All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident: Arthur Schopenhauer -- In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual: Galileo Galilei -- Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it: Albert Einstein -- When you have eliminated the impossible, what ever remains, however improbable must be the truth: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- We all agree that your theory is crazy, but is it crazy enough? Niels Bohr -- Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence. Its test is that it will explain all phenomena: Ralph Waldo Emerson -- Since the mathematicians invaded Relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore: Albert Einstein -- I would say that the aether is a medium invented by man for the purpose of propagating his misconceptions from one place to another: W.F.G. Swann: -- Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone: Albert Einstein -- Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little: Bertrand Russell -- If I could explain it to the average person, I would not have been worth the Nobel Prize: R. P. Feynman -- I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use: Galileo Galilei -- How dare we speak of the laws of chance? Is not chance the antithesis of all law?: Bertrand Russell -- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I´m not sure about the former: Albert Einstein -- The glory of mathematics is that you don't have to say what you are talking about: Richard Feynman -- Anything is possible if you don´t know what you are talking about: Author Unknown -- In life, everything is relative - except Einstein´s theory: Leonid S. Sukhorukov -- Don´\'t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you´ll have to ram them down people´s throats: Howard Aiken --A day will come undoubtedly when the ether will be discarded as useless: H. Poincaré -- First they tell you you´re wrong and they can prove it; then they tell you you´re right but it isn´t important; then they tell you it´s important but they knew it all along: Charles Kettering -- It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world: Aristotle -- The opposite of a true statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth: Niels Bohr -- A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it: Max Planck -- Euclid taught me that without assumptions there is no proof. Therefore, in any argument, examine the assumptions: Eric Temple Bell -- Half this game is ninety percent mental: Yogi Berra

Dr. D. Jaisson(Palestinian Territories):

You are the archetype of the self-deluded English wanker in a state of contemplation of his own ideas, Tombe.

I was born 10 years after you, I am a physic like you, I left the profession (but not the passion and the study) and like you I was tormented by doubt. I thought I didn't understand ... but then I began to suspect that the relationship DO NOT TO UNDERSTAND = DO NOT TO ACKNOWLEDGE. But took me much longer to come to this conclusion and the discussions at the university, apart from a couple of exceptions, I always preferred to avoid them. Having said that I congratulate you for your works!

Frederick David Tombe(United Kingdom):

The surface tension forces that you have drawn attention to are no easier to explain than gravity itself. Electrostatic force and gravity both come under the jurisdiction of Gauss's law, but that doesn't explain their actual origins at a deeper level, and so to try and explain one in terms of the other would be tantamount to explaining something in terms of itself. Physics is about identifying the laws of nature, and the controversy at hand in these scientific articles is about identifying the existence of and describing the medium (the luminiferous medium) that acts as the carrier of light waves and which channels the fundamental forces in a manner that manifests as electromagnetism. Centrifugal force on the large scale is a consequence of Newton's laws of motion, and I contend that these fundamental laws of motion arise through interaction between ponderable matter and that same luminiferous medium. Mainstream scientists don't believe that any such medium exists, and so the issue in these articles is to demonstrate that it does exist. But as to how it came into existence or how it is animated, that is a deeper question which lies outside the field of physics. By analogy, we can physically describe a television set, but unless both electricity and a signal are injected into it from beyond, it is simply a dead object. Likewise, a physicist can describe the universe but can't explain the vitality that is injected into it from beyond. The tiny electron-positron dipoles that I contend fill all of space, each of which constitutes a sink and source, are portals to the beyond in like manner to the two pin electric socket in the wall which leads to the power source for the television. And there lies the source of gravity and the other fundamental forces.
