now Mr PD

after all that remarkable impressive abstract
knowledge about how theories and innovations are done
what are the innovations that you did
in physics ???

(actually that question could be directed
to most people taking part in this
learned discussion )

cant you tell us some hints?
some headers of say
2 3 5 words ?????
for instance
i innovated about nuclear geometric structre
or
no mass - no real physics
or the photon has mass
or
Alpha particles will be found in the LHC
or
curved unexplained movement will be found in the LHC

or
no Higgs no SHMIGS
or no curvature of space
etc
all together in this example 6 innovations

while i know nothing asbout a theory
about how to make an innovation and inductions
and am an outsider moron ..... (:-)

can you give us at least
one of yours- say the most important one
in one line ??


TIA

Is that a "no" then?

Are you incapable of researching? That would explain it. Do you need
everything distilled into simplistic laymans terms? If so, it would give
a better insight into why you have no understanding...

You don't look for anything. You sit at your place at the table and
wait to see what gets served on your plate.
Do you understand the difference?

it is either an idiot
or a shamless crook :
i preffere the second possibility !!
since you admitted unwillingly that you got my book
and refuse to tell me how did you got it
it is fo rme rather a theft
so after reading all that in it
DOYOU STILL HAVE THE IMPERTINENCE
TO SAY THAT I SIT BACK AND DO NOTHING ???!!!
there is ther a whole new model of the Atom and nuc
a lot of readers cold get some idea about it
from my anstract :

http://sites.google.com/site/theyporatmodel/an-abstract

and you dare to say that a parrot and theife like you even in his life
could do something like that??
moreover
allmy innovations
about
photons having mass and prove of it
my prediction that Alphs particles will be found in the lHC
(of course tritons and deutrons as well
will be found)
my prve that that eelctron is not a point particle
my evaluations about fusion by Tokamaks
my suggestion that real fusion will be donr from the simplest raw
material ie protons
by counter collision

my pustulate about Time
my postulate that
no mass no real physics
my prediction that no Higgs Bosons will be found!!
my suggestion to the LHC to look for
unexlpained circulat movement

my claim that space has no properties except
hosting mass!!
etc etc etc
now
WAHT ARE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ADVANCE OF SCINCE ??
i asked you and you could not even mention
a single meaninful one actually
you evaded from answering it
can you cheat all fo rever ?
and still blame ME in being a sort of a parasite ??
while the real emthy parrot is YOU ??
not only a parrot but muchworse:
A CROOK DEMAGOGUE !!
of course no body canhave all the
information on his table
sowaht is wrong
IN ADDITION TO ALL MY CONTRIBUTIONS
TO ASK FOR MORE NEEDED INFORMATION FOR **FURTHER** ISSUES
SOLUTIONS !!!???
is a little parrot crook (and parasite ) like you can blame**me* in
being sort of a parasite ???!!!
ps
i have now about a thousand viewers !! lust take it in acount before

Dont you get bored of being wrong?

Please try to spend a little less time thinking I am someone else or a
little more time learning science.

Your failure to use google is no one elses problem.

Well, given how clueless you are, this is hardly surprising - is it?
