Pseudo Science, or The Next Frontier? Quiz

Answer: The CIA offered him $3.2 million to come to work for the US

Podkletnov published two papers that described gravity shielding effects, one in 1992 and one in 1995. The second paper was leaked in advance and produced sensationalized media coverage. Afterwards, Podkletnov returned to Moscow, but has continued his gravitation research.

While he claims that his results have been repeated by others, no one yet has come forward to support his claims through independent findings.

Answer: Nikola Tesla reported the Great Pyramid as the likely source of remote amplification of electromagnetic waves generated from his research lab in New York

There is something here for everyone to love, and for everyone to hate. However, it is difficult to think of an object on Earth that is as mysterious as The Great Pyramid, and debate rages on among serious scholars across many disciplines about its history, construction, and purpose.

The notion that the Great Pyramid was designed at least in part for power generation has been discussed at length by a number of authors, notably Chris Dunn, starting in the 1980's.

The hypothesis that the Great Pyramid is somehow tuned to key harmonics has also been discussed in many publications which cite evidence or analysis that the pyramid's structure is tuned to link harmonically to key sonic and electromagnetic frequencies.

The mystery of the construction techniques used for the Great Pyramid, and many other monuments and structures in Egypt, generates sharp disagreements. Traditional views hold that primitive instruments of copper and wood were responsible, while modern engineers cite evidence of high precision drilling and lathing that matches or exceeds today's technology.

While Tesla is still cited in regards to research and experimentation that is perhaps generations ahead of its time, there has been nothing found indicating he ever suggested a link between his work and the Great Pyramid.

Answer: Most advanced physics at the time was developed by Jewish scientists and therefore would not be a starting point for Nazi research

There was strong political pressure within Germany to disavow 'Jewish Science', including the theories of Einstein and subsequent advances. However, the impact of this pressure on war research is controversial. Werner Heisenberg did work for the Nazi's throughout the war. But authors like Cook and Farrell suggest SS research efforts diverged from the leading thinking of the period, allowing for discoveries like The Bell that remain a mystery.

Answer: It can explode with enough force to act as the trigger for a thermonuclear reaction

A ballotechnic material undergoes a chemical reaction when subject to intense pressures. In the case of Red Mercury, it was claimed by some, including physicist and neutron bomb pioneer Samuel Cohen, that the substance had enough energy density to compress the fusion fuel of a thermonuclear device without the need for a fissile primary explosion.

Answer: The energy of the vacuum

Zero point energy is the energy of the vacuum. Zero Point Energy exists because it is theorized that every physical system - including those at absolute zero - has an energy that is higher than its ground state. In the vacuum of space, all the fields present represent the zero point energy. The fact that vacuum has an energy level has led to speculation that zero point energy could be a source of 'free' energy.

Answer: Pressure

Scalar fields are evenly distributed - such as pressure, or the temperature across space. A scalar field has a well-defined value at every point in space, and some scientists suggest a scalar electromagnetic field represents the fabric of space.

Answer: Modern military aircraft flight characteristics

Hyperdimensional physics is the theory that information can flow on a macro scale across higher dimensions. Among various theoretical lines of reasoning, proponents point to Maxwell's original equations - before they were 'streamlined' after he died - as supporting this, and allowing for the unification in higher dimensions of electromagnetic and gravitational fields. While evidence of higher dimensions seems to be lacking, certain phenomenon, such as the 'over unity' energy profile of a number of planets, characteristics of orbital placement, and insufficient observations of neutrinos from the Sun are pointed to as avenues for further exploration.

Some authors have suggested that secret technology related to anti-gravity may be at work in the B2 bomber and possibly other aircraft, but this has not been explicitly linked to hyperdimensional physics (at least not yet....)

Answer: The mass and density of the moon is much lower than expected

The mass is substantially lower than would be expected if the moon was originally 'spun off' the Earth. And, its density is closer to that of Mars than that of Earth or Venus. However, many feel scientists have not been able to explain adequately a scenario by which the moon could originate in another part of the solar system and be captured by the Earth's gravity without a significant loss in the Earth's energy.

This has led some to speculate that the moon was actually built artificially in the distant past.

Answer: EKG monitoring during trance states

While most current 'civilized' belief is that conscious world is the only reality, a belief that the spirit world exists in conjunction with the conscious world spans cultures for tens of thousands of years. Scientists are just beginning to question the causes of the common experiences cited by those who have experienced altered states of consciousness.

Answer: In the far reaches of the Oort Cloud and Kuiper Belt

It's believed that many large bodies may exist in distant orbit, but these planets are extremely cold and difficult to find. In an article on Space.com, Alan Stern of the Southwest Research Institute is quoted saying 'When the solar system's story is finally written, its much more likely that it will have closer to 900 planets rather than the nine we grew up with.'
