re: scientific advice from Johannes....

J--1) Why does a neutron split up into a proton and an electron when it is taken away from the nucleus of an atom?

N--it doesn't, so if this is a fundamental plank of your new world view, you are wrong, and damn wrong at that. Free Neutrons are stable for geologic eras of time, until they hit something .

J-- Where did YOU get your information and why do you believe it? I obtained my information from various books, back in 1960s when I studied the subject. Back then the halflife of free neutrons was considered to be 10 minutes, later it was reported as 11 minutes and now it is reported to be 15 minutes. I do not know why there is a difference in the reported time of neutrons half life, perhaps the measuring methods have improved.

If you have positive evidence indicating that you are correct, then I suggest that you tell the people that are ‘spreading such vile lies’.

You could start with the people at this web site.

J--3) Where does the 'charge' of an electron and a proton originate?

N-- No idea. If you can explain the "Why, how and where" of fundamental forces, without revealing your ignorance of basic physics and centuries of observation and experimentation, then you MIGHT have something, but your other "Questions" suggest you are stupidly ignoring basic fact in many areas.

J— I could explain the "Why, how and where" of fundamental forces, and in the process I might reveal ignorance of various facts, but the ignorance would not be in basic physics and centuries of observation and experimentation.
Unfortunately, your reply indicates to me that you are not ready to receive such information. Giving you the information would be like “throwing pearls in front of swine,” the value would not be understood or appreciated.

What basic facts am I ignoring in my questions?

J-- 8) Explain why gravitational fields attract.

N-- Simple field theory

J— Since the field theory is so simple, perhaps you could explain to us the mechanism that is involved in the process of one mass attracting another. In other words, why is the space-time continuum ‘warped’ in the vicinity of mass? And while you are at it please explain everything about the ‘space-time continuum’.

You present yourself as a scientist, yet your assertion that I have no brain is totally unfounded, where is your evidence?
