The trick is to place a five megavolt       battery powered DC power supply INSIDE the balloon. Any metal or thick       non-conductor will de-       polarize the assembled electrons magnetic monopole field on the balloons       conductive surface.        > > >        > > > And the meaning of achieving such an assembled monopole is that the       balloon placed near the corona will accelerate to 0.5c at the orbit of       Jupiter.        > > The lowly electron is NOT a monopole.

This radiation class is that when the electron is accelerated in a       magnet field. If no monopole field were present, this class of radiation would       not exist.              Stringing together technical terms does not make you smart. It makes you look       silly and infantile. An electron generates a magnetic field due to it's       spin. So would a proton if you had a proton beam. This is due to the       particle charge and spin, not        that there is a "monopole field". Your right-hand rule merely indicates the       direction of magnetic field flow.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
