SEG is Anti Gravity. Maybe if physicists would learn outside of the texts and go with people like Dan Winter that have an actual realization of gravitation being caused by fractal charge collapse (Implosion), they might eventually realize that gravity is centripetal force, anti would most likely be centrifugal force.

I admire the guy tremendously, but the "floating globe airship" looks absolutely horrid. If ever built, the idea will be hijacked by the media industry and be another Orwellian version of a just another damnable advertising medium... Floating billboards - instead of round, box-like. Just awful. Is that what the world needs more of??
the ball seems like it could easily fall into wrong hands. I could see it being used for espionage or advertising. What we really need is a floating nike shwish lighting up the night.
if he were interested in livers I'd say he's not normal; interest in genitalia whether female or male would indicate sexuality, which if you don't experience would mean YOU are not normal.
My rich uncle has a flying diamond bottom lake with it's water composed of unicorn tears and the island is made of candy. It's okay I guess, I much rather spend my time in the moon castle made from platinum. it has a horse track inside that we use for racing dragons.
He was; classic stage fright symptoms. He has since learned about beta-blockers. Now he is much more himself on stage, for example in the pendulum interview he appears quite comfortable.
You have two choices left: You leave this PLANET and leave alone the many indigenous that lives in harmony with NATUR or else you get toasted for you ash to fertile the land.
why arent we using magnetic field? why drive a car and polllute the enviroment??? This technology should have been implemented long time ago. Its the elites intrest to dominate the world and the people. its the legislature and laws which don't serve citiznes but only the rich and priveledge. america its time to wake up. you had a good number of years with history to be proud of until CIA and private intrest sold the world into submission war and injustice
I don't know the correct answer, but I do know that one million kilowatts is one gigawatt, which is about one quarter of the energy consumption of New York state. If your balloon is eating up that much electricity, you've got some serious problems. Plus there's no way it's going to be powered by anything "green" or "renewable", as he claimed.
Even one thousand kilowatts (ie a megawatt) would be crazy. He's at least a few orders of magnitude off in his calculations.
Its funny how it starts off reasonable, then he just goes on a rant about a travelling sphere full of musicians who go to rave parties. The sculptures were interesting though. He talks too fast, nervously.
I think who have associated many positive virtues with the word art when anything that even a single person finds creative, communicating in a intellectual or emotional way...etc is really art. There's nothing great about the word art or being an artist, I don't know how we ended up there. People who flip hamburgers at mcdonlands are cooks too, you know, it still means nothing.
There's good and shitty art though. We can judge that to some extent by examining the intellectual and creative effort
Art is art, and these days anything is art. But it doesn't mean it's really good. To me, a painting of a person is more of art than someone putting paint on their breasts and pushing them against a canvas (a woman does this, and then she paints random things like bees around the two circles which I could easily have done using anything round like a rubber ball) I measure art depending on how much talent is needed to create it, or how much creativity was needed. And on how good it looks.
And to all you stupidass shit-talkers on here, why don't you become an artist, make some artistic things or other scientifically intriguing objects, make a video of it, post it here and if it's as nice as this guy's art, I'll shut the fuck up. Hey, how about, even if it's half as nice, I'll shut up. Can't do it? No, because you're some random faggot shit-talking other people on a video, that's why.
Because we think modern art, especially impressionism and abstract *shudders*, is complete bullshit. Telling us to shut up has a name... oh, what do we call it... ah, yes, fascism! Fucking fascist...
Once again, I'm willing to bet all I'd have to do to be considered an "artist" is to drop a crucifix in a jar, piss on it, and then mix it with a little blood. Ah yes, I do believe that's called Piss Christ (another "artistic" piece).
Ever since a soup can became art, all the rules went out the window. Smearing shit on a canvas, no matter how much the artist in question lacks any talent, is now considered art.
If these pieces were smaller and used as paper weights, they'd no longer be art...
Yes I have a problem with that as well. I'm in advanced art classes in my school, and they always tell me all these rules I gotta follow. Then if a painting doesn't seem to follow the rules, they stretch the rules so it does. Like my teacher said every painting has to have one object stand out. I beg to differ with that. Plenty of paintings which have about the same sized objects in them. Art is art, it should float. Unless you're not doing it from the heart, which is the only time I sketch.
sabertooth1980: I think he is trying to show how important and intricate gravity and the physiology of the earth and the moon as well as the ratios and symmetry involved with round objects rellating back to mathematics..... all of these examples are anomalies of astronomy as well as chemistry..... very interesting with the "orb" looking ship... wonder if he will be using a type of new gravity propulsion of some kind to power it... excellent work tho, magnets are crazy
The majority of you assholes should die right now just for being absolutely fucking retarded. This is one artist and he showed some pretty interesting ideas and concepts. No it doesn't solve the world's problems. No they probably don't have a lot of useful practical application (neither does the Mona Lisa), but artistically it's interesting to look at and aesthetically it looks very pretty.
Magnets don't "suck" energy. He clearly said that it was a permanent magnet. That means it requires NO energy to create its magnetic field. That's what makes it "permanent."
We are running out of landfills to dump these and other "permanent" art works, Can you provide us your location and detail address of your home place?
I see how people like you need to lie to make others seem narrow minded. I never said anything of the sort in your "quote". You made it up to make me look bad. Frankly, I've never written a comment with such horrible grammar and poor word choices.
You have no idea what you are talking about. It doesn't take a lot of energy to make an extremely strong neodymium magnet. They are made of elements found in rocks and are non-toxic.
Absolutely amazing concepts! I could actually see this in the future as a usable and beautiful thing, but at the same time it seems so unfeasible because we are lacking good utility in many aspects of the world. Overall, breathtaking to imagine!
Mr. Shannon has many intriguing novel ideas--how original for a change!
Really interesting Art and Science, not the same old boring stuff. It takes courage and commitment to follow your own path and then put it out there in public. Bravo!
magnetic trains, new technologies etc can be inspired by this. You people write as if artists were nothing more than trash men. You're a damned fool if you think that way.
Your comment doesn't belong here seyoumeye. But one day you'll sit back and realize that your "save the environment" movement only alive because governments, companies and some individuals realized that it is the next best thing to make more money out of. So find the appropriate video for your "the end is near" comment and post it there. Thank you
seyoumeye Go find yourself a tree hugger buddy to chat with, I am not interested of your views. Trying to insult me over the internet while you're half a world away will only makes me laugh at you more.
Stop blaming governments & its puppet greedy psychopath members whom are engaged in profiting out of the environment destruction. It is time we take all "responsibilities" of our actions and reflect upon how OUR life-style is affecting the health of our planet- art and entertainment industries are here to destruct us from what is really happening around us- I know some of you are enclosed forever to live in big cities where Nature is merely a patch of green grass- Think!
...and who do you think is funding and advertising the (anti greener) Art industry - that is devouring the mind of the youth in exchange of wealth accumulation and prosperity while the planet is left to bleed to death?
Obviously the many parasites behind such ART industry are too busy producing SHIT to let their busy consumer EAT SHIT!
We could drop some of the heavier pieces on top of baby seals, shortening their suffering a bit... or distract Al Gore for a while, and not have to hear anymore about it (at least here in the states) ^.^
OH, or get enough of the junk together in one container, and just keep shifting said container under the current hole in the ozone layer, reflecting both heat off of us and letting any extraterrestrials that might happen by know that we are the leaders of making shit that we call art. Woot!

