Well fought, I think!

I sometimes find forums which (often temporarily) allow contact between 'enthusiasts' and 'professionals'. Although the topic was shut down, apparently the data has been preserved:

Pretty intriguing concepts of perpetual motion is the theme.

I'm afraid they confuse the concepts of academic suspension (their judgment) with suspended animation (an interpretation of perpetual motion machines)...

By the way, what I mean by 'IMPOSSIBLE MACHINE' is simply the moral that machines are not impossible, since they are machines. I also like the idea of maintaining control of the website myself, so the concept is not abused by naive people, or worse, a 'soulless corporation'.

Statement of the Reincarnation of a Gunner Who Met Isaac Newton

"When I met Isaac Newton I was very impressed. I said I was blown away. Or perhaps he suggested that. Later I was assisting with the guns, and became deaf. They told me, how could you be deaf? You sound just like a normal man."

"A small article ran in the London paper saying 'Deaf Man Can Talk'. Since I continued to understand everything they were saying, they concluded that I had invented the art of lip-reading."

Errata of the Mechanists, #4

I have sensed recently a return to blind criticism of perpetual motion, lackings of willingness to openly discuss the promising concepts I have constructed (mere examples---not yet functioning, but nonetheless, good ones as examples go).

The Lesson Being:

"If life gives you figs, throw them back"

(figs being an emblem of Isaac Newton in my imagination).
