Hello and what a wonderful Forum. Thank you for your kind welcome

There is little to say. I farm and love it. I am currently heading to my birthplace in Rawanduz on the Iran/Iraq borders near Mosul and hope to present flowers to Abu Muhammad al Adwani as a token of peace and a request that Daish accept the desire of the world is that they lay down their weapons.

I love science but peace is my main driver. I offer my help here and apologise if I take the forum to places unhelpful, will follow the guidance of its advisors when I do

I believe there is much that both science and religion can learn from each other about discovery, integrity and open-mindedness. Both are guilty of closed minds on occasions; both need to rethink values and approach in preparation for the 22nd Century; both sometimes need to take a leap of faith.

But when all is said and done, I milk cows, I plough fields, I maintain my woodlands and gardens, I plant, grow and eat things, bake bread and cakes, make my own cheese, and try and fix solar panels to my barn roof.

That means I may be out of date on my science so ask forgiveness when this happen. I came hear because of the excellent information given on the comparative weight of neutrino mass and Kopelescky explained brilliantly. I used this Forum six times in one week to help explain issues I faced posed by my own community

Anyone wanting know more of me, my diary and my Faith are explored on Google Plus. At least you can understand my Faith of Islam better, as yet I have not been on G+ long enough to post my scientific research papers but they are next.

Being French I will often mess up with the wrong word and miss jokes for several minutes then start laughing when conversation has moved on much to my embarrassment. I am easy to wind up and am like a hungry fish with an open mouth rising for the hook every time

I do not eat meat, fish, fruit unless windfall, and the only thing I crop is roses, wheat and grapes which must die to live again ... as must I.

I wish you love and peace

As salaam alaykum
