Talk:Josef Papp

Untitled
The original 25 April 2005 version of this article by 24.77.215.216 -- which constitutes the bulk of the current version -- is a somewhat credulous story form of Papp's life and looks like it might well have been copied directly from another publication. This concerns me. --Wfaxon 08:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

The Feynman incident
Please ask the contributors who developed your very detailed article on Richard Feynman to confirm or deny whether any of what's alleged on this page actually happened. OtherDaveB (talk) 07:42, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

This item is very poorly researched: the Feynman story is completely true. For example, the person who was killed was Jack Edward Hartman of Mattel Toys. See Gardena Valley News and Gardena Tribune, 21st November 1968.

No, This should not be deleted. It could help other editors to expand the article. There was a mass market paperback written about the submarine for all intents and purposes does not exist anymore. I won't say if anything is a hoax or not because if it was a hoax this has to be one of the most elaborate single person created hoaxes there is. I submit that there might be a separate category of "unknown" or "undetermined". As an example, it is now understood that cavitation is a scientific based principle. And there are valid Soviet weapon systems i.e. torpedoes that are probably the same size as Papp's submarine. Maybe his submarine sort of worked, but not for the distances he claimed (or even the speed for that matter). I submit it's the same for the engine. It does run for a while, but it is unreliable. The inventor(s) might entirely be sincere (i.e. not purposefully trying to deceive), but do not understand the scientific principles they are working with!
