Well this is it. I try not to post my web stuff, and if I say "check my web" as I did with initially replying to Paradigmer I didn't then post my web link, I assumed he knew the web icon, what that's for. But its gold when someone does post their work if it is good.

I have to be honest, work like mine is best not promoted, not because its bad, yet because it suggests something physics has not anticipated...its confrontational...almost, without being, I hope. Besides, I'm not a spot-light person, far from it. I'm hoping my work will be considered "in the end", when everything else has been considered. This website though has its pearls.

The thing is, science and research is fought tooth and nail, its a very very hard business, a very very hard time collecting data, and so on.

Lets just say someone comes along who is really good at putting data together in an abstract way....that person is not fitting the normal profile of a physicist.

I'm out of my own league when facing physicists, despite knowing physics, as my papers, equations, theories, and general scope show.

I'm an anomaly. My only hope in that great audience of work and development is to explain how I could do what I have done, and still do.

So, I don't know. I think at best I should focus on philosophy, logic, how the mind can rationalise time and space. Medicine is my background, and that's how I approached Medicine from day one in the late 80's, namely a holistic approach to understand how the human body not only interacts with its environment biologically, yet as sentient being with choice.

Lets say the only credit I get is the ability to put together a jigsaw of physics using a new a-priori.

I'm great at jigsaws and thinking outside the square.

There's no profession for that today in physics...…….so I do what I can.

I still don't know how I'm selling something here.

What if I took a new idea in this new ideas section and thought, "yes, that could work".....could I tell anyone I made money from that?

Who's done that, successfully?

Seriously.

That's nonsense.

Ok, lets do an audit of physicists in history who've had their stuff taken from them. These guys would have said to God, "why, God, allow these people to steal from me", right?

Or what, there's no faith? It's just brutal theft?

What if God said... "you really think they've got it"?

The topic subject is open to many possibilities of faith and scientific ability.

When did science officially stop getting the attention of the Church?

Isn't that the question?

It was only a few centuries ago science found itself beyond religious condemnation......but does that secure complete trust?

The great new "idea" today regarding belief in life is not in the sun but the stars.

Who can doubt that......the hope, the belief, of life in the stars?

Anyone?

WE have no physical proof.....yet we still search with the style of belief for life out there.....right?


How did that happen?

How did we start believing in life in the stars?

We have a perfectly good planet here, yet what has made us think life is in the stars? What was the "starter" idea, or is it still on the fence?

How many stars are out there?


And we need help? We're like babies in a canoe when we look for life in the stars. Is that humanity?


So, when science aims to seek life in the stars, what is science doing|?

what God, what religious dogma, is being exercised?

Why are you multi-posting? You could have just gone back and edited all of these statements into a single post, you know.
