Ancient Mural Complex on Mars

Jim,

Suppose something in space explodes. What caused it?

If you happen to be the one that caused it, you know. If you are anyone else, you don't. It could have been a natural event, or an accident, or a malfunction, or it could have been caused by someone (or ... some Thing)

There may well be treaties of the sort you mention, but they would be pretty close to useless. Come to think of it, that is just the sort of "solution" that politicians like when trying to 'fix things'.

Just to throw some gasoline onto the conspiracy fire, I have in my possesssion a paper copy of a paper written in 1997 by a pair of physicists working at a university in Switzerland. It describes an apparatus for measuring the speed of propagation of gravitational force in the laboratory.

As an engineer and a physicist, I am certain that with the right support this apparatus could indeed measure the tiny gravitational forces generated by their 'transmitter'.

Informal testing of such things is a necessary part of hardware developemnt. And in this paper they mention that said informal tests gave results that were consistent with a speed much larger than light.

They never did any formal testing.

They never formally published any additional papers relating to this apparatus.

The paper was easy to find on the net with a Google search until about 2007.

For several months during 2010 I tried to contact both authors. The email addresses I have do not produce "address not found" messages.

But I have never received a reply.
