    The Patent Office
    At the Swiss Patent Office, Einsteins job was to consult with
    inventors. Only
    one of his written opinions on patent applications is left , the
    administrative
    documents having been routinely destroyed. This opinion is on an alternatingcurrent
    machine with short- circuit brushes and opposing auxiliary spools for
    spark prevention. Einstein off ers not a single good word for the patent
    claim:
    it is incorrect, inaccurate, and unclear. He also gave the
    requirements for a
    correct application: it should note only characteristics of the subject
    of the
    patent that are in the claim, and each par tic u lar embodiment should correspond
    to the main claim of the main patent and the claims of the actual
    patent.
    ? His advice did not help the inventor. A revised application was
    submitted
    two months later, but Einstein was still not satisfi ed with it.
    We have indirect evidence of a further case. A certain Ignacy Moscicki, inventor
    of a way to produce nitrogen acid from the atmosphere, of a new method
    of concentrating nitrogen acid and sulfuric acid, and of high power
    capacitors,
    submitted an application to the Swiss Patent Offi ce in 1906. It dealt
    with an arc furnace for the production of nitric acid, in which the arc
    was
    rotated by an electromagnet.? As the designated expert, Einstein was espechapter
    three
    Expert Opinions
    38 The Practical Einstein
    cially interested in why the electric arc changed its orientation in a
    magnetic
    fi eld. He gave a positive opinion of the application. The story, fi rst
    aired in
    1934,? was rediscovered by Zofi a Golab-Meyer.?
    That Moscicki and Einstein did meet in Bern is confi rmed by an exchange
    of letters in 1932. Einstein asked Moscicki for help in getting a
    position for an
    acquaintance of his. In the introductory sentences, he remarked that I
    know
    that you were originally a physical chemist, and I hear that even now
    you work
    as an or ga niz er for scientifi c and technological research. ? The
    letter was addressed
    To Mr. President of Poland Professor Dr. Moscicki. Moscicki, the
    successful inventor and scientist, returned to Poland in 1912, where he
    was
    named professor of chemical physics and technical electrochemistry at
    the
    Technical University of Lww (present- day Lviv, Ukraine), and in 1926
    was
    elected president of Poland.
    In reply, Moscicki emphasized the meager prospects in Poland for
    Einsteins
    protg, but he also mentioned that Einsteins letter gave him par tic u
    lar pleasure,
    because it reminded him of their meeting in Bern and later in Fribourg.?
    From Einsteins next letter we learn that he remembered their meeting
    with great satisfaction, especially the one in Fribourg with Kowalski.?
    The
    encounter in Bern may have been in the patent offi ce, but the
    University of
    Bern cannot be excluded either, for Einstein succeeded in getting the
    venia
    legendi (permission to teach) there around February 28, 1908, and he was Privatdozent
    there from April 21, 1908, to August 4, 1909. In May and June 1908, he
    also worked at the University of Fribourg in Professor Albert Gockels laboratory
    on his fi rst invention, an electrometer for small quantities of
    electricity
    (see chapter 4), and on May 24, 1909, he attended a physics colloquium
    there.?
    In addition, Professor Joseph Kowalski (Jzef Wierusz- Kowalski),
    professor
    of physics at the university, was interested in this electrometer,?? so
    there was
    ample opportunity to meet Moscicki, for he served as Assistent to
    Kowalski
    from 1896 to 1912.
    Three more patents are supposed to have gone through Einsteins hands:??
    an electrical typewriter with shuttle- type carrier,?? a gravel
    sorter,?? and a meteorological
    station controlled by ambient humidity.??
    Gyrocompasses
    Hermann Anschtz- Kaempfe, the inventor of the gyrocompass and own er of
    a
    gyrocompass factory in Kiel, Germany, sued the American Sperry
    Gyroscopic
    Expert Opinions 39
    Company.?? The competition between them had turned fi erce when, in
    1914,
    Sperry sold a compass to the German navy. Selling gyrocompasses was a
    promising
    business at the time. They could be used on ships, submarines, and
    airplanes,
    because metal structure does not distort their indication as it does
    with magnetic compasses. In addition, in the de cade before the First
    World
    War, Germany intended to build a navy comparable to or outrivaling
    Britains.
    One of the Anschtz patents allegedly infringed was DE182855,?? which
    protected the original design. Sperry claimed that the patent was void,
    for it
    was not new when compared to a previous patent of Marinus G. van den
    Bos.??
    The other patent that Anschtz claimed to be infringed, DE236200,??
    described
    a means of damping unwanted oscillations.
    The fi rst hearing of November 10, 1914, was adjourned, but the court
    advised the parties to choose an impartial expert living not far from
    Berlin
    in order to keep expenses low. The court submitted a list of potential
    experts,
    including Arnold Sommerfeld, professor in Munich, and Felix Klein,
    professor
    in Gttingen, who were coauthors of a book on gyroscopes.?? The fi rst
    name
    on the list was, however, Einsteins, perhaps because he was a Berliner,
    and the
    court selected him. A court experts duty was to answer questions
    impartially,
    to attend the proceedings, and to provide oral testimony.??
    The next hearing took place on January 5, 1915. Einstein failed to
    impress
    the court; he was not well prepared. To make his task easier, the court formulated
    four questions to be answered in a written report and presented at the
    next hearing:
    1. What are the physical principles of gyrocompasses?
    2. What are the diff erences between Anschtzs compass and other gyrocompasses, in par tic u lar the compass patented by Van den Bos as
    DE34513?
    3. What is the gist of the invention patented in DE236200; and did this invention make it possible to produce the fi rst, perfectly working gyrocompass?
    4. What are the similarities and diff erences between the Anschtz and
    Sperry compasses, and had Sperry made use of Anschtzs two
    inventions to such an extent that his compass was technically similar
    to Anschtzs compass?
    Einstein answered the questions on February 6, 1915.?? He gave a clear exposition
    of the principles of gyroscopes and gyrocompasses (question 1) and
    40 The Practical Einstein
    declared that Anschtz was the fi rst to produce the fi rst usable
    gyrocompass
    with damped oscillations (question 3), which he achieved in his second
