* As I say, you should present your theory to sci.physics and
sci.physics.research if you have any interest in checking whether it is
correct, and not limit its exposure to this group. Do let us know when
you
have posted there.


No, that is not the choice I have made. I decided to merge a paper
aproach with that of a patent request . You have read one patent
request and you have to wait for the PTO to print out the concluding
application. I am sharing it with industry and not the boneheads
who bunch themselves into secret rooms away from those outside who
cannot possibly provide anything of interest. They have the common
interest that if it doesn't come from them..........!!!!!! Pretty much
the same as this group. We shall see

* OK, at an appropriate juncture I'll invite some of them to come over and
take a look at what you write here (crossposting would probably be frowned
upon). It might be enlightening to receive the views of some physicists..

If you know of any I would welcome their views. There are many retired
educated people in this world today that turn to that which they had
an interest with when young. Now it is difficult to get up to speed in
different sciences because various journals get the rights of various
papers from Universities e.t.c which are then denied to libraries and
the public.
This is a resource the country should assist because its costs are low
and where all have
large experience obtained thru their working years. Imagine
professionals who when retired
have twenty or more years of experience be allowed to follow and
contribute in areas where an interest has laid dormant for so long.
Today's efforts are applied to computers where data comes out in
bundles which have to be sorted to determine if anything good is being
offered by using a mish mash of arithmetic formulae that are merged
with similar formulae from different functions. *Sad, sad, sad.

* It's true that a lot of effort is put into the areas that yield the
greatest profit, and computing in one form or another does seem to have a
grip at the moment. *However, it is enlightening to take a look from time to
time at news groups like the two I named to see the sorts of things they are
discussing, and the _unbounded_ nature of the universe (which is what I
wrote) is one of them. *They too appear to have input from ex-professionals.

Have you ever tried to obtain access to a technical library in a university
or one of the engineering institutions? *You might be surprised how easy or
inexpensive it turns out to be. *As a member of the general public I have
access to the IET library in London to read as much as I wish, and to
photocopy.

Yes, some university libraries allow access to the public but not for
copies. These must
come from journals at quite high prices. Here you can be a member of a
professional society say IEEE but to get the journals of say antennas
and propagation then you must pay a couple of $100 to have access to
them. This is on top of the fees for the institution and the group
that you are personally a member of which also requires fees. But the
U.S. is not like being in London where you can take the tube to any
where such as the patent office library or visit the one on Birdcage
Walk ( Royal Institution of Mechanical Engineers in the old days)
I am not aware of this IET that you mentioned. Here in Illinois which
is the size of the UK plus has a population that London sees every
day of the week! One library I would like to get into is on
Whitechapel road in Stepney ( Queen Mary college) where extensive work
is done on antennas. Anyway what I do is to start right at the
beginning ie first principles
and with antennas stuck in a rut for so long it was a good one for me
as a retired person
to fiddle with as it was nice to talk to my buddies at BAC St Albans
and nearby towns when radio itself was a hobby for me but most have
now passed away. Now I have finished my personal antenna studies and I
will have to turn to the honey doos that have piled up over the last
few years even tho I have had a handy man come in regularly even so I
go thru periods where every thing that I own is broken and I must turn
away from my hobbies.
