 Its a serious question Jack.....the energy needed to accelerate a 30000 ton
object to .9999c is about 1 sec of the total output of our sun...huge...I
have voice files of Friedman stating that the vast gap are not a problem....I
would of like to hear his explanation.....it is possible, but very
difficult...I can not see you problem over this.
An attitude?!  The above is an important question...and I post in skeptics to
test the U.F.O hypothesis, whenever the outcome..
I thought I had handled the science area reasonably well.  In fact, I went
through the past 350 messages and scanned for 'george' and 'advisor' and it
seems I missed ONE request!   It was a long message ending with 'how 'bout it
George'.  The second message was a response to this message.  If there was a
help me George, I would of picked it up Jack....so I can not see a
justification for your arguement.   I admit I do not completely read all the
mail...I scan through the first page for a summary on a lot of these...  I
can also see that this is all interwoven with the Friedman request and I am
not particularly happy about you claims.
I have already asked, we can not get it here...but I keep trying...
I would like it if people sent important and direct question DIRECTLY to
me....then I would definitely not miss them...

 Yes, it made it....however your netmail address can 'not be found', so I can
not reply....
My free internet and e-mail is off for the summer break until late Feb...then
I have one until next summer break...    what happen to your netmail address?
(I would of sent this via it, as you could have)
Regards George
