Later addition below - 13 / 15th August '06 -- From: "Ray D" To: WebMaster at Allais Info Subject: Allais Effect - 1999 NASA Experiments Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2006 14:29:28 +0100 Hello, Only just found your pages, when re-checking for results of the 1999 world-wide Allais-effect experiments carried out under the general control / advice of Dr Noever of NASA. You might not know that I was in touch (email) with Dr Noever before the eclipse and advised / recommended he should also set up an experiment using a free-running (non-governed - non-damped) gyroscope to record its output readings. I justified this with the obvious comment that a gyroscope is a `super-pendulum' and can be expected to be much more sensitive to any inertial effects. However Dr Noever did not seem enthusiastic - and after a long while I'm inclining to the opinion that he might not have wanted to detect the Allais effect at all. Reasons for that opinion are - 1) NASA has a record of noisily setting-up `mysteries' that can then be debunked - equally noisily; 2) there were multiple experiments set up around the world for the 1999 eclipse - and highly publicized by NASA - but no results are now available. [I had a vague impression that several positive results were announced / leaked in 2000 or later, but all references to those have apparently gone from the Web.] My interest in that 1999 experiment had been due to a few years thoughts on inertial phenomena which seemed to demand effects caused by, and felt by, a spinning or rotating mass. That had led to my forecast of seismic effects from eclipses - and I took the trouble to put that in writing (before the after-effects of the 1999 eclipse became evident) with copies going to several UK gov't agencies [M.o.D. reference: D/INV.U/1/5/01BS18; Office of Science and Technology reference: S392 ]. For my own web-page on inertial effects I made edited copy of two / three emails passing between Noever and me (with [Dr] Noever's name removed - but think I may have the originals somewhere). That should be available at http://www.perceptions.couk.com/uef/regyros.txt I am getting the impression that history has been re-written or actually suppressed. I.e. checking the Wiki entry for the `Allais effect' now finds no mention of the 1999 [organized by] NASA experiments. Best wishes Ray Dickenson ----------------------------------------------- 13 August '06 Later add. Looked around and found a paper from one of the many universities taking part in the world-wide (1999 eclipse) experiments http://tinyurl.com/ftew9 - for original PDF file http://home.t01.itscom.net/allais/blackprior/mihaila/2003/mihaila2003.pdf or, as Google's HTML version http://tinyurl.com/fyl7n Additionally, found this comment "Chris Duif, a researcher at the Delft University of Technology, in the Netherlands, has reviewed the evidence. According to a paper he has just posted on arXiv.org, an online publication archive, the effect is real, unexplained, and could be linked to another anomaly involving a pair of American spacecraft" - (which is ironic, as one sees at http://www.perceptions.couk.com/footnotes2.html#2 - confirming NASA's receipt of our suggestion) Checked arXiv and found http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0408023 - From all this we can see that the Wiki article - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allais_effect - is biased to say the least, reflecting only an apparent desire on the part of some academics (and NASA?) to suppress the facts. PS - the facts seem to indicate what has been forecast: that at time of alignment of three or more rotating masses there is a diminution of the force endowing mass with `inertia'. That is, specifically visible inertial phenomena, like a pendulum's or gyroscope's behavior, or the seismic movement of deep strata, change significantly during alignment. I believe a statistical analysis will show that this extends even to the twice-monthly FULL & NEW Moon alignments - accentuated with any increased precision of alignment, as with an eclipse.
