Thanks for your supporting and friendly words.
I completely get – I believe – the significance of what is at stake with you guys. And I also play Chess, meaning, I can well understand the moves up necessary to Check Mate.
My only wish is that, once it is reached, it will not mean Game Over.
But a “Let the Games Begin”, instead.
Dearest Luis,
You have no idea how much I look forward to you introspection, right or wrong if anything can be broken to such, is greatly appreciated. I enjoy...no...I relish opposing points of view for if they weren't recognized by myself then I would forever remain entrenched in the box but those views affords the ladder to look over the edge of the box and climb over.
I should have responded sooner but I choose this post to respond but am also referring to some that are after this particular one.
I ask myself the question you raise in that "will the Game ever be over?" It will never be over until the truth of Brown is known. That will more than likely never be fully known, however, utilizing the Forrest Gump approach to substantiate claims made as to any contributions he made to the scientific community is ludicrous at best. To counter hard facts with nothing more than commentary without substantiation for said commentary is nothing more than static designed to over shout the truth. This distraction is doing nothing more than cloud any contribution made by Brown and put it in the same category as those that are doing the shouting are.
In researching the work/science aspect of Brown, I am slowly uncovering some facts to his research. First of all, there is no doubt of his talents in radar and radio antenna for the evidence is there from his notebooks at Vega Aircraft. But when it comes to other work, for instance, the fan, that can be traced back to Ferdinand Frederic Reuss. This man is credited with electrophoresis which is the basis for EHD (ElectroHydroDynamics) and in short....lifters. Another person credited with advancing the principles of density fluctuations was by Smoluchowski.
So that alone begs the question....Did Brown's work on the fan at Deckers represent a truly unique discovery or was it a furtherance of work done by others? From the record, Brown's work with the fan is not an original idea but a continuance and application of work done by others.
There is more but we will leave it at this for now.
My point is that even though the casual observer in reading these tomes that appear on this forum, might very well come away with the opinion that...there is no focus other than the apparent petty bickering that goes back and forth between two forums.
I cannot and will not allow someone to rewrite history as is being done by others when it comes to Brown. The research indicates that he never followed through on his work and that his consistent pattern of "rags to riches" life style, the consistent relocating, sometimes with his family and sometimes not, only indicates a personality that would be considered to be ADHD. Another persistent and nagging bit is the fact that when the money ran out, he did the shoe leather shuffle. The evidence to that is Meadville and the French experiments.
I did answer your question on another thread viewtopic.php?p=35638#p35638 and I hope you see that it is not all "rebuttals" directed at a little girl who is desperately looking to justify her Daddy's lack of presence.
