Scientists at Purdue University are currently pursuing an experiment that, if successful, could prove the existence of other dimensions -- and possibly ghosts. The researchers are repeatedly placing two nickel plates in a vacuum, bringing them slowly together and measuring the amount of energy that builds as they get closer. Physicist Dr. Ephraim Fischbach says when the metal plates slam together, the area around them will be charged with all sorts of electromagnetic particles that can't get through the metal. Both plates are basically identical but one has six additional neutrons. That means any measurable difference in force between the two slabs is proof of an unknown force, possibly from another dimension. Fischbach won't speculate whether his device is a "ghost machine" but says if his experiment turns out according to plan, it may provide the basis for contacting interdimensional beings -- maybe within 50 years. Dr. Fischbach's findings appear in the latest issue of "Physical Review Letters." xponent Vac Fluc Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
