Imagine how famous you would become if you were strong enough to prove Telemach wrong. If you are unsure I offered to talk with you to help you since all I desire is to be proven wrong.

Please, offer a counter-theorem!

I just have some fun reading your ravings from time to time (when they are not mere repetitions of the “Telemach” crap). And the fact that you can’t even spell correctly the names of the celebrities you are pleading with (Zuckerman? Garcon?) is just another funny example of your disconnect from reality.

Incidentally, I am surprised that you haven’t yet written to Zuckerberg, proposing that he pays back his debt for “Lampsacus” by promoting your scaremongering. Although it’s true that — if we must believe the movies — he’s not that impressed by people who claim that he copied their ideas for Facebook…

Perhaps you have also a scientific remark to make, dear colleague without identity?

It is official answers saying in either case that it is none of his business since he trusts the lower instances.

But I also infer correctly from your note that we must not scare the lay people too much. So if you so wish, the conference is needed already for the sole purpose of allaying the new fears of the planet of Europe, which we both love.

Perhaps it is those who feel it is ethically reasonable not to hold a safety conference and hold human life in less regard than attaining a few nobel prizes are the ones who should be in such mental institutions. Your muse about the resignation of two German heads of state is intriguing. What documents have you?

You refer to the alleged difference between the virtual particle cloud seen by a stationary and a free-falling observer on the horizon of a black hole.

In my view this is another false implication of the now outdated picture of black holes.

There is some intelligent life in the solar system. Has anyone at CERN explained this; If we cannot discern speed in a vacuum, then how come we can discern it in at least 3 way; the cloud of free electrons that pop out of ‘nowhere’ and build up proportionally to speed, the frequency of the synchrotronic emissions they give off, and the increasing power input required? There are three excellent speedometers.
And which fool decided that the solution to these particles (which exist in both frames just like at our ionosphere), apparently breaching the conservation law, was to call them ‘virtual’. We pay good money to fund such fools!

No one will be happier than me if you found the error, dear anonymous Roger. Your children will also be grateful. The president will give you a medal. So, please, continue.
