It does seem too good to be true - reactionless drive and FTL drive in the same device if I'm reading it correctly. However, this weeks New Scientist has a more detailed article on the same thing. Apparently Heim's theories are not well understood by most of the Physicists that have read them, but they do give very accurate predictions of the masses of fundamental particles - better predictions than more accepted theories. As a scientist I'm skeptical, as a gamer I'm more than willing to base a game on it :-) Gareth -- |\_/| Gareth L Owen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (o o) Man in Black, heretic and itinerant DBA \_/ MSN IM ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
