[NewCandle] Martin Tajmar update

[Keith Nagel]

Hi John,

Thanks! What you wrote is in line with the paper I linked;
I can understand why Scott would hold off on this until
the primary researcher nails down the effect ( if any ).
It's intriguing that he's seeing the same rotational
anisotropy as the japanese researchers did some years
back... effect noted for clockwise rotation.

Hi Keith, All,

Sorry for my lack of involvement, there have been quite a few things I
would have liked to comment on, but I just don't have enough time these
days.

Yes I have heard from both Scott and Michael recently very briefly on
this topic.  I am sure there was nothing confidential in our exchange
and so I will pass on the gist of it.  They were very interested and
excited about the experiment at the start but as they delved into it
they found the data inconsistent and unconvincing.  They seem to have
mothballed the experiment until Martin (Tajmar) can provide them with
better data that seems worth the effort of replication.  Michael's dim
recollection is that the "Tajmar effect" apparently diminished by around
an order of magnitude with improvements in equipment - and Martin's
"Predictions" have adjusted to match the reduced signal (again as best
Michael can remember).  I have copied both Scott and Michael in this
post so that they may correct me in case I have misrepresented.

John
