This might turn out to be quite important in the future (if we start [...]

To say that claims of free-energy are frequent would be an understatement. It seems that nearly every week, be it on youtube, personal websites or news reports, someone, somewhere, somehow claims to have successfully challenged the very core of physics. None do. More often than not (roughly 9 out of every [...]

According to Einstein’s theory of special relativity, virtually everything with mass can be turned into energy. That, as Sherlock Holmes would say, is elementary. Outside of Albert Einstein’s work, and far beyond the borders of any conceivable logic, however, many desperate for either fame or for a solution to the so-called ‘Energy [...]

Imagine my excitement to discover his latest podcast entry, [...]
