Ion Propulsion (Lifters) and the Physics of a New Theory.
If our eyes worked at a different wavelength we would be able to see that everything is radiating light waves of EMR continuously. In this Theory it is the continuous emission and absorption of these EMW that forms the forward passage of time itself forming the geometry or curvature of spacetime. This video is mostly […]

How can a magnet make a metal move if it is just massless photons?
by PhOtOnQuAnTiQuE Question by somone: How can a magnet make a metal move if it is just massless photons? Photons are massless, its just light, so how can a magnetic field emitted by a something like a magnet cause a metal e.g. iron to move? I’m kind of guessing that it is related in some […]
