From the India Daily newspaper (online edition), 9 July 2005:
Reverse engineering quark accelerating high mass bunker busting precision bombs from extraterrestrial UFOs
How do extraterrestrial UFOs penetrate earth’s crust to build bases under the tectonic plates? How do they enter the earth’s crust so quietly without massive effects on the surface of the earth?
And there’s this one from the same source, on the same date:
Creation of “negative†mass is the key to success for advanced alien and future human civilizations
The word may sound weird to conventional physicists but that is the key if future human civilization is to compete with that of the advanced aliens. All the dilemma of physical universe can be brought under control once we learn the concept of artificially converting masses into “negative massesâ€.
The alien civilizations perform these mass conversions all the time. Becoming net-net mass less provides the key to the further technological advancement of our civilization.
Bewilderdly scratching your head and asking what the hell? Well, so am I.
The article is in the Technology section of an Indian newspaper, so I find myself wondering if it’s a cultural thing: Most of the world takes itself far less seriously than does the United States. Perhaps humorous articles beside factual articles are par for the course in India. Perhaps its an infotainment thing.
The first article actually wraps up with a plausible point, hinting that the entire yarn was an entertaining means of expressing a far out but legitimate technology currently under research for terrestrial and current day needs.
With the second article, however, the point is less clear. Is the India Daily seriously discussing “negative mass” (better known as anti-matter) as an emerging technology? Yes, quarks, subatomic particles within the nucleus of atoms, would be the key to anti-matter production, but are we there yet? Physicists are still trying to understand quarks; are they already at the point of factoring their use into interstellar travel?
Or is the India Times just having a little fun?
If anything is seriously being researched I’m sure there will be more and more serious articles published.
Who knows, maybe July 9th in India is similar to our April 1st in the US?
Ooh, good point, Jon. I wonder if that’s true about April 9th. Hmm.
I’m quite intrigued by the presence of such articles in a daily paper–not by the substance of the articles themselves.
I can’t figure the Bharati (that’s Hindu (at least I think it is) for Indian).
Perhaps it’s all those people up against each other. India’s no small piece of land, true, but it’s smaller than the USA, but contains almost as many people as China.
Indeed, they seem so desparate for individual notoriety and fame that many of them started doing more and more outrageous things to get into the Guinness Book of Records. I can’t remember anything in particular, but they got to be so edgy that Guinness started turning down requests from that country.
Not to be denied thier moment in the Sun, an Indian publisher started up his own book…of Indian records, naturally.
Strange place.
Bery intervesting. I did not know zat.
(Forgive the accent, I’m watching Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein as I write this and layout the business plan for world domination.)
Well, at least you weren’t watching Zorro, The Gay Blade. Shudder to think.
I remember the words written by a famous London UFOlogist “Science fiction” is the first step to propose a scientific theory.The articles in the above context should not be taken as a typical Indian aproach towards “Extra terrestrial Technology Research”..But It should be taken in a more broad manner.
As far as anti matter is concerned,Not only India but the whole world needs to know a great deal about it.
We were never alone, and soon it will become evidently clear to all the reason for the ET to be in the Himalayas as we approach the beginning of a new age ! The 5th dimensional reality is coming …
BoOm !
