This can always turn out to be a social experiment and they are simply waiting for some crazy guy to show up with loads of money to sponsor them. Or studying meme-spreading... or something like that.

Wow mass spammings has commenced on the steorn boards. Seems one guy is a complete idiot. He slags both those for and against this claim even though he's against it himself. The spammer vowes to return every night till Steron replies, otherwise there will be droves of spamm waiting for the Steorn admins.

Looks like the spammers won...

When you attempt to access the forums page the following error is thrown up:

Or maybe not. The forum seems to be working now. Helpfully, it allowed me to see a post about http://web.archive.org/web/20010303074205/http://www.steorn.com/index.html

Might help to clear some things up.

Hey, havent seen anybody post this, it's an article from Wired.com. Hope this is a game, but seems like it might actually be real. Great way to start a game if it isn't though.

It was on wired yesterday, saw it before i saw this thread, looks like it was put up on Monday 21st anyway.

still don't think this is an ARG and the number of bogus scientists registering is only clogging up the system, but hey - I'm bored so...

I did some google caches:

Japanese patents?

Perhaps - just perhaps... someone else developed the technology and is using them to push it. I'm still not fighting the idea, I would love for it to be true - screw laws of physics ... laws are meant to be broke and when it comes to physics the reason that many things become laws is because an idea is proven or can't be disproven - at least until someone realizes another way to approach the problem, then all the possibilities in the world open up. Look at the world is flat issue, yeah we know it is bogus - but everything they had available to them at the time told them it was flat and everything evolved around the world - we learned different eventually when we gained more knowledge. And one thing to remember about energy, energy exists in all things - be it motion, heat, whatever - but two areas that continue to baffle scientists to explain is magnetism and gravity. What great energy could hold so much to the earth when physics would show that if you spin something around, loose objects on it are going to move away from the object. We haven't defined gravity enough to know whether or not there is an untapped energy potential there. Oh and I know I'm going to be called ignorant, I don't care Smile

Note that although this site (http://tinyurl.co.uk/kbga) uses different logos etc and is based at a different address it does share one major similarity: Sean McCarthy - CEO on both sites, new (infinite energy) and old (assisting companies in e-commerce projects).

I was looking at the press coverage page and noticed that they have emptied it. I tried the press releases area and followed a link to a compo they sponsored and Sean McCarthy was an adjudicator of: http://www.dit.ie/DIT/industry/studententerprise/guidelines.pdf

D(ublin) I(nstitute) of T(echnology) seems to be too legit to be involved in a made-up company... Confused

Also, maybe I'm reading too much into this but the pdf mentions that prizes would be presented on 9th March 2006 whereas Steorn don't congratulate the winner, Blackhawk (or Nighthawk as per the DIT site), until August.

Hey guys, been watching this for a few days now. Didn't see that anyone posted this, so I guess I will:

Anyone think we are supposed to crack it? Confused

Oh, and in case u haven't seen it, this was just stickied in their forums:
