You refused to provide it, presumably because you have none. Not my fault if you've never been dealt with so speedily before, but I simply haven't time to waste playing childish games. If you decide to produce some evidence I will pay attention, but until and unless consider yourself as having fallen off the edge of the planet. Bye now.

It's an integral part of quantum physics and is becoming more and more obvious that it is the reason for everything from the expansion of the universe to the property of momentum. You will die as you live. In complete ignorance.

Is the Pythagorean Theorem going to be overturned someday, do you think? After all, it's only a theorem. > Perhsps you can enlighten us as to why this must be the case Tom. Or perhaps not. There's no telling what may enlighten any given person. Or fail to enlighten them. Let me know when you get your perpetual motion machine up and operating.
