What you think is irrelevant, Double-A. The facts are relevant.

In Einsteiniana any triumph is a fraud but then another triumph
(fraud) is superimposed and so on indefinitely. In the end the history
of Einsteiniana turns out to be a succession of triumphs, that is,
Einstein rules forever:

The Lorentz force is proportional to field strength, but energy density of
the field goes as the square of field strength. Not good, not even with
clever field geometries.
Given that the atmosphere only _becomes_ a plasma as a result of heating
from the bow shock as the craft pushes through the atmosphere, it would take

So why aren't those stars that have Hot Jupiters orbiting them closer
than Mercury orbits the Sun, much hotter than the Sun? They have much
more massive bodies that are much closer, thus their tidal effects would
be much greater, yet they are not any hotter than the Sun.
In fact, the hottest stars, the blue and white stars are are likely not

Yes, if your desperately-sought Sirius-C existed, then most likely it is
a brown dwarf or a planet. It wouldn't be a red dwarf, white dwarf,
neutron star or black hole, as they are all easily detectable in various
ways, especially in a multi-star solar system.
You do realize that none of these stories you've linked to have anything

Dear YKhan:
Same problem. If they move "some of" the plasma away, then they are
reducing net friction.
The plasma forms because the gas has to have its temperature increased
high enough that the speed of sound in that material will allow it to
get out of the way of the spacecraft. This removes energy from the

though. Unless my estimates of the required energies are wayyyy off.
I doubt they're talking about a magnetic field so strong that it can
deflect all of the particles of atmosphere from even touching the skin
of the vehicle. They're probably just talking about a magnetic field

I doubt they're talking about a magnetic field so strong that it can
deflect all of the particles of atmosphere from even touching the skin
of the vehicle. They're probably just talking about a magnetic field
strong enough to deflect a certain percentage of the plasma particles
away, to lower the temperature on the skin, let's say reduce the

Thank you Darla. Yes, I think in his quirky way he was trying to

discoverer, lover of the Galileans and Titan and other moons, and NEO
researcher extraordinaire (to name just a few of his accomplishments and a
small fraction of his creativity).
Your effort is not wasted, Double-A.
His response was just Dr. Tholen's way of saying, "Happy Thanksgiving to
