        Dear Gary,
         
        
          
        
        Thanks for the kind 
        words, and I'm glad you find the material of interest. 
        
          
        
        As for the 
        universities: My advice is, if you can go to university and finish it, 
        please do so.  Just learn the physics etc. as it is taught (after all, 
        those models DO work okay for an awful lot of very useful things!)  But 
        keep your mind open, and remember you are learning the best model they 
        have, the way they see it.  Nothing at all wrong with that. 
        
          
        
        The only problem is 
        when scientists begin to assume they have PERFECT models.  We already 
        know from the Godel theorem alone, that no model is perfect.  A model is 
        USEFUL or it is not USEFUL.  It may be quite useful for many things, and 
        fail miserably for others (all models, including my own, e.g., do that). 
        
          
        
        So we are not trying 
        to find the "perfect" model.  Just one (or several) that are more useful 
        than the conventional models, and will therefore allow us to do things 
        we presently are unable to do, and have a more advanced technology than 
        we presently are able to have. 
        
          
        
        My advice to all the 
        students I write to, is not to argue or debate with the professors!  
        Just take what they give you and help you learn and achieve, and once 
        you have the tools, then redo some things yourself. 
        
          
        
        The work will go on, 
        whether I'm alive or not.  The purpose of the website is to get the 
        information out there, so that those parts of it that are found useful 
        need not have to be rediscovered painfully by others.  Those parts that 
        prove in error, should of course be discarded or corrected. 
        
          
        
        The forum notion is 
        not useful to my purpose.  In a chat board etc., suddenly you find all 
        sorts of ad hominem attacks, heated defenses of dogma, all sorts of ego 
        trips and posturing, the works.  The internet is already filled with 
        plenty of that.  My purpose, during the time I have left, and through 
        the good graces of Mike Reiker and Tony Craddock, is to get everything 
        up there, so it's available to anyone interested.  At that point, 
        essentially my work will be finished.  Hopefully, we will also get a 
        COP>1.0 EM power system on the world market about a year from now, and 
        also hopefully we will at least get the medical work started. 
        
          
        
        I'm also working (on 
        my presently necessarily limited schedule) on a book which will be 
        published next year by World Scientific, and thus will sit on the 
        library shelves of a great many universities.  In that book, we will 
        reveal just about everything we know about extracting EM energy from the 
        vacuum, how to grab a system in disequilibrium before it decays back to 
        equilibrium and thus back to COP<1.0, lock it into that excited 
        position, and hold it there for stable COP>1.0 operation.  Also, we will 
        reveal how to close-loop a COP>1.0 system for self-powering.  That is a 
        formidable task, quite complex, and not at all the simple matter that 
        most of the "overunity community" believes it to be.  We will also 
        include our proposed solution to the cold fusion reactions, why those 
        reactions occur, precisely how they occur, and give the precise new 
        nuclear reactions producing the alpha particles, excess deuterium, the 
        tritium, etc.  A lot more will also be in there.  We are about 2/3 
        through with the book now, and still working on it as much as we can. 
        
          
        
        Meanwhile, the higher 
        group symmetry EM -- under its pioneers such as Evans, Barrett, Harmuth, 
        and many others --- is now very firmly in the literature, as is EM 
        energy from the vacuum. If we can get the medical information headed 
        into the literature in similar fashion, then that will finish it up for 
        this old dog. 
        
          
        
        For a single "good 
        book" to dig into, written for the layperson, try Paul C. W. Davies, 
        Ed., 
        The New 
        Physics, 
        Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, New York, 1989.   This book, with 
        papers by many excellent scientists, is a  sweeping, expert survey of 
        the newer developments in modern physics, including many of the major 
        topics at the frontiers of fundamental research. 
        
          
        
        My best wishes to you 
        in your continued work, in whatever direction, 
        
          
        
        Tom Bearden
