance you were propagating.
I am sorry for not spending the time to respond to your posts but i think anyone who were following would have noticed that you never addressed any of the information i introduced trough sources with anything but blunt denials, with no reasoning provide, or insults.
I do you want to respond but i have many people to respond to and i try to spend the time i can on people who can still be helped.

You are propagating nonsense.
We've gone through this already. Don't take me and the rest of the good members of this board for idiots.
I did address your sources.
You were not satisfied with my rebuttals.
That is your problem. I suggest you stay in school to remedy this problem.
With regards to understanding the way the universe works, you need the help much more badly than I do.
Nope. Dead end.

Well what should i call the propagation of 'facts' that never were?
You are propagating nonsense.
You have never introduced sources that objects to the facts i presented so you have not gained the right to call what i say nonsense.
We've gone through this already. Don't take me and the rest of the good members of this board for idiots.
I in fact only feel that way about you and please do not pretend that you are a 'good member' as those actually support their views with facts.
I did address your sources.
With your opinions which i do not care for.
If you can not support your claims with facts why waste the 'good members' of this forums time?
You were not satisfied with my rebuttals.
I am always satisfied when 'rebuttals' contains sources and supported statements and when you start doing such rebuttals we might both learn something.
That is your problem. I suggest you stay in school to remedy this problem.
Schooling is directly responsible for your type of ignorance and schooling is at this point unlikely to bring me back into my original ignorant state.
With regards to understanding the way the universe works, you need the help much more badly than I do.
Since you have never in fact addressed any of my supported claims with anything but derision and contempt
no one will know if you are in fact accurate in your assessment. Why wont you just start sourcing your claims as the rest of us do?
If observation and reality supports your point of view why not introduce it as i have my disagreements with establishment views?

Of course none of these terrestrial technologies would bring about the paradigm change that exotic technology could. So lets say with existing tech we basically continue on at the same rate we have been (which looking at the last hundred years is pretty fast!).
But if we were to have exotic tech introduced….
You’ve mentioned here and on your page that you wonder if humanity could handle that change. Would religion go away? Would bigotry? The level of awareness of the planet as a whole seems to be still in the young adult stage.
Children/young adults even when they have no ‘need’ to be cruel often are.
Give the planet unlimited food, shelter and take away the need for money and what would 4 billion people do, if they aren’t working and they don’t ‘need’ for anything?
Lets say many of the people become engaged in entertainment: games, films, and writing etc. some other people pursue their dream jobs…research, teacher, actor etc. There would still be a lot of people with very little to do.
Children would be born in record numbers, the planets population would jump right off the scale.
Would we look to colonize? Would the rest of the school yard let us leave our sandbox?
Would religion/bigotry/selfishness still run rampant? (It seems those last two would be very closely related).
I’m not sure that just a change in the scarcity paradigm would be enough to let us grow up. But it would certainly jump start the process.

My facts were and are.
Established science objects to the material (NOT FACTS) you have presented.
And as an American you should know I have every right to call what you say nonsense.
I don't have any need to pretend, as I am a good member, and I have presented practically nothing but facts.
No, with established science and plain facts (which unfortunately you do not care for).
Hey, that's my line!
I have. And you'll go right on believing whatever you want, like that little gem about magnets being "powered" by "dark energy".
Wrong and wrong again. You're more ignorant now than ever. You're so ignorant you have to manufacture your own entire personal universe around a few wrong beliefs.
A few wrong beliefs that you picked up on the internet (because we all know everything on the internet is true. )
Since you have never in fact addressed any of my supported claims with anything but derision and contempt
That's just your opinion.
You want my sources? Pick up any high school physics book!
These are the fundamentals discovered by great minds like Isaac Newton and Georg Ohm.
Show me where you don't understand and I'll see how I can make it any easier.
