I will be conducting the 1-day Gravity Modification Workshop on Friday, August 8, 2014, here in Denver, Colorado. The Workshop brochure is here http://www.iseti.us/pdf/(00)GMWorkshop(2014-07-15).pdf.

One can expect to take away,

1. A good understanding of :
   1. The physics and some of the engineering for gravity modification.
   2. Some of the fallacies in contemporary physics that has hampered the discovery of gravity modification physics to date.
2. A DVD containing:
   1. The PowerPoint presentation of this Workshop
   2. The Excel worksheets that were developed to discover this new physics

To cover costs, the minimum class size is 5, and registered participants will be notified as soon as we reach this minimum.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely
Benjamin T Solomon

Automakers intending to bring driverless cars to market need to work as much on software design as mechanical engineering, the researcher leading Nissan Motor Co.’s automated-vehicle program said.

Making cars that are “deliberative” in assessing road conditions, rather than just reactive, requires artificial intelligence, Maarten Sierhuis, director of Nissan’s Silicon Valley research center in Sunnyvale, California, said in an interview. The carmaker, which aims to sell vehicles that can drive themselves by 2020 or sooner, is developing software to read and filter sensor data much as a human brain does, he said.

“What the auto industry has to come to is a shift from thinking about the car as a physical, mechanical system,” Sierhuis said in an interview Tuesday during the Automated Vehicles Symposium in San Francisco. “Autonomy, autonomous systems, is about understanding how humans do that, and then replicating it with software.”
