Painting showing, so called hands up the pole sedan chair.

Caption;-
A Mandarin in his sedan-chair. 

Extract;-
Jostling along is a most motley crowd. Here, for example, 
comes the handsomely-decorated chair 
of a mandarin who is engaged on state business. 
Before him run two attendants armed with whips to clear the way, 
and behind them are boys carrying large painted boards 
on which is written, "Stand aside!" or "Respectful silence, please!"

Big Bertha Thing Bertha

First Big Bertha posting was to first aid tent 
in OUSA Classical Particle Conf., 
to provide aid and comfort to victims, 
who had been set upon by unnamed e-mail thugs.

There was no way to make direct contact, 
with shell shocked victim, so we tried Big Bertha. 
The trick worked and first victim is well again, 
after saying, "At last, a normal man!" 
Since then Big Bertha has developed a life of her own 
and actually caught some thugs in the act.

First posting consisted of two anecdotes effort and repairs, 
from Big Bertha Thing gamma and particle respectively. 
Effort was also the last assault rifle shot fired. 
Rollover and shotgun below, were the first Big Bertha 
sent in anger, with reply to all sender and copy to conf. 
Progress and anecdote forward was first cannon shot fired. 
Spider and fact(newsletter and readership for astronomy) 
was first landmine explosion, 
which was not even deployed on OUSA Astronomy. 

Big Bertha Thing apology(Rollover)

Please accept my apologies for troubling you. 
It will not of course be repeated. 
However 3 net surfers have responded 
to my call to help out on the Conf., by volunteering.

In emergency situations, needs must. 
You and your fellow net surfers number 3, I see. 
Net surfers have broad shoulders, 
thick skins and I trust, compassion. 

Big Bertha Thing shotgun

By way of light relief, a similar general apology, 
to the one above, would bring solace and comfort, 
to the victims of such well intentioned postings. 
Please put it in a Big Bertha and address to conf. 
That of course, would be the end of spam.

Big Bertha Thing Probe-B

In the Sunday Telegraph of 11th April 2004, the QED section, gave the story of
the Gravity Probe-B satellite launch. This is expected to prove the existence of
a new force of nature, proposed by Einstein.

There are one or two problems with this:-
 1. Einstein never proposed this new force of nature. (Funding canard)
 2. It is a magnetic force directly proportional to angular momentum. (Memomagnetism)
 3. It is weak at Newtonian speeds and strong at near light speeds.
 4. The big three in gyroscopes are Einstein, Professor Francis Everitt of
      Stanford University and Harold Crabtree M.A.
 5. One wrote the definitive book on the subject and the other two read it.
 6. The relevant extract from the book is given below. (Spider published 4th March 1998)
 7. They do not credit the costermonger, with the definitive experiment,
      which proves the existence of the new force of nature.
 8. They do not accept that the novelty item was a valid experiment.
 9. They believe that the spider wheel was magnetized.
10. The costermonger did not magnetize the spider wheel, he exploited a force of nature.
11. The costermonger discovered, applied and sold the first working application.
12. There is an eye-witness account from 1850 by the author, which kindled his
      life-long interest.
13. The description was published in 1909, in the same book.
14. The force of nature has been missing for 150 years, since its discovery.
15. The first modern publication on the subject is spider, on 4th March 1998. (Usenet)
16. Attribution and due credit are two of the failings of modern science.

Drawing of a clockwork spider wheel and hairpin. 

Extract from Introductory Chapter;-
The "Spider tops," which are frequently sold in the streets of London, 
consist of a heavy little disc mounted on a spindle (Fig. XIV.). 
When the disc has been set spinning a small curved piece of 
metal is placed to touch the toe, and at once begins to slide round it, 
first the side (a) in the figure, and then the side (b), 
the motion continuing backwards and forwards till the top comes to rest. 
The fact is that the toe is magnetic, and this being the case it is easy 
to see that the rolling of the toe on the side of the metal produces 
the motion.

Spinning Tops and Gyroscopic Motion.

Big Bertha Thing fact

Anything but a fact, changes the face of twentieth century science.
1. No iron moons and planetary cores.
2. No red shift measure of speed.
3. No Patrick Moore star at 95% the speed of light.
4. Muons arrive on earth.
5. Relativity is like an imaginary number; useful but not real.
6. Einstein-Haas gives a field strength 1/10000th the electric field.
7. Wave particle duality is a field effect.
8. Schroedinger is an approximation.

Who has the wit to check the fact?
