Ambergris - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambergris

Even more valuable that whales are so low in number.

Why can I not find anything on the price of DoDo poo?

At a few decades bellow there was not enough medicines to threat a lot of health problems, as tuberculosis...

The only way to deal TB was with the use of food!

Those old times was of pure historic restrictions... food of sure...

The families found the food as way to cure!

So, the family TB member was forced to eat more than the others.

All 'others' in sacrifice...

Then came the classic differential expression: 'son of a tuberculous woman'!

Old good times! B-\
Any intelligent comparison with 'avalanchedrive' will show that all PM turning wheels are only baby's toys!

Been reading up on 'Telluric current' and therefore energy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telluric_current

Then from that to 'Schumann resonances'.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_low_frequency


From there an old story I may have posted in the past came to mind.

The Story.

'Stonehenge [uk] was on private farm land. This caused no end of problems as people
walk over the land without asking permission. This could upsetting the cattle and sheep by leaving the gate open for example.

One dark and yet too be stormy night some students dared them selves to camp out in the middle of Stonehenge. The farmer noticed lights from their camp and called the local policeman to come and assist him to remove the campers.

As they approached so did the thunderstorm. Before them a lightening bolt hit one of the Large Stones and a blood curdling scream reached them.

As the noise from the thunder and scream died down a glow of blue white light expanded the and enclosed Stonehenge.

This glow faded away and when they reached the center nothing was left. Only the stone and cooked soil.'

Regardless to this story.

What wound happen if large granite monoliths were placed on high places?

Could bolts of lighting energy be radiated [resonated] out as electromagnetic radiation on a Schumann resonance?

If this was done around the world then we would have wireless energy on and off the planet.

P.S. The land was sold to the National Trust.

Note. Pyramid Resonances? https://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient ... ment-00565

There is enough thorium to power the planet for a thousand years. One piece the size of a marble has enough energy to supply you with all your power needs for a lifetime. It is as abundant as lead, three times more abundant than uranium and produces more energy per unit volume.

Why don't we use it? Because "Thorium reactors do not produce plutonium, which is what you need to make a nuke."

one kg of water has the energy of 21 Million tons coal,
you only have to release it in portions and do not release this energy in a bomb.

I am looking for such a solution in a contolled way, it also happened in nature.
The Fusion way, which the scientist try is wrong, there is an easier way.

We still cannot go this way, it will destroy our living Basis.

Releasing this type of energy will heat up the Surface of our earth, so we Support the warming up.

Therefore I had developed other ways, to cool down the Surface.
the sun delivers 15000 times more energy than we Need today.

So if we use only a part of this energy it is enought for mankind.
We have only to transform this energy in a for us usable way.

So the questions is, what Price will you pay for this Transformation, the energy is there, more than enought, but not in the form you like to have it.

I can produce electrical energy as much as you want for a Price of 2 Cent per kwh, with already known Technology.
Best regards

Georg

For if you don't know the historic picture:
One day I was walking and I found this big log.
Then I rolled the log over and underneath was a tiny little stick
now you know.

Did you know that if you had a spaceship that could propel itself at a constant acceleration of 1G, it would take only 12 years to span the entire width of the Milky Way Galaxy in your journey, and that one could reach the edge of the observable universe within a human lifetime?

I actually didn't, but is it possible?
When you arrive *) in that "spot", just somewhere in the middle of space, then how do they know back on Earth that you actually reached it?
*: Without inertial dampers installed, deceleration must be a real pain!

If they're not dead on Earth when you arrive then likely the whole Sol system will by the time your quantum-tunneled message arrives.
Thus when there's no one left, then what "edge of observable universe" did you reach?

So many questions...
What is this "spot" anyway? Can we sit still in that spot, or do we have to accelerate back to keep this distance a constant?

Other questions: Do we have to account for rotation when we cross our Milky Way Galaxy? Will we experience fictitious effects?

I think traveling across this distance would be the spaceships human contents lifetime.

A much time dilated period of time.

You would accelerate for half the trip, then flip the ship around and decelerate the other half.