    patent
    with a method better than Van den Boss. Einstein denied the novelty of Anschtzs fi rst patent, giving priority to Van den Bos (question 2).
    Finally, he
    declared that Sperry did make use of Anschtzs fi rst patent but
    doubted that
    the second was infringed (question 4), that is, he accepted Sperrys
    damping
    as an original idea.
    Apparently neither the court nor Anschtz was happy with Einsteins
    voting
    for Sperry. In the second hearing on March 26, Einstein did not convince
    the court with his opinion, so he was given two further questions.
    The fi rst question practically repeated the previous question 2, asking
    him
    to explain the relationship between Anschtzs and Van den Boss
    patents.
    The second question reformulated the earlier question 4: How far had
    Sperry
    made use of the ideas in Anschtzs two patents in his own compass
    delivered
    to the German navy?
    Einstein prepared a supplementary opinion on August 7.??
    Aft er a meticulous study of the patent specifi cations, he concluded
    that
    Anschtzs fi rst patent did indeed diff er from Van den Boss
    invention.
    To answer the second question, Einstein tested a Sperry compass. He
    confi rmed that Sperry made use of Anschtzs fi rst patent, but, in
    contrast
    to his fi rst opinion, he declared that the same is true for the second
    patent.
    This time he received no further questions, and the court decided in
    favor
    of Anschtz.
    Why did Einstein change his mind? Apparently he had not immersed himself
    in the case deeply enough. When in 1918 Anschtz asked him to serve as
    his private expert in another proceeding, Einstein expressed the self-
    critical
    hope that in the future the insuffi cient understanding of impartial
    experts
    would not cause damage to Anschtz and make him angry.??
    In this case, Anschtz- Kaempfe considered that a patent application of
    the
    Gesellschaft fr nautische Instrumente (GNI)?? infringed upon his patent DE241637.?? The GNI invention was an arrangement to avoid erroneous
    indication
    of gyrocompasses when the ship is rolling. He asked Einstein to serve
    as a private expert on his behalf?? and solicited an opinion from him on whether
    the method proposed by the GNI fell within the scope of protection of
    his patent
    or not.?? Einsteins opinion submitted on July 7, 1918, is not
    available. Apparently
    Anschtz was not satisfi ed with it, and he requested another one.??
    Expert Opinions 41
    Einstein began his second opinion with an analysis of how the motion of
    a
    ship infl uences the gyroscope (fi g. 3.1).??
    Let the rotating gyroscope be suspended from P by a solid rod a. If it
    swings
    between A" and A' in a plane to which its axis of rotation stays
    perpendicular,
    it will not change its direction. But if it swings perpendicular to the previous
    plane (between B" and B'), its axis of rotation will oscillate
    perpendicular to
    the plane of its swing, but the time average is zero. Consequently, the direction
    change will not present an insurmountable diffi culty in indicating the
    correct cruising direction.
    If, however, the gyro swings in a direction that is a combination of
    these
    two directions, a torque may appear that makes the gyroscopes axis of
    rotation
    rotate with respect to the vertical. Both the Anschtz and the GNI
    inventions
    aim to eliminate this eff ect.
    Anschtzs patent gives two ways to avoid or minimize this eff ect: to
    prevent swings from A" to A' (which is eff ectively the same as allowing
    only
    swings from B" and B'), or to use two or more gyroscopes with their axes
    not
    parallel to each other. If two gyros are mounted in a frame this way,
    any rotation
    Figure 3.1. Gyroscope motion.
    42 The Practical Einstein
    of the axes is prevented by inertial forces if the angle between the
    axes is kept
    fi xed by a nonrigid connection. The patent does not stipulate that the gyroscopes
    be horizontally arranged; the only requirements are that the resulting
    moment of all the gyros has a horizontal component on which gravitation
    acts
    and that the gyro axes be nonrigidly connected and not positioned
    parallel to
    each other. Einstein declared that the claims are expounded so clearly
    that, by
    following them, any engineer with a knowledge of the subject can build a
    usable
    gyrocompass.
    Then he turned to the GNI patent application. It also uses two
    gyroscopes
    with nonparallel axes and connected with a nonrigid connection, so it is evident
    that it falls within the main claim of the Anschtz patent. The only
    question
    left is whether its construction represents a technical improvement.
    Einstein said no.
    He concluded that the subject of the GNI application fell within the
    scope
    of protection of the Anschtz patent, and its specifi c features are
    neither novel
    inventions nor practical developments.
    Maybe the applicant succeeded in presenting arguments to prove that
    these specifi c features did represent novel invention; maybe the
    lawsuit took a
    diff erent course for other reasons. We do not know, because the
    documents of
    the court and patent administration are no longer available. We only
    know that
    Anschtz lost the case and that a patent,?? along with two additional patents,??
    was granted to GNI in 1918.
    The encounter was, however, not settled at this point. In the spring of
    1922,
    the manager of GNI, Professor Oscar Martienssen, approached Einstein and requested that he withdraw his opinion of 1918 because Anschtz intended
    to
    use it against GNI.?? He argued that Einsteins opinion was based on
    errors,
    and he wanted to avoid protracted and time- consuming discussions in
    various
    courts that would take Einsteins invaluable talent away from more
    important
    things. If Einstein agreed, there would be no need of attacking him in
    court. From the formulation, one may infer that Anschtz had lodged
    another
    suit against GNI.
    Martienssen called Einsteins attention to a mistake that he himself had
    made in an earlier publication,?? but later corrected.?? He also added
    that Richard
    Grammel followed the same erroneous considerations in his book on
    gyroscopes,
    ?? but later he also realized it was a mistake. Apparently Martienssen
    supposed that Einstein had relied on these publications when he prepared
    his
    opinion.
    Expert Opinions 43
    Martienssens second objection was that Einstein had given no reason why
    the patent application was dependent on Anschtzs patent. The Anschtz
    patent states explicitly that the invention refers to a supplementary
