There's no easy way to say this, but your other post will be deleted by the moderators in due course. In fact, it's gone already.

It seems to be common for an engineer to believe that he can push the boundaries of physics without studying the subject properly. Why this is, I don't know.

In any case, personal theories are against the rules.

Thanks for your comment. I wasn't trying to push boundaries, just modelling.

Engineers create models and then see if they can help solve real problems. They don't care if the model is the absolute 'truth' or not. As long as it works to get a verifiable result. Its not a crime.

It's a good thing it's not a crime! You'd have got five years from what I saw.
