so for me--do not try to learn russian---if toread these documents is my primary reason...thanks to respond also---seems there is a lotof this kind of stuff huh...

>Hi Sam and all,>I did a little checking on the torsion field sites, and I'd have to agree with Sam, It looks like the original basis of all the commotion was an old Russian paper which has been elaborated on and made into another "cold fusion" debacle with promises of unlimited power, warping spacetime, perpetual motion machines, etc.>Some of the postings of pictures of field maps of "torsion fields" are nothing different than the magnetic field patterns one would expect from the way they wrapped wire around the ferrite toroids. Also, their point of getting the "aether" or "ether" spinning...., the ether was a ficticious entity created in the early days of E/M theory to explain wave theory. Since it was determined that light behaved as a wave, and all other "waves" (sound, water, etc.) could only travel through a medium, the "ether" was created. It's existance has been disproved by a battery of experiments over the past decades. >It's very similar to the gravitational constant that Einstein created to explain that the universe was constant. When his calculations showed it should be expanding, a "fudge factor" added. He admitted after Hubble showed that the universe was expanding (red shift) that the gravitational constant was the biggest mistake of his career.>Anyway, the aether is gone, and has been for many years. The flat earth society still exists, and people will hold onto their beliefs, regardless of the facts.
