Time travel thread, Hey ho let's go!

I posted a link that actually argues in favour of an ionic-wind effect. Yes it was wikipedia, but it then goes on to post it's references:

At least the first of these papers appeared in a peer reviewed scientific journal. One that would certainly not approve the statement that the earth's gravity is actually a magnetic field caused by it's rotation. We could test that of course, by submitting such a claim to the journal in question.

I like the ionic wind theory and effect. It is cool and interesting and I have learned something today. No thanks to you, other than by happen chance, I suspect.

El Guapo is right, this is probably a boring conversation for most people reading this, Tynan, edscoble, Sainsbury's Ed, horatio etc excepted. I am more than happy to move this over to a new thread, if you fancy carrying this on?

The only reason it's boring is because it's not an intelligent debate. If you want to seriously discuss and debate the topic go for it, I would love to listen.
