I'll be the first to admit I know little about magnetism or gravity.

That doesn't change the fact that it's entirely appropriate to question the motives of the original poster: If he's sitting on the invention of the millennium, and has big potential backers as stated, with all due respect, why on earth is he wasting time here?

I'm actually somewhat disappointed that he failed to predict that he might not be warmly received, both for (1) the subject matter generally, and (2) the "I know something good, but I'm not going to tell you" approach specifically.

It basically begs a big WTF? Invoking Sagan: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I wish Bill the best possible success.

But I was pretty sure this thread was going nowhere from post 1.
