July 19, 2012 - PRLog -- Research and development engineer, Marshall Barnes taped an interview with TV and radio personality, Joshua P. Warren, last night for Warren's nationally syndicated radio program, Speaking of Strange, which will air Saturday, July 21st, at 9PM EST and 10PM PST. It was an important opportunity for Warren to ask Marshall about a wide range of topics, some standard to Marshall's reputation, and some not as well known.

The interview began with a discussion of invisibility research that Marshall has been involved with since 1994, revealing that Marshall has developed it past the point that he can discuss for National Security issues. Marshall indicated that the downside of that kind of research is that it is only really useful for military or surveillance applications. Warren revealed that he had seen a video where Marshall had a device that made people on the other side appear to go invisible and that it looked as if people walking past them could be seen right through them. Marshall indicated that if the U.S. military approached him about various applications, that he could make things like attack helicopters invisible, but also indicated that there are limits and constraints to what can be done. He revealed as well that the reason that other researchers, working with metamaterials, aren't as far along is because he actually researches invisibility and they are simply trying to find something "sexy" to do with metamaterials.

Warren next asked about Marshall's project to create Tesla's Wall of Light, something that was an idea of Tesla's but that he never was able to accomplish. Marshall went into some detail as to the concept not being a bank of lights, but a wall made of reflected light that blocks out everything else in sight.  Tesla had some ideas on how to effect the light which might then enable manipulation of space and time. Marshall said that he didn't attempt anything like that, but that there might be some parallels between that and the research of Ronald Mallett of the University of Connecticut with a rotating laser beam design intended to twist space and time on a small scale.

Warren brought up the bet that Stephen Hawking made against the Higgs Boson, and Marshall confirmed that he had in fact answered that bet with a press release and that Hawking lost. Hawking claims his official bet was with Gordan Kane of the University of Michigan and Marshall contends that he emailed Hawking as well as his assistant that he would accept the bet and raise it by $900, but didn't get a response - so he posted his email to Hawking, and his acceptance, in a press release that has been online since September 17, 2008.

"I felt so strongly that Hawking was wrong that I wanted it to be on the record," he stated, adding that he has caught so many other mistakes that Hawking has made that he knew the odds would be in his favor http://www.prlog.org/11914207-higgs-boson-announcement-sh... .

Other topics included Marshall's research into technologies that will reduce stress during trips to and living on the surface of Mars, and his planned video art, sci-fi fantasy reality web TV show - with connections to themes that Fox TV's FRINGE seems to have synchronistically  borrowed from his life. All of this reflects Marshall's long, eclectic and extensive background in worlds such as the entertainment business, techno art, physics research and consciousness studies http://informalscience.org/member/show/8498 .

Joshua P. Warren is a semi-regular guest on the number one, over night radio program, Coast To Cast AM, as well as having his own paranormal show on the Travel Channel. He's also made appearances on TV programs on the Discovery Channel, is a published author and the owner of his own multimedia production company, Shadowbox Enterprises, LLC.  Episodes of the Speaking of Strange program are archived on the program's web site,  http://www.speakingofstrange.com .
