I've pretty much been able to address everything we've discussed without a lot of help from the good doctor, but we'll certainly stay in touch. I'll probably email him about the density thing and see what he thinks. I've offered some suggestions, but perhaps he has some better ones. I will ask him about that one. Some stuff is obviously going to be his field of expertize and there is no sense in me reinventing the wheel.

This attitude honestly mystifies me. You say you have spent a great deal of time on your proposal. You have been asked, repeatedly, some questions about your proposal, not Dr. Manual's. If you think Dr. Manual can help you and he is willing to work with you, then by all means discuss it with him and bring back the results. You are asking me to do research for you.

You are asking me questions about nuclear chemistry. That is HIS field of expertise! Some folks condemn me because I didn't build on other people's work, but you condemn me for not doing it all by myself? Come on. That's not a reasonable attitude. In most manuscripts I would simply cite his work and leave it at that. Instead you wish me to explain 40 years work and repeat these efforts. I'm not interested in doing that. I presented SATELLITE IMAGERY, not nuclear chemistry on my website. I'll be happy to explain what I did present but I have no desire to do the work of a billion people all by myself.

If anyone else considers this a "cop out" please speak up. And Michael, the questions are still on the table.

It is not a cop out to refer you to an expert in the field you are specifically interested in learning about. I can answer anything you might wish to know about the images I have presented and the model I have presented, but I can't explain the nuclear chemistry side on a website, nor do I intend to so any such thing in a manuscript. Its not even reasonable to expect such a thing. No one is an expert on every field of science.
It's become painfully obvious to me that not a single one of you has tackled even a single observastion from a single page of my website using the gas model hypothesis. What should that tell me about my observations and my model?
