Proof by intimidation (or argumentum verbosium) is a jocular phrase used mainly in mathematics to refer to a style of presenting a purported mathematical proof by giving an argument loaded with jargon and appeal to obscure results, so that the audience is simply obliged to accept it, lest they have to admit their ignorance and lack of understanding.

As we have pointed out Fran has lied about his credentials, why do that if you are "on the level"? Wouldn't your work speak for itself? Wouldn't your work get you a real diploma? What about a real job? Well he has one of those, it just isn't what he says it is...

Just because you might not know enough math or physics to understand an argument I'm making, doesn't mean that my argument is wrong. That doesn't make any sense at all.

You say an argument from authority is not a proper form of debate.. then go on to reference authority i.e. credentials from academic institutions.

He's diving into the equations and the paper and judging based on their consistency and not their abstracts, which is what you and the other guy have been doing.

Perhaps my first reading missed something, and in that case, I will do a more thorough reading later, but make no mistake, darkbake's approach is the legitimate scientific approach to topics like these.

QQXXw, you don't know what you are talking about. I have a good enough math and physics background to understand what is going on, and it makes sense so far. If I come across something that is wrong, I'll let you know.
Section 1: Introduction)
This is an overview. Basically, it explains what HAARP is used for, which is generating electromagnetic radiation at extremely low frequencies (ELF). To do this would normally require an extremely long antenna in order to set up the extremely long wavelength required to produce the ELF.
However, this can be bypassed by heating the ionosphere using high frequency radiation - this somehow produces ELF electromagnetic radiation. We can get into that more later.
Section 2: Gravitational Shielding)
This section explains the concept of gravitational shielding. In the last decade, a new formula was generated that explains the difference between inertial mass (f = m*a), which is used to calculate force, and gravitational mass, which is used to calculate gravitational force. The formula basically states that when the change in momentum is 0, there is no difference between the inertial mass (how much stuff the object has) and the gravitational mass (used to determine how much the object weighs). However, the higher the change in momentum gets, the less the object weighs.
This means that the faster an object accelerates, the less it weighs. Normally, the change in momentum would have to be extremely high to have any noticeable difference.
It turns out that that it is possible to create high acceleration by using electromagnetic radiation. Note that this does not mean the object has to move very far - since it would be possible to keep the object accelerating indefinitely by moving it back and forth at a high speed (its velocity would change from + to -, thus causing acceleration). So basically, the high-frequency electromagnetic radiation generated by HAARP super-heats particles, causing them to have high acceleration values.
The gravitational shielding comes into effect when (and yes this is possible the equations convinced me) the objects' weight (in this case I think they are referring to electrons in the ionosphere) become negative, and therefore, they counter-acts Earth's gravity.
The formula used for gravitational shielding is as follows:
Let Mg be gravitational mass
Let Mi be inertial mass
Let Mi0 be the original inertial mass
Let X be the ratio of them
X = Mg/Mi
Normally this would be 1, because the mass used to determine weight would be the same as the mass used to determine the amount of stuff the object has in it.
However, with high acceleration, this ratio can become less than 1 (meaning the object weighs less) or negative (meaning the object counter-acts Earth's gravity and provides gravitational shielding for everything below it).
Multiple gravitational shields can be placed on top of each other, for example, if there were two of them, the gravitational mass of everything below it would be X1*X2*(the original gravitational mass of the object) where X1 is the ratio in the first shield and X2 is the ratio in the second one.

I got a math/physics major and I will be looking over the material. I understand math. I'll let people know if I find something that looks like an error. I'll do the best I can here.

While I do not mean to insult, your "assertion" that you understand is not enough.
In order to properly fullfill the requirements of "proof" you would have to explain the equations step-by-step. Not just a paragraph explaining what the equation is, Fran did that already.
Furthermore, you would have to explain/teach the concepts behind those equations. Since I am fairly certain they are above and beyond algebra I.
This adds more creedence to what I posted at the top of this page. Why does he not do these things? Why does he lie about his status in society? Why would someone do these things?
Unless...unless...unless they were selling an idea that required the lies to be true....

Yay for peer reviews! (Also a form of "proof", in case folks were thinking I was after screenshots of diplomas or something...)
PS: I play true neutral in AD&D too
Honestly, the fact stating from both sides is a little heavy. No wonder there is so much strife in these topics...
Anyway! I take it that time manipulation (on a massive scale) is still "just out of reach" then?

Yeah, there are some interesting new ideas presented in the paper though that could open up avenues in the future I think. And a few other interesting ideas on his website. I haven't finished looking through the file yet, but I do get the idea that his formulas are accurate but there might be some problems when it comes to plugging in numbers and getting results good enough to cause earthquakes or hurricanes and time manipulation.
Still, it is interesting and potentially useful stuff. I'll check out the paper some more and his website and post anything that I think is really cool.edit on 24-5-2012 by darkbake because: (no reason given)
