Oh ... sorry about that.

There's no such thing as an official scientist. Scientists put forth new theories and experiments. They don't always try to refute everything. They do try to refute some things. Sometimes they are successful and things get refuted. Sometimes they are unsuccessful and things get advanced. This...

Basic research is founded on the basis of advancing knowledge, not with necessarily achieving a particular goal. History has taught us that societies that employ this attitude advance technologically, and those that don't stagnate or fail. This is because advances in knowledge often lead to...

That's your problem. There is no accepted explanation to a mystery, that's what makes it a mystery. People can't answer a query based on a premise that isn't even wrong.

I read that near sunrise and sunset a glint from reflected sunlight could be seen.

I don't remember. I was 2 years old. :-)

Sputnik was seen by viewers on Earth.

Your "long linear accelerator" is fundamentally the same as your launcher. They each perform the same function.

The launches are symmetric, right? I don't understand how this is different from what happens to the balls later when they are sped up by your identical magnetic tunnels. If the magnetic tunnels have asymmetric effects on the balls then so do the launches.

Such a thing is impossible. It's a delusion. Just as you can freely release open source software that you've created, you can also self-publish your physics ideas. Having a degree, or even being published in a peer-reviewed journal, is no assurance that your work will be taken seriously, or...

On a traffic stop the cop asks Professor Shrödinger if it's okay to search his trunk. With permission he proceeds. Afterwards the cop says "Professor, do you realize there's a dead cat in your trunk?" Shrödinger replies, "Well, there is now".

Every theory has limits of validity. So it's always possible that a theory can be replaced with another that has less restrictive limits, but all physical theories require experimental verification. LET has neither larger limits of validity nor any experimental verification. Aether theories and...

As you probably know the MM experiment was done in 1889 and Einstein's theory was published in 1905. Einstein claimed that his notion of the invariance of the speed of light came from Maxwell's Equations (ca. 1860's) not from MM. During those decades physicists were concerned with unifying...

But the book is written in Russian, so it seems it hasn't been translated correctly? Likely the translation algorithm is for everyday terminology, not technical jargon. Who knows?

Like the OP, my house is a slab on grade building. I really should engrave the side of the slab with "1.5' to clean out".
