The Big Misconception About Electricity


This vid goes quite a ways down the road to explaining why:

1)  Power cords make a not so subtle difference.

2) Cable elevators should not be looked at askance.

No respectable science magazine or mediasource wood contribute even one line of copy towards debunking the electric universe hypothesis since it's such a silly concept. That requires me to use alternate sources. Considering you are posting YouTube videos you are in no position to judge.

Every source that you have posted is junk, starting with the Saturn Hexagonal configuration, and your critiques of Tesla are so incredibly child like, that I am seriously starting to question your qualifications. (and your mental health)

Forget Plasma cosmology, you can’t even answer simple questions about the things you claim to be an expert on, you either respond with pure nonsense, or in most cases you just completely ignore the question.

Like someone else said, get your money back.....you’ve been had, your education is not worth the paper your diploma was printed on., what a disappointment.

 

I need an Valid ID and a Notarized copy of your STEM Degree......or this is the last reply you will get from me.

 

Yuvi you make me laugh. Most of what I posted for you was scientific press summaries of peer-reviewed papers. There is little point in me giving you links that are going to block you with a paywall since it’s obvious you don’t have a academic login.

I am just a little more realistic about Tesla than most people probably because I have actually done the research where others just go gaga over things they have read that they have never done even a minute of work to cross validate.

Was that a promise that you’re not going to post any more about the electric universe hypothesis? Really, you promise?

I won't insist on a notarized copy of your degree from a recognized University Yuvi, what a silly thing to ask for. I would settle for your high school diploma.

Cindyment, thanks for the Vice article.  It explains a lot.  Smart people looking for answers to complex questions and not being able to truly comprehend how complex the questions really are.  Seemingly they equate watching a hundred hours of YouTube videos with obtaining advanced degrees in physics.  There's an element of laziness on their part.

There's an Einstein quote about how incomprehensible it is that the universe is actually somewhat comprehensible.  It is pretty amazing!

Vice was founded in 1994 when Suroosh Alvi, Gavin McInnes, and Smith used money from a government welfare program to start a magazine in Montreal that was funny, hip, and off-color in a way that hasn’t always aged well — “The Vice Guide to Shagging Muslims” — but offered an outlet for young people who found mainstream culture lame. While Alvi kept a steady hand on the wheel, McInnes gave the magazine its editorial voice. Smith handled sales, and told everyone they were going to get rich. McInnes called him Bullshitter Shane, and the sales strategy included sending a few copies of the magazine to a record store in Miami and a skate shop in Los Angeles and telling advertisers they were distributed across North America. “Shane would talk all the time about how stupid people were for giving them money,” says Jessica Low, who dated Smith and helped with the magazine at the time. In 1998, Smith told a reporter that a wealthy media mogul in Montreal named Richard Szalwinski had invested in Vice. Szalwinski hadn’t, but he was impressed enough by the gambit to take a meeting with Vice, invest, and encourage a move to New York. “The reason those lies were so successful was because even we believed them after a while,” Alvi said later.

 

Showing clients a good time wasn’t a novel tactic for Vice — “It also helps to eat them out and mail them drugs,” Smith said in 2003 of his ad-sales strategy — or anyone else in the history of sales, but a night out with Smith and other Vice executives became a coveted thrill for many chief marketing officers. “The party for Intel might have been set up, but what they were tapping into wasn’t fake,” says one senior employee from that period. A former employee on the account-management team recalled being paid to take Anheuser-Busch executives out for a night at a preselected series of bars, ending at a club where several Vice executives “happened” to be hanging out. “They were the cool kids,” says Paul Marcum, a former marketing executive at General Electric who worked with Vice. “You had Jonah [Peretti] at BuzzFeed, who oozed nerd charm, and then the Vice guys, who had a more swashbuckler persona.”

The losers kept paying. One day in the fall of 2012, Vice employees were told there would be free pizza and beer at 5 p.m. to eat at their desks. “And then fucking Rupert Murdoch rolls through with Shane,” one editorial employee remembers. Smith turned to his old pitch — “I said to Rupert. ‘I have Gen Y, I have social, I have online video. You have none of that. I have the future, you have the past,’ ” he later explained — and Murdoch pulled out his checkbook, investing $70 million in Vice at a valuation just north of a billion dollars. When an HBO executive congratulated Eddy Moretti, the company’s chief creative officer, on the investment, he told Moretti that it was nice to see the good guys win. Moretti smiled and replied, “I’m not so sure that we’re the good guys.”

 

The Times story was an investigation by reporter Emily Steel into sexual misconduct at Vice. The founders had publicly boasted about orgies and lascivious behavior in the past, and it wasn’t hard to imagine that much worse could be revealed. Several female Vice employees told me they’d joined the company armed with warnings to avoid particular men, and while the culture had buttoned up over the years, vestiges of it remained, and women reported a range of difficult and uncomfortable situations.

Vice management was nervous about the story and who might be talking to the reporter — a paranoia that wasn’t unfounded. Dozens of employees I spoke to describe Vice as a creative environment that gives them enviable opportunities, but many who have left say they feel some level of resentment, whether from low pay, managerial chaos, or overwork, and a number harbor a deep antipathy toward Vice. While the Times story was being reported, one disgruntled former employee had taken several female colleagues out for seemingly casual drinks during which he’d probe whether they had experienced any inappropriate interactions with Vice executives. One asked if he was recording her. He said, “Yeah, but you aren’t giving me anything good.”
