Angle Light Ascends to God Light
the North Bay inventor said he has reconfigured his see-through-walls Angel Light and used it to reverse Parkinson’s disease symptoms in one patient, shrink and eliminate breast cysts in another, reduce the size of cancer tumours in lab mice, regenerate plant growth, and hasten seed germination.
Unfortunately, it no longer can be used to see through walls. He's offering 20,000 dollars to anyone that can disprove his claims, though!

"Shouldn't it be more like he needs to prove his claims???"
No, no, no. Remember what Carl Sagan said: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
So presumeably, totally ludicrous claims need totally ludicrous evidence.
Perhaps I should offer a $20000 prize for anyone who can prove to me that the world isn't flat? Of course, *I* get to decide if they've succeeded or not.
It's miles cheaper that way!  |

Soooo, did he completely give up the one that could see through walls???? I suppose it is for the best, who would want a machine that will enable the user to see through walls.... |

Please tell me that was sarcasm.
One thing that Troy has definitely discovered is a press that will print any stupid unsubstantiated bullshit he comes up with. |

There is also a "part two" to the article, here they both are:
Part One:
http://www.baytoday.ca/content/news/details.asp?c=8267
Part Two:
http://www.baytoday.ca/content/news/details.asp?c=8271
More of the same formula, which by now is familiar to anyone who's followed the original "Angel Light" thread: a bunch of earth-shaking, unsubstantiated claims, a bunch of anonymouse "experts" etc. All spoon-fed to the credulous and would-be scooper Phil Novak.
Phil BTW is either part of an elaborate and sustained hoax or is the world's dumbest journalist working for the world's dumbest editor working for the worst "news"paper ever. The fact that they keep printing this junk is either hilarious or outrageous.
I'm endlessly amused by Troy, but as far as baytoday.ca goes I'm either amused to the point of hilarity or incensed, depending on whether they're hoaxing or just plain ol' rotten journalists.
In other related news, I saw Troy in yet another "documentary:" the Max-X TV show of the world's all-time dumbest dudes. Guess who placed in the #1 spot? Right! Our man Troy! World's #1 dumbest dude according to the experts at Max-X! Admittedly this doesn't prove anything, but then again neither do the Discovery Channel "documentaries."
Here's a "God Light" radio interview:

Here's good one-stop-shopping for the Hurtubise junkie:
http://www.americanantigravity.com/hurtubise.shtml
Troy's claims keep escalating. In order to get his next attention fix he'll have to claim he's *talking* to god. Or maybe that he *is* god. |

I wish I could say that this kind of pseudo-scientific "reporting" was limited to Bay Today. Unfortunately, it isn't.
Just the other night, my local Fox affiliate, KPTV, Channel 12 out of Portland, OR, ran a story about a "picture" of Jesus Christ as a child.
Half-expecting them to whip out a snapshot of Jesus from his prom night, I waited for the actual story.
What they finally told their audience was that some guy in Italy took the "face" from the Shroud of Turin and, using that software police employ to "age" pictures of kidnapped children in reverse, produced a "picture" of what Jesus *might* have looked like as a child.
I shouldn't have to tell you what's wrong with this entire idea, but I will on the off chance that you aren't familiar with the REAL history of the Shroud.
First, the Shroud is a medieval-era forgery. This has been established via carbon dating of some threads taken from the Shroud. This fact alone invalidates the entire "reverse aging" process.
Secondly, the typical picture of Christ seen in Western countries depicts him as a caucasian, which is of course absurd, given the geographical area in which Christ lived.
Third, "aging" is far from an exact science. The software is only good for giving you an idea of what a person *might* look like at a certain age.
I wouldn't be in the least surprised to see Troy's amazing used-to-be-able-to-see-through-walls-but-can't-anymore-but -now-can-cure-cancer device on KPTV's "news" show any night soon. |

Pretty amazing what passes for "news" these days.
I saw an article somewhere showing how the Shroud could have been forged even in Christ's time...something to do with vinegar and letting the sun bleach the material? Can't remember exactly...it might have been on this site actually.
Remember that clown from The Guardian who "sourced" the bay Today Angel Light article? I just sent him an email informing him that he could still be the first major news source to scoop the God Light, which passes for something funny and constructive to do if you're warped like I am. |

Troy Hurtubise's "fire paste" was a ligitimate invention. Now, with his almost certainly phony claims of a light that can see through walls and even cure diseases in the hopes of becoming known around the world, in my eyes he has become an iligitimate figure in science. |

sad thing is not that this man, Troy Hurtubise, has made these claims, rather the sad thing is when people like you sit and mock what you dont know. Im not the religious type, from the looks of it i wouldnt say any of you were either. Yet you seem to follow in its same footsteps. The dogma displayed is alive in your views. why not open your mind to the thought that we (as humans) know alot less about this universe than we think we know. Take a chance a delve into the unknown and try and understand it rather than dismiss it simple because it doesnt fit in the perfectly intricated blue print that society has created. Intelligence is not measured on how much you know, rather it is measured by your understanding and realization of your own ignorance. |
Totally rad!

just a guy with an open mind, your mind is so open that your brains seem to have fallen right out of your head. No one is saying that Troy's claims are impossible, they're saying that without meeting basic rigor, and replication, that he has no right to make any claims at all. Real scientists talk to other real scientists first, and unless you see quotations from a peer reviewed journal, you're probably reading about an attention seeker, spouting psuedo-science to a half-wit journalist. There is also the very real posibility that he's just drumming up publicity for the auction that will follow. |

My cousin grew up with this guy -- and from a very young age he has been a flake, con-artist, mooch and a drop-out. Seems to us that he is trying every possible angle to bilk someone into "investing" some money with him so that he can live for a while longer before having to get himself a real job. His Grizzly documentary is the stupidest thing I have ever seen -- unforseen obstacles and bad luck my ass -- this guy would fudge his huggies if he ever saw a picture of a bear let alone had to face one -- he never had intention of doing this ... |