    gyro in the
    moving system and not to a system with a gyro for stabilizing the
    cardanic
    suspension. The GNI application, however, uses a stabilizing gyro.
    Furthermore,
    Anschtzs patent can be constructed using two auxiliary gyros but not
    with only one, with its axis perpendicular to the northward directing
    gyro.
    The spring that joins the two gyros is of fundamental importance for the Anschtz patent, whereas for the GNI application the vertical gyro is fi
    rmly
    mounted on the ground plate.
    You may rest assured, Martienssen added, that I feel terrible about
    writing
    these lines to you whom I sincerely hold in high esteem for your eminent achievements.
    Einstein did not understand the letter, simply because he did not
    remember
    the proceedings that had taken place four years earlier.?? He asked
    Martienssen
    for clarifi cation, forwarded Martienssens letter to Anschtz the same
    day,??
    and doubted that Martienssen was right, despite his arrogant tone. The following day, Martienssen replied to him and attached copies of the
    relevant
    patents,?? as well as a copy of Einsteins 1918 opinion. He also added a further
    objection: in his opinion, Einstein had explicitly stated that
    Anschtzs
    direction- indicating system was equipped with two or more gyroscopes
    and
    that in the patent of GNI the same system has only one gyro. Why was it
    then
    that in his further considerations Einstein mentioned two gyros in the
    GNI
    patent application? In it, the stabilizing gyro has nothing to do with
    the direction
    indication.
    The hearing began on April 11, 1922, in Kiel.?? On April 12 Einstein
    prepared
    a supplementary opinion, but it is not available. Anschtz won the
    case.??
    GNI submitted an appeal to the Higher Regional Court on June 9.
    Einstein prepared a second supplementary opinion.?? In the particulars
    of
    the appeal, he wrote, a patent was mentioned to demonstrate that there
    were
    patents on gyrocompasses with constructions similar to Anschtzs
    invention
    but had not been considered to infringe upon it.?? This patent did not
    include
    means to eliminate or minimize the rolling error. The opposite
    statements in
    the particulars are untrue.
    Then he refl ected on the opinions of two experts. The fi rst maintained
    that
    the GNI application had a specifi c feature that Anschtzs patent does
    not.
    Einstein replied that the same feature was explicitly described in it
    and that,
    44 The Practical Einstein
    at present, it is not the complete in de pen dence of the patents at
    stake but the
    question of whether the GNI patent is dependent on Anschtzs patent or
    not.
    He summarized his reply to the opinion of the second expert in three
    points:
    1. Anschtzs patent is the fi rst to realize that the rolling error
    depends
    on the swing period of the directional system around the gyro axis,
    and it is the fi rst to off er a means to avoid or signifi cantly reduce
    this
    error.
    2. The inspected instruments (apparently each fi rm presented one of its
    own) use gyroscopes to reduce swinging.
    3. In these instruments, the gyros that slow down the swing are not
    mounted directly on the base of the directional gyro but on a component
    part, which is connected to the others with rigid connection.
    Anschtzs patent would be already infringed if only the fi rst point
    were a
    feature of the GNI patent, but because all three points are shared by
    it, the
    GNI patent is technically the same as the Anschtz patent.
    There was a second session on July 10, 1922. Einsteins main role was as
    a
    bogeyman. ?? Anschtz won again. The last information on this suit is
    that
    the scoundrel did not get away with his tricks ?? an impolite and
    unjust
    remark from Einsteins pen for, as we saw, Martienssen was polite and
    raised
    clear technical objections to Einsteins opinion. While Einsteins fi
    rst reaction
    to Martienssens approach was to call his tone arrogant, we have ample evidence
    for Schells remark, that the impartial expert had long since become a
    good and thoroughly partial friend of Anschtz- Kaempfe and his fi rm.
    ??
    In Einsteins next case, the defendant was Franz Drexler, and again the plaintiff Anschtz- Kaempfe.?? Drexler, a trained pi lot, had been
    working on
    a gyrocompass with Anschtz and, aft er having left the company, tried
    to
    sell it through his newly founded company, the Kreiselbau Co. The
    invention
    was a gyrocompass for indication of vertical and horizontal turns of airplanes.??
    In his opinion of July 23, 1919, Einstein set out by explaining the
    behavior
    of a gyroscope that has two degrees of freedom (fi g. 3.2).??
    Let a gyroscope be mounted in an inner gimbal R, which can turn around
    axis BB in an outer gimbal G. Springs F restore the position of R
    whenever it
    is forced to leave the plane of G. Let the gyroscope be mounted on an
    airplane
    with the plane of G parallel to the wings. When the airplane gains or
    loses
    Expert Opinions 45
    height, R will not leave the plane of G, because its axis of rotation
    AA is
    shift ed parallel. When, however, the airplane turns to the right or
    left , R will
    step out of this plane by turning around BB and will keep the new
    position
    until the turn is fi nished. Einstein calls this arrangement the turn indicator.
    How can up and down turns be indicated? Maybe with a simple plumb line.
    Let us suspend such a line L in a plane P and keep P horizontal (fi g.
    3.3). Until
    they move uniformly, L and P will make a rectangle. If P is accelerated,
    L will
    lag behind, and so they will not stay perpendicular to each other. The
    same
    happens should P turn up or down.
    This simple pendulum cannot provide a precise indication of up and down
    turns, for it is possible that if the airplane is accelerated and turned downward
    at the same time, L and P could remain perpendicular. Let us call this
    device,
    as Einstein did, the plumb indicator.
    Now return to the gyrocompass and fi x R on G in a line lying higher
    than
    the center of mass of R and K. In addition, remove the springs F. By
    doing so,
    we combine a gyroscope and a plumb indicator, which, however, cannot
    indicate
    directly whether the airplane is turning or not. Einstein calls this a
    gyro
    pendulum.
    Aft er these preparatory considerations, Einstein answered fi ve
    questions
    put by the court. Because we do not have the original court document,
    and
    Einsteins answers do not follow the numbering of the questions, I can
    only
    summarize them.

