Big Bertha Thing welfare

29th April 1999
Operations Manager,
The Benefits Agency, 

Dear Sirs,

Further to your letter of 28th April 1999, 
regarding a list of questions, on the possibility of my working at all. 

I will attempt to answer your questions, in order as listed in your letter. 

1.I am not working, I am just pottering arround on the internet. 
  I last registered for course work with the Open University in 
  1997. This would have involved 6 hours work per week. 
  I could only manage half-an-hour per day, so totally failed 
  to do the work or complete the course. Not even one homework 
  assignment was completed.
  In August 1997, I bought a second hand computer for 150 pounds 
  sterling, and was given free access to the Open University 
  computer along local telephone lines at a call charge of 
  1p per minute.
  Since that time, I managed to build up a body of correspondence, 
  within the limits of half-an-hour per day mental or physical work.
  In January 1999, this correspondence was transfered by me to my 
  web site; www.bertha.ndirect.co.uk(since disabled.) 
  I have to pay 14 pounds and 9p per month for this site. 

2.Nobody suggested it, it just happened. 
3.My doctor does not know that I have a web site. 
4.See answer 1 for description of my activities. 
  No job is being done, so no job description exists. 

5.No employer exists or payments have been recieved. 
6.I can think straight for half-an-hour per day. 
  The rest of the time is spent pottering arround. 
  I can do one side of A4 paper of mathematics 
  or computer work per day. 

7.On any day free of a major shopping expedition, 
  I can do half-an-hour of original work and 
  about an hour of copy typing at non-typist speeds. 

8.My principle interest is a 50 year scientific project, 
  which was started 30 years ago. 
  If I could spend 48 hours per week doing it I would. 
  However half-an-hour work and an hour pottering, 
  seems to be all I can manage and 
  at that not every day of the week.
  Due to my condition, I asked Mrs. Pam S...., 
  a fellow Open University student to be the project archivist 
  for my work on the Open University computer. 
  She agreed and kept the archive of the correspondence 
  which is now on my web site. This is both an unusual 
  request and an unusually generous service 
  to a fellow student on incapacity benefit. 

9.Zero income for as far as the eye can see. 
10.Not applicable, zero wages or income. 
11.August 1997 and is ongoing. 

I trust that the above will put the internet feeding frenzy 
of the newspaper hype into some perspective. 

Thank you,
Tony Lance

Big Bertha Thing Probe-B

In the Sunday Telegraph of 11th April 2004, the QED section, gave the story of
the Gravity Probe-B satellite launch. This is expected to prove the existence of
a new force of nature, proposed by Einstein.

There are one or two problems with this:-
 1. Einstein never proposed this new force of nature. (Funding canard)
 2. It is a magnetic force directly proportional to angular momentum. (Memomagnetism)
 3. It is weak at Newtonian speeds and strong at near light speeds.
 4. The big three in gyroscopes are Einstein, Professor Francis Everitt of
      Stanford University and Harold Crabtree M.A.
 5. One wrote the definitive book on the subject and the other two read it.
 6. The relevant extract from the book is given below. (Spider published 4th March 1998)
 7. They do not credit the costermonger, with the definitive experiment,
      which proves the existence of the new force of nature.
 8. They do not accept that the novelty item was a valid experiment.
 9. They believe that the spider wheel was magnetized.
10. The costermonger did not magnetize the spider wheel, he exploited a force of nature.
11. The costermonger discovered, applied and sold the first working application.
12. There is an eye-witness account from 1850 by the author, which kindled his
      life-long interest.
13. The description was published in 1909, in the same book.
14. The force of nature has been missing for 150 years, since its discovery.
15. The first modern publication on the subject is spider, on 4th March 1998. (Usenet)
16. Attribution and due credit are two of the failings of modern science.

Drawing of a clockwork spider wheel and hairpin. 

Extract from Introductory Chapter;-
The "Spider tops," which are frequently sold in the streets of London, 
consist of a heavy little disc mounted on a spindle (Fig. XIV.). 
When the disc has been set spinning a small curved piece of 
metal is placed to touch the toe, and at once begins to slide round it, 
first the side (a) in the figure, and then the side (b), 
the motion continuing backwards and forwards till the top comes to rest. 
The fact is that the toe is magnetic, and this being the case it is easy 
to see that the rolling of the toe on the side of the metal produces 
the motion. 

From the book
An Elementary Treatment of the Theory of
Spinning Tops and Gyroscopic Motion.

Assistant Master at Charterhouse

Big Bertha Thing fact

Anything but a fact, changes the face of twentieth century science.
1. No iron moons and planetary cores.
2. No red shift measure of speed.
3. No Patrick Moore star at 95% the speed of light.
4. Muons arrive on earth.
5. Relativity is like an imaginary number; useful but not real.
6. Einstein-Haas gives a field strength 1/10000th the electric field.
7. Wave particle duality is a field effect.
8. Schroedinger is an approximation.

Who has the wit to check the fact?
