This is what I'm trying to propose. Of cause       most people think like you and believe that Special Relativity is       flawless, because it has passed all tests it faced to until now.       However, science needs direct proof.              I will give more elements later.              PK              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