    Anschtz & Co. vs. Kreiselbau
    Co., July 23, 1919. Courtesy
    Albert Einstein Archives, The
    Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
    46 The Practical Einstein
    Anschtzs patent consists of a gyro pendulum and a plumb indicator.??
    The
    indications of the two instruments must be compared to follow the fl
    ight on a
    general curve. Even though this is not the fi rst patent that indicates
    the change
    of orientation,?? it is the fi rst to indicate vertical turns.
    Anschtz can claim priority not in the application of a gyro pendulum
    but
    in the combination of this pendulum with the plumb indicator, and,
    because
    it is only this combination that can help fl ight in a curve, the patent represents
    technical progress of inventive importance.
    Drexlers patent follows the same principle as Anschtzs, Einstein
    continued:
    it makes use of two gyroscopes with horizontal axes (even though
    arranged
    as a turn indicator) and of a plumb indicator. Whether the plumb
    indicator
    is a separate device, as with Anschtzs, or it is the turn indicator
    itself
    that is turned into a plumb indicator as with Drexlers, makes no diff
    erence
    of principle. There is, however, a technical diff erence between them: Drexlers
    device indicates right and left turns directly, not as a diff erence
    between the
    indications of two instruments.
    Einstein felt that this opinion sounded obscure for the lawyers, so he
    appended an explanation, as he put it, in a freer form, an application
    of
    set theory.