The majority of you assholes should die right now just for being absolutely fucking retarded. This is one artist and he showed some pretty interesting ideas and concepts. No it doesn't solve the world's problems. No they probably don't have a lot of useful practical application (neither does the Mona Lisa), but artistically it's interesting to look at and aesthetically it looks very pretty.

So violent. No one here is "fucking retarded" We just have different opinions from yours, and you feel threatened by that.
Sure, some people could express their opinions better, but so could you.

So fucking bullshit, how many amount of energy does that super magnetic sucks???
No good for men 4 now baby

Magnets don't "suck" energy. He clearly said that it was a permanent magnet. That means it requires NO energy to create its magnetic field. That's what makes it "permanent."

scholzie,
We are running out of landfills to dump these and other "permanent" art works, Can you provide us your location and detail address of your home place?

I see how people like you need to lie to make others seem narrow minded. I never said anything of the sort in your "quote". You made it up to make me look bad. Frankly, I've never written a comment with such horrible grammar and poor word choices.
You have no idea what you are talking about. It doesn't take a lot of energy to make an extremely strong neodymium magnet. They are made of elements found in rocks and are non-toxic.
Get a life. Go eat something gluten free.

Absolutely amazing concepts! I could actually see this in the future as a usable and beautiful thing, but at the same time it seems so unfeasible because we are lacking good utility in many aspects of the world. Overall, breathtaking to imagine!

Mr. Shannon has many intriguing novel ideas--how original for a change!
Really interesting Art and Science, not the same old boring stuff. It takes courage and commitment to follow your own path and then put it out there in public. Bravo!

magnetic trains, new technologies etc can be inspired by this. You people write as if artists were nothing more than trash men. You're a damned fool if you think that way.

Beside entertaining the corporate psychopath CEOs, can anybody tell me how this "art" can save the environmental destruction we are facing?
seyoumeye 2 years ago
Your comment doesn't belong here seyoumeye. But one day you'll sit back and realize that your "save the environment" movement only alive because governments, companies and some individuals realized that it is the next best thing to make more money out of. So find the appropriate video for your "the end is near" comment and post it there. Thank you

seyoumeye Go find yourself a tree hugger buddy to chat with, I am not interested of your views. Trying to insult me over the internet while you're half a world away will only makes me laugh at you more.

Stop blaming governments & its puppet greedy psychopath members whom are engaged in profiting out of the environment destruction. It is time we take all "responsibilities" of our actions and reflect upon how OUR life-style is affecting the health of our planet- art and entertainment industries are here to destruct us from what is really happening around us- I know some of you are enclosed forever to live in big cities where Nature is merely a patch of green grass- Think!

Blame? There was no blame, try understanding what you read. Maybe you should "think" before writing.

wait... the art industry is to blame? ....

...and who do you think is funding and advertising the (anti greener) Art industry - that is devouring the mind of the youth in exchange of wealth accumulation and prosperity while the planet is left to bleed to death?
Obviously the many parasites behind such ART industry are too busy producing SHIT to let their busy consumer EAT SHIT!

We could drop some of the heavier pieces on top of baby seals, shortening their suffering a bit... or distract Al Gore for a while, and not have to hear anymore about it (at least here in the states) ^.^
OH, or get enough of the junk together in one container, and just keep shifting said container under the current hole in the ozone layer, reflecting both heat off of us and letting any extraterrestrials that might happen by know that we are the leaders of making shit that we call art. Woot!

Are You People INSANE? Im In NO WAY Selling This Man Short Of His Genius. I'm Just Stating MY Opinion On This Public Forum. Truth Is, It Probably Would Take Me Years To Create One Of His Sculptures. BUT, If This Was Called, TEDsculptures... I Wouldnt Have Commented On His Speaking Skills. But Its Not... Its Called TEDtalk.
