   John Heath to All   
   Noodle heads and bean counters

   It has been my observation that in physics there seems to be   
   two types, a noodle head and a bean counter.  A noodle   
   head wants to understand why and a bean counter wants to   
   model to extract meaning from mathematics. Faraday would be   
   a classic noodle head staring at a compass changing its   
   position when current passes through a wire. He will stare   
   and sleep on it for months until some meaning can be   
   extracted. Maxwell would be a bean counter looking for   
   meaning in the beauty of mathematics. When a noodle head   
   crosses path with a bean counter good things seem to happen   
   such is this case of a Faraday and a Maxwell where the magic   
   of a magnetic force and Coulomb's force unites under Maxwell's   
   equations as being  related and predicts the speed of light   
   for the first time using classic wave theory.   
      
   Einstein would be a noodle head / bean counter rolled up in one and we   
   all know the great accomplishments that came from this. In Einstein case   
   history paints a duality to his life . I call it the Einstein / Bessel   
   noodle head team VS the Einstein bean counter side. It stars around 1905   
   , the miracle year , with the great 5 papers. 1907 the duality starts   
   where the E / B noodle head team is in the lab looking for the   
   longitudinal inertia of an electron m = sqr (1-v^2/c^2))^3. Note ^3.   
   This is a logical next step to the electrodynamics of moving bodies. But   
   the bean counter side is compromised to using the Minkowski length   
   contraction where time is a fourth dimension for special relativity.   
   This is the start of the Einstein duality where what he says in main   
   stream physics and what he does in a lab are not the same , noodle head   
   VS bean counter. In 1915 the noodle head electron inertia experiment was   
   completed with the Einsteinâ=80_de Haas effect paper. It was not publish   
   sighting mistakes. How can empirical evidence have mistakes ? It is an   
   experiment that is repeatable. And how could anyone in 1915 not publish   
   an Einstein paper. In 1902 you could understand but in 1915 ? Well the   
   archives of libraries have preserved the Einstein Hass paper and the   
   original electrodynamics of moving bodies that preserves the noodle head   
   side of Einstein.   
      
   There is a noodle head / bean counter duality in a Professor   
   Yoshio Koide from Japan. He is noted for the famous Koide formula   
   to set the lepton masses in the standard model. With his retirement   
   the noodle head side is starting to come out. He is suggesting a   
   boson / lepton mix could be a more productive. A boson / lepton mix   
   is a bold move. In short forget the quarks , just punch your way   
   through the leptons with a boson mix. It is understandable that he   
   would keep that one under his hat until retirement. We are talking   
   photon with an electron in a confined state. I call it the photon   
   with an attitude as it can not move away at c with a rest mass of   
   1 electron slowing it down. At best all it can do is wiggle and   
   jiggle around which is not far off what a muon and tau do in real   
   life. I tried this approach and to my surprise a pion and kaon mass   
   fell in my lap armed only with the Koide formula and seed numbers   
   of electron .511 MeV and muon 105.66 . I could be the first person   
   to do this although I suspect professor Koide already knew this   
   would happen.   
      
   In summary why is there a need for noodle heads to hide in the grass   
   and live a dual life in physics?
