Photon on the periodic table?
Two rows up from hydrogen, and one row to the left.

Sometimes I feel like a complete failure.
The most useful thing I have ever done is prove Einstein wrong.

After all your pathetic attempts to duck the question, it STILL
remains!!
You claim here that the axle does NOT twist under GR. Since two of the
clocks are ATTACHED to the axle, they MUST read the SAME time. But GR
says the high unconnected (different gravity) one runs differentlty.
This is a CONTRADICTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! of the "theory"

Maybe higher still?
The little fellas are pretty small compared to the mass a H
(but we're on the right track)
