About 20-25 years ago someone took out an advert around 7 pages long in New Scientist. In this advert, he "published" a scientific paper, since no mainstream journal would publish his paper.
It was based on his belief that the speed of light in vacuum was not a constant, but using his very accurate timing equipment he could detect a difference as the earth approached or went away from the Sun. As a result of this, he claimed to show, using maths I could not follow, that it would be possible to make a perpetual motion machine. He said he would produce a working perpetual motion machine in about 5 years. Does anyone have any recollection of this? Better still, has anyone got the paper? I'd be interested in seeing it. I'd have to guess what the advert must have cost him, but I've never seen any advert as big in New Scientist - that said, I don't often buy it now.
