The Panama canal is certainly an amazing feat of engineering. It required thousands of men and millions of man hours. The technology was fully understood, even if the scale was a bit daunting, as it had never been tried before. The grand gallery in the great pyramid is equally as impressive.
4th dimensional mysterio energy forces? Hmmm, well ok... I was thinking more along the lines of physics that are yet to be fully understood, like gravity. Did the ancients know things that we don't? They managed to move and set stone blocks so large that we still don't have the technology to move them. Block and tackle, I've understood the principal since I was 6 years old. My grandfather was a physicist who had a theory that you could teach anything to a child if he was taught early enough. Even with 4000 lbs of pull you are still far short of the requirement to raise an 80,000 lb piece of stone. Not to mention the fact that the equipment needed to raise such a piece of stone could hardly be missed by curious neighbors. Nor would it be possible for a single person to set up a tripod of the size and strength needed, raise the stone, and take it all down in the period of one night, in the dark. Certainly a lot of questions. Is it probable that a single 100 lb man could raise a 40 ton stone without anyone observing the task? Ed did it four times, twice each in two locations with no one the wiser. Did he have access to some technology that we are unaware of? Physics has been trying figure out the relationship between magnetism and gravity for years. Ed talks about "neutral magnets", which is very close to a description of scalar technology. Could a man with a 4th grade education figure out a technology that the best minds in physics had missed for years? Now that would be ironic wouldn't it? qc -----Original Message----- From: panamabob [mailto:panama...@email.msn.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 10:58 PM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: CS>Pyramid etc. South Florida Most interesting how the stories grow and how narrators can make what is essentially common place seem astounding. The Panama Canal, a pretty amazing amount of engineering, become almost unbelievable when you consider that there were no bulldozer, front end loaders or any other modern day common earth moving equipment. The gates of the locks, weighing 750 TONS each, are so perfectly balanced that one man can move them. This is technology (or lack of technology) of the 1906 era. Water is moved from a chamber 1000 ft long, 110 ft wide and 60 ft deep to another in 3 minutes with NO pumps of any kind. The earth moved from one segment of the diggings could build 10 Cheop pyramids. All this was done in about 4-5 years of actual work. You may consider again what block and tackles can do. Properly laid out, a pulley system could easily lift 4000 lbs with the wieght of a 100 lbs man. Attaching one end of the rope to a standard divides the wieght in 1/2 from the start. Each "loop" reduces again by 1/2. So first loop is down to 2000 lbs, second to 1000, third to 500, fourth to 250, fifth to 125, and sixth to under 70 lbs. He may very well have had some magical system., (or not) but obviously it's gone either way so we may just as well look at what systems ARE probable. This seems more probable than 4th dimension mysterio energy forces...don't you think?