    Expert Opinions 47
    Consider a plane P whose points represent all the possible technical realizations
    of all the patent inventions. The embodiments of a par tic u lar
    invention
    make a region G of this plane. Had the inventor a complete knowledge of
    all the embodiments of his invention, that is, of G, he should be
    considered as
    the only own er of them. He has, however, only a limited knowledge of G;
    there
    can be various technical embodiments of his idea of which he does not
    know,
    and which may have novel technical features. Such cases can be called dependent
    inventions. Whether such an invention may have some legal rights
    is a problem for lawyers.
    Drexlers patent is a dependent invention in this sense: dependent on Anschtzs patent, for it serves the same goal and uses the same
    gyroscopes,
    but it is a genuine invention, too, for it uses only one indicator in
    place of two,
    and so it produces its result more safely and with greater precision.
    Drexlers
    patent covers Anschtzs patent, but it does not copy or circumvent it.
    Neither parties were satisfi ed with Einsteins opinion. According to Anschtzs patent lawyer, Hugo Licht, it was not negligibly weak;?? therefore,
    Einstein was requested to fi nd new arguments in Anschtzs favor.
    Einstein called the director of regional court and explained that when
    he had formulated his opinion, he was staying in Switzerland and, upon returning to Berlin, he found documents that he had not been able to
    use.
    He would like to complete his opinion by taking them into
    consideration.??
    He submitted a supplementary opinion on October 9, 1919, of which only
    one
    paragraph is extant, quoted in Lichts letter to Anschtz.?? In it, he
    declares
    that it was Anschtzs patent that fi rst proposed a gyroscope with two
    degrees
    of freedom and with a horizontal axis of rotation to keep track of the direction change of the aircraft , and Drexlers turn indicator is also
    based
    on this idea.
    On the hearing of November 4, under the pressing questions of Drexler,
    Einstein admitted that if a pi lot had known of a paper published in
    1910 on
    a turn indicator,?? it would not have been necessary to wait for an
    invention.
    With this, he weakened the technical importance and priority of
    Anschtzs
    1917 patent. Licht explained Einsteins point by saying that an eminent scientist
    uses stronger criteria than a judge for what can be considered an
    invention.??
    Anschtz won the case, but Drexler appealed. Einstein was again proposed
    as an expert, but because the court expected a second expert who was
    well
    48 The Practical Einstein
    informed in both the theory of gyroscopes and the behavior of airplane
    during curved fl ight,?? Anschtz proposed two further candidates,
    Richard
    Grammel, professor at the Technical University of Stuttgart, and Ludwig Prandtl, professor of aerodynamics at the University of Gttingen, an international
    authority and pioneer in the theory of fl ight. Prandtl confessed that
    he could not qualify as a practical expert because he had never actually
    fl own,
    but he could not resist to add, When Professor Einstein, who certainly
    has a
    weaker knowledge of fl ight than I do, appears as an expert, that will
    be very
    interesting indeed.?? In the end, the court picked a third person, Hans
    Wolff ,
    an engineer at the German Test Institution for Aviation (Deutsche Versuchsanstalt
    fr Luft fahrt) in Berlin- Adlershof, as a fl ight expert partner of
    Einstein.
    In its session of January 7, 1922, the court solicited a comment on
    Wolff s
    opinion from Einstein, which he presented on January 18.?? Wolff s
    opinion is
    not available.
    Einstein essentially maintained his earlier opinion that Drexlers
    invention
    falls within the area of protection of Anschtzs patent, even though a
    British
    patent from 1916,?? not known to him when preparing his fi rst opinion,
    might
    restrict this area. He proposed a formulation of the specifi c novelty
    of
    Anschtzs patent that would stand even in this case as a clearly
    arranged
    combination of a gyro pendulum and an apparatus for indication of the
    direction
    of the apparent gravity.
    The case ended with a settlement out of court, and Kreiselbau retracted
    the
    appeal

