Surely, if it was a real science-related technology, it would have been advanced to some degree by now. Wouldn't you think?  |
I have no Understanding or Interest in dowsing, divining and the like.
I have a set of electrical technology manuals from c.1920. None of the
electrical theories & concepts have changed, some seem a bit basic,
but actually more clearly & far better explained than most current texts.
(but, no TV,FM radio, transistors or solid state stuff).
I'm an analogue kind of guy, in an increasingly digital world.
As far as advancing the science, little effort is put into anything for the benefit of "hobbyists" any more, no (not enough) money in it.
I hear Minelab is shutting down the Irish factory.
Lots of money spent making computers smaller & faster for movies & games.
Lots of the advanced science is being used for deep space investigation.
It's amazing what they can do with remote sensing. Detecting the presence of tiny planets around stars from the interference patterns in the gravity waves and "dark matter" Of course we just have to accept what they say is true, cos, they're scientists and we can't repeat their experiments.
There has been some military work done on mine detection at night using
"cosmic radiation" as the illumination source. ie passive detection
quite successful according to the extract I saw. I don't suppose that counts.
Looks like its up to me to advance things a degree or two
To Infinity.... & Beyond
