TP, I will kindly advise you that you're wasting your time. John Lear has a cultlike following of people who've already decided what they will and will not believe about extraterrestrial phenomena. Trying to reason with these individuals is futile, since John Lear's resume is so impressive that his keystrokes are considered by many to be almost equivalent to the word of God.

If you shoot a proton into 233g of anything, what would almost certainly be happening is - nothing at all! Because of electromagnetic repulsion, the single proton wouldn't react with any nucleus. And because the proton is a stable particle, it would simply live happily ever after wherever it came to rest in the target material.


Assuming that it existed?

Assuming that it is stable?

Assuming that 116 is unstable?

Assuming the result is instantaneous decay?

Assuming that decay throws of anti-matter which would react
in a total conversion of matter to energy?


Assumption #5 is total BS (as is #2, of course), because instantaneous decay of any normal-metter nucleus will only produce normal-matter decay products. And even if the decay did produce anti-matter particles (which it doesn't), all you got from your single proton, would be a few anti-matter particles - you wouldn't even notice when these annihilate with the surrounding matter.


Anyway, even if your above assumptions were meant as a joke (which I doubt), everything you said on this thread so far only shows that you have absolutely zero knowledge about nuclear physics. Bob Lazar has pulled your leg big time! BTW, Bob screwed up when he chose element number 115 for his nonsense. He should at least have said something like, say, element 230 - this would have been outside the reach of actual experiments forever, and you guys could always have said "The scientists' model for superheavy nuclei > 200 protons are all wrong - the aliens told us better!"

This got me thinking.

In 1999 scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory announced the discovery of elements 118 and 116 and even announced that "the sequence of decay events is consistent with theories that have long predicted an 'island of stability' for nuclei with approximately 114 protons and 184 neutrons". Two years later they retracted their statement and said the discovery had been a "mistake".

In 1989 two physical chemists called Fleischmann and Pons discovered a process which they christened "cold fusion" for initiating nuclear fusion at room temperature. Shortly after they were forced to retract their discovery and were ridiculed by the scientific community, and indeed whilst doing my chemistry degree we studied their work as a textbook example of "pseudoscience". However more recently in 2006 a similar experiment again produced evidence of high-energy nuclear reactions occuring in much the same way as was originally reported and the process is now being further studied at the US Navy Space and Naval Warfare Systems Centre in San Diego.

The point I am trying to make is that if Bob is right about the properties of certain isotopes of element 115 would not the people at the top try to suppress research into this area by mainstream science, and attempt to discredit and ridicule those who do despite the fact that their research may have merit as appears to have been the case with cold fusion? If it was revealed that there is indeed an "island of stability" for superheavy elements it could spur a new wave of research into this area which some people might find most unwelcome.

I think we can agree it's not possible.


I disagree to agree, for the reasons given above.

I like to keep an open mind, especially when reading ATS.

John, you mentioned that you didnt know what you were looking for at the time of the experiment. Didn't Bob explain the purpose of the experiment or what you might see?
Now it seems you understand the reason for experiment. Was this explained to you before or after the experiment?

I have one more question if you'll indulge me ( it is slightly off topic ). You mentioned on another thread that your wife doesn't believe in your theories. I'm having a really hard time with this because if I'd have seen/heard/was convinced of the things that you claim to have seen/heard/been convinced about then I think my significant other would be the easiest person in the world to convince. I don't mean this to sound rude but you've obviously ( if you're to be believed ) seen/heard some pretty amazing things. Does your wife think you are lying?
Take the 115 issue for example. You have obviously told your wife about you obtaining the 115 and testing it. If she doesn't believe you on this issue surely she can only think you're lying or crazy?
Many thanks

Thanks for the post RedEyes.

If he did I don't remember it. He may have and it flew right over my head. There were so many things going on at the time. It was several months after Bob refused to go back to S-4. George Knapp was airing the Lazar special. Marilee (my wife) went over to Bob's house with her .45 Government Model and threatened to shoot his Corvette because he had thrown a yellow die marker in our pool all because I tied a Pepsi can under his Corvette at the Lied Modern Science building where he was doing his community service. The 115 had been taken from Los Alamos National Labs were it had been machined. Somebody borrowed three of the machined pieces and gave them to Bob.

Was it explained to you before or after the experiment?


I don’t remember it ever being explained until years later when the subject of whether or not Bob really had any 115 came up. I figured if I was going to tell the story about the experiment that I had better find out what Bob was and Joe were doing.

She doesn’t know anything about 115 other than we had it.

This is her kissing Bob on my 52 Birthday.