    too much turkey?

    You don't have to read anymore..
    you just copy and paste
    and let ChatGPT read it for you...
    then prompt: gimme it in a nutshell


    CHATGPT:
    Albert Einstein worked at the Swiss Patent Office, where he provided
    expert opinions on patent applications.
    In one case, he criticized an alternating current machine, deeming its
    patent claim incorrect.
    Another case involved Ignacy Moscicki's application for an arc furnace,
    which Einstein approved.
    The story indicates that Einstein interacted with inventors, offering
    opinions and sometimes changing his stance.
    Additionally, Einstein was involved in a legal dispute between
    gyrocompass inventors Anschtz and Drexler, where he initially
    favored Anschtz but later faced challenges to his opinion. The case
    eventually settled out of court.



    Translation: They bribed Einstein and gave him patent credit.

    Tell that woman, "Jan" (why are so many Jans in that dumb newsgroup to
    begin with?), that what they did in that period had nothing to do with "Zionism", but an indirect support for communism. Jews wanted to take
    communism everywhere that people of European descent lived, to punish
    them with it. Rightfully so, too.

    50 F-16 fighter jets in Ukraine wins the war.

    Upload 50 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine and get this war over with for victory to Ukraine. F-16 is the gamechanger-- it blows up trenches and destroys Russian airspace. Russia is defeated against the F-16.

    I do not know if China is defeated against F-16s, and maybe someone in the military can voice opinion on this.

