So, you have this here claim. Nobody can explain it. You think
it's real. Fine. Now here's the next step, listen carefully:

THE CLAIM IS YOURS. YOU PROVIDE FIRST THE EVIDENCE TO
SUPPORT THE CLAIM, THEN YOU PROVIDE THE EXPLANATION
FOR IT.

As far as many of the claims regarding burn in of wires and the
like, you have failed utterly to provide even the first step,
that the phenomenon you claim even exists. End of story until
YOU come up with something better than the claim.

YOU are making the extraordinary claim, if you want to be taken
seriously, YOU need to some up with the extraordinary evidence.

It's that simple. Why are you having problems with that, other
than the fact that you apparently can't meet the criteria?

I suppose asprin didn't really work all those years since they didn't have any
explination for how it worked or any way to measure it except by human
perception. But now that pain can be measured by other, more scientific means
and asprin has been fgured out it now works just fine.

I wish guys like you would stop this silly line of reasoning.

Things can be demonstrated to *work* and phenomena can be demonstrated
to *exist* without there
being a explanation for *why*. Levitation et al don't
even meet the first criterion, though -- they haven't been demonstrated
to *exist*.
