Boyd Bushman has been torn apart by physics-type guys in the past. He mis-states many things and if he is as smart as he claims, then one can only assume he does so on purpose. He also totes well known physical effects to be something they are not, and folks ignorant about such things fall all over themselves thinking this guy is onto something amazing.
I have heard tons of interviews with him, I like hearing him talk about stuff. He did a great interview on the Paracast a while back, lol.
Originally posted by Aliensun. He left himself wide open with the prophesy about the asteroid coming to smash us in a fairly exact location in twenty some years. Incredible. He would have to have access to some highly exotic info that came from highly exotic equipment readings in order to make that statement. As far as we in the public area know, that kind of ultra-precise determinations cannot possibly be made.
Upon its discovery in 2004, Apophis was briefly estimated to have a 2.7% chance of impacting the Earth in 2029. Additional measurements later showed there was no impact risk at that time from the 210-330 meter (690-1080 foot) diameter object, identified spectroscopically as an Sq type similar to LL chondritic meteorites. However, there will be a historically close approach to the Earth, estimated to be a 1 in 800 year event (on average, for an object of that size).
While trajectory knowledge was substantially corrected by the Arecibo data, a small estimated chance of impact (less than 1 in 45,000 using standard dynamical models) remained for April 13, 2036. With Apophis probably too close to the Sun to be measured by optical telescopes until 2011, and too distant for useful radar measurement until 2013, the underlying physics of Apophis' motion were considered to better understand the hazard.

No doubt FTL for an object is possible.
After all 50x the speed of light particles were announced years ago.
These are assumed to be sourced from the Sun as the local source
of potential once estimated at billions of volts which result in physical
force. The achievement of millions of volts is well known and thus
good speed should be attained. So far in the atmosphere the limit
might be 300 miles per second.

Here's an explanation of the copper-tube trick:

And there are various demonstrations of it on YouTube.
