End of a previous comment that has relevance to future endevours ...

So, just as those "defining" the meter in 1795, we should not now be surprised when we see encoding "knowledge from the ancients" that we ourselves are now only uncovering as they are inherent behaviours in nature - and form part of the overall wheelworks of nature that have so often shown their presence, if only sometimes indirectly, in experiments of the past.

To which I would like to draw the readers attention to a "fraudster" of the late 19th Century - one John Ernst Worrell Keely , who claimed to have discovered a new motive power which was originally described as "vaporic" or "etheric" force, and later as an unnamed force based on "vibratory sympathy", by which he produced "interatomic ether" from water and air.

Was he really a fraudster, or just someine who recognized the forms and outlines of "something" in nature that formed a part of the overall wheelworks? Perhaps it is time to look more favourably and more kindly again upon Mr. Keely and recognize that he was, indeed, "on to something" but that it was a reality that was always just beyond his grasp, rather than as someone who was a direct out-and-out charlatan and fraudster. Perhaps if he had only more readily shared and socialized his ideas, but then, we will never know for sure.

What we can say, however, is that trying to "go it alone" is ultimately an exercise in futility and that freely sharing is, indeed, "the way to go"
