    I looked into that product: http://www.synergisticresearch.com/n...ct-atmosphere/
    And the "research" they were quoting came direct from NASA.
    https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/s...her/index.html

    Low hanging fruit huh?
    Easy to draw the wrong inference, especially if it makes you entertaining.

    As Marco touched on, At least your getting your jollys, that's what matters.

    Ffs.
    Can't you read his quote?

    He doesn't say it's about fuses. He does say it's about one of their other products.

    Bollocks is bollocks. People (as Andrew points out) can make of it what they will.

    Yes, Yes I can.
    Reread it, realised my mistake and edited my post accordingly.

    Assuming you never reread mine.
    Bollocks is indeed bollocks...no argument here with that.

    In any area of life where there is a desire for fulfilling a need, we get;

    (a) Things we want and get,

    (b) Things we want and don't get,

    (c) Things we don't want and do get, and,

    (d) Things we don't want and don't get.

    Scientific method has arrived at some verifiable truths after many years of work, but they are a work in progress and we are far from understanding very much.

    So we use the science as a starting point, and then experiment further, but the results are difficult to verify because the arbiter is our own hearing experience, which has to be subjective.

    If we meet others, we have the problems of ego defensiveness which are all pervasive because of our imprinted culture of competition and 'one-upmanship'.

    Wouldn't it be great to be wealthy enough to hire a hotel for the weekend and all meet, with a room for each system, and just relax, put aside all that cultural alienation, try to get over ourselves and lower our defences, and try in all humility to express opinions, and determine a consensus of truth?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Nor can I. But then, I've not read the thread.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    We just like music and banter here Dennis...

    What makes this forum a wee bit special is that that shared experience you speak about is bourne out in real life.
    Made a few good friends from contact here and larger organised get togethers show that your not the only nutter in the house!
    Lots more like us into the same things.
