I know I am not Einstein or Planck. They are dead. Duh!

When I took Quantum Mechanics at a major university I got an A.

Any more insightful comments?

The 95-particle mass/stability histogram is now available.

Send me an email asking for it and I will attach a PDF to the reply.

This, I promise you, is worth a look.

No lasting offense taken,

The trouble with the present paradigm began with the Ancient Greek
Philosophers' secret answer "No" to the unasked question "Is matter
compressible". THAT is the reason they created the theory that Matter
is made of particles traveling in an otherwise empty space.
Although atoms do exist and are particles, they are made of and
totally fillled with the same kind of COMPRESSIBLE

The trouble with the present paradigm began with
the Ancient Greek Philosophers' secret answer "No"
to the unasked question "Is matter compressible".
THAT is the reason they created the theory that Matter
is made of particles traveling in an otherwise empty space.
Although atoms do exist and are particles, they are made
of the same kind of COMPRESSIBLE matter that fills each
of them and the spaces between them too.
Accordingly, the strongest link in the present paradigm,
the kinetic atomic theory, is itself the "weakest link" of all
present models.

Once that is known, it becomes rather easy to work out the
mechanisms of gravity, light, quanta, and everything else that
exists in the universe.

Exactly.

I think it is conceptually cleaner to name the 'compressible'. I have
named it mæther. Matter is compressed mæther and aether is
uncompressed mæther.