    ███۞███████ ]▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▃ Radio Wave & Laser Rifle to shoot down GLONASS and BeiDou satellites

    Xi masses troops on Russian border to take back Outer Manchuria of the Qing dynasty. If you do not know the history, Russia stole Outer Manchuria and Vladivostok from China.

    While Putin is too busy with his personal war, Xi thinks time is ripe to get back what belongs to China in the first place. OUTER MANCHURIA and especially Vladivostok.

    Xi gives the Chinese people a Christmas gift--- Outer Manchuria-- the beloved Old China

    I am not positive we can take out GLONASS and BeiDou from ground based radio and microwaves and laser waves, even jamming.

    But I am certain that we can put a satellite in orbit that is a wrecking ramming satellite that does take out GLONASS and BeiDou. I am certain of this because several countries have robotic satellites that maintenance their fleet of satellites. And to
    this end, we need such a wrecking ball satellite immediately up there.

    Satellite RIFLE to shoot down GLONASS, Iran,and BeiDou satellites.
    Hooray

    Hooray!! End the Ukraine war

    Easiest way to end the Ukraine invasion by Russia, start felling GLONASS satellites, fell them directly with radar laser pulses or jam them to fall.

    Now I thought GLONASS Russian satellites numbered in the thousands, for the Internet is lousy on this question of how many satellites, for recently BBC was vague with a estimate of 600 satellites, yet another web site said 42,000. But apparently only 24
    are operational for GLONASS. And my take on this is that satellites are precarious vessels and easily for something to go wrong and be inoperative. All the better to look for flaws in engineering to down all 24 GLONASS Russian satellites.

    So, easy easy Achilles tendon in all of the Russian ICBM military strategy, for knock out the 24 and you in a sense, knock out the entire Russian ICBM arsenal, for they no longer have any navigation.

    And if the West is on its top shape and form in technology, we want the West Scientists to figure out how to intercept the Russian ICBM and cause it to fall upon Russia and explode upon Russia.

    Get the best electronics and electrical engineers of the West to figure out how to cause all Russian launched and Chinese launched ICBMs to explode on home territory.

    Caveat: if the West can do it, mind you, the Chinese and Russians will want to steal those secrets from the West and that should never be allowed--Ultimate Top Secret classification that not even a punk weirdo president like Trump cannot see, nor mention
    to him for he would likely sell it for a golf course in some foreign enemy country.

    The BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS; Chinese: 北斗卫星导航系统; pinyin: Běidǒu Wèixīng Dǎoháng Xìtǒng) is a Chinese satellite navigation system. It consists of two separate satellite constellations. The first BeiDou system,
    officially called the BeiDou Satellite Navigation Experimental System and also known as BeiDou-1, consisted of three satellites which, beginning in 2000, offered limited coverage and navigation services, mainly for users in China and neighboring regions.
    BeiDou-1 was decommissioned at the end of 2012. The second generation of the system, officially called the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) and also known as COMPASS or BeiDou-2, became operational in China in December 2011 with a partial
    constellation of 10 satellites in orbit. Since December 2012, it has been offering services to customers in the Asia-Pacific region.

    In 2015, China launched the third generation BeiDou system (BeiDou-3) for global coverage. The first BD

    Jan

    Most people are not aware that the word Zionism actually stands for...genocide.

    You are back-projecting.
    Remember that Einstein and Weizmann founded Hebrew University back in
    1918. Yes, that is 1918, less thatn a year after Jerusalem had been
    taken by the British.
    The idea that a state would be possible just didn't exist at the time.

    The desire for a Jewish university is quite understandable,
    given the strong anti-semitism and discrimination
    practiced in academia all over the western world.
    (until well after WWII)
    Jews were discriminated against for faculty appointments,
    and a 'numerus fixus' for Jewish students was nearly universal.
    Eistein and Weizmann had a strong desire to establish
    at least one university where Jews would not be discriminated against.

    Remember that even Richard Feynman was refused entrance at
    Columbia University because their quota of Jews was full.

    Jan


    The quota of Jewish people on EARTH is full, ask God. God invented anti-semitism, not people.
