Great idea, better get a patient quick. And then just wait for some serious improvements in batteries or someone actual building a portable Mr. Fusion.In theory, couldn't a car with a bunch of electromagnets attached to the outside of it be a hovercraft, by using the magnetic field of the earth? The magnets would change in strength and polarity as necessary to maneuver the vehicle.
Huh? Where does Einsteins theories fit into this? This isn't gravity or bent space time, and language has nothing to do with it, just math. Magnetism is fairly well understood, and while levitation has been achieved, it was under well understood setups.Yes, but that is where Einstein screwed up. His theory was based on the idea that using language to solve a problem would make his theory correct. Unfortunately for most of physicists at the time, they couldn't attack the golden cow. And still cannot. The force of the earth's magnetic field is very weak, otherwise, your ordinary magnet would be able to fly from one side of the room to another.
Keep on keeping on, your ideas, while not effective, are the stuff of change. Also, I, and many Sci-fi writers thought of it.
Don't mean it don't work, just hasn't been worked out.

You post public, it is public, open to public response, you want private, use PM (Private Mail).Beenthere,
I understand your query. And with all due respect to you, as a supermoderator, I was responding to farlander, and no one else. My point is, there are ideas that, while mathematically unsound, are a way to lead those to an answer that might lead another to a salient answer.
Please understand, some ideas, while wacky to you, may be the next nuclear reaction. Just have to keep away the slobs that only believe college professors are the be-all to end-all.
Einstein was, and is, an idiot. There is no way his theory works. Photon, anyone? Maybe a savant, but no more. Try it.

This is just nonsense. Everyone here knows that Einstein was a genius of the highest order. More than any other scientist he was far ahead of his time. If you think any of your blathering makes any sense at all, you need a doctor, - and fast. Seriously! That's the only reason I'm responding to you, - to beg you to seek the help you obviously need.Think of Einstein as a bartender. He took good liquor and made a good drink, did little on his own, but made you like him because you didn't make a good martini. I have no problem argueing Einstein and his stupid theories. But be warned, I will ask that the other side prove their theories, not just use existing professorial blatherings having no back-up other than " That's is what in the books." And, yes, "golden" cow is what I meant. Check the Torah.

I won't be baited. I'm not looking to debate or argue about this topic. But, ethically I have to say something when someone is in need of help. He's a nice guy, but his comments clearly show mental imbalance that should be treated.I suspect we're being baited... <shrug>
"Photon" is not a statement. If you wish to use the existence of a photon to disprove one of Einstein's theories, please be specific. Use math, not empty words.What part of impossible do you not realise? As I stated before, photon. Or are there not photons?
