Hello Richard,

to my knowledge there were violations found in the way that in reactions 
the conservation of the number of leptions and the number of quarks was 
violated. This was the cause to "invent" the leptoquark, otherwise there 
was no strong reason for this. I thought that this was (also) found at 
DESY, but presently I do not find the original source. Still try to find 
it.

My electron model needs the strong interaction as a bind between the 
sub-particles. With this assumption the result for the mass is precisely 
correct (working for all leptons and all quarks). For the electron the 
mass determination is correct by almost 1 : 1 million.

Up to the 1940ies several authors tried to determine the mass of the 
electron in a classical way with the assumption that only the electric 
force does exist in it. One of them was the German Helmut Hönl. The 
result was wrong by a factor of ca. 300. The conclusion at that time was 
that it is not possible to understand the electron classically, and it 
was seen as confirmation of the Dirac function. However, if I do a 
classical calculation assuming the strong force rather than the electric 
one for the internal bind, then the result is correct by the precision 
given above.

And this mechanism works, to say it again, for all leptons and all 
quarks. In contrast to the Higgs model, as the Higgs field does not 
exist (discrepancy with the Cosmological Constant of any form by at 
least 56 orders of magnitude. And even if the Higgs field would exist, 
the theory does not provide quantitative results).

So, I understand this result as a confirmation of the strong force even 
in leptons. The coupling between leptons and quarks is, however, 
extremely weak. This is caused by the fact that the size of a lepton and 
of a quark is very different and so also the shape of the internal 
binding field.

Regards
Albrecht

>>>>>>>         The bottom line is that the reason one does not resolve

>>>>>>>         Now what would one see with lepton scatting on protons?
>>>>>>>         I have dozens of papers on this (and thousands of

>>>>>>>         from the hip. Let me explain as briefly and simply as I
>>>>>>>         can. Lock and load …
>>>>>>>         At low energies (expresses as a length much less than
>>>>>>>         10^-15 m or so), one sees point-like scattering from,
>>>>>>>         what looks like, a spherically symettric charge
>>>>>>>         distribution. Ok there are differences between positive
>>>>>>>         projectiles (which never overlap) and negative, but
>>>>>>>         broad brush this is so. There is then a transitional
>>>>>>>         stage where one sees proton structure – some interesting
>>>>>>>         resonances and an effective “size” of the proton (though
>>>>>>>         recently this has been shown to be (spectactularly
>>>>>>>         interestingly) different for electron and muon
>>>>>>>         scattering! (This means (obviously) that the electron
>>>>>>>         and muon have a different effective size on that scale).
>>>>>>>         At much higher energies one begins to see (almost) that
>>>>>>>         characteristic point-like scattering again, from some
>>>>>>>         hard bits in the proton. Rutherford atom all over again.
>>>>>>>         These inner parts have been called “partons”. Initially,
>>>>>>>         this was the basis –incorrect in my view – of making the
>>>>>>>         association of quarks with partons. Problem nowadays is
>>>>>>>         that the three valence quarks carry almost none of the
>>>>>>>         energy-momentum of the proton - - keeps getting less and
>>>>>>>         less as the energies go up. I think this whole
>>>>>>>         quark-parton thing is largely bullshit. Experimentally!
>>>>>>>         Now Albrecht you make some good points. You are

>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>         Does my model explain the relativistic mass increase of
>>>>>>>         the electron at motion? Yes it does. According to my
>>>>>>>         model the mass of an electron is m=h(bar) / (R_el *c),

>>>>>>>         gamma (as initially found by Heaviside in 1888), also
>>>>>>>         the size of the electron contracts at motion by gamma.
>>>>>>>         So the mass of the electron increases by gamma and also
>>>>>>>         of course its dynamical energy. - That is very simple
>>>>>>>         and elementary. The same considerations apply for the
>>>>>>>         relativistic momentum of the electron.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>         (This is all described in my web

>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>         However, the contraction only occurs in the direction of

>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>         So there must be something in the electron which is much

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         particles and fields.  I will start my
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         explanation of this concept by giving examples
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         of models which do not “quantify” particles
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         and fields.  There have been numerous particle
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         models from this group and others which show
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         an electron model as two balls orbiting around
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         a center of mass.  Most of the group
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         identifies these balls as photons but Albrecht
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         names the two balls “charges of the strong
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         force”.  Both photons and charges of strong
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         force are just words. To be quantifiable, it
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         is necessary to describe the model of the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         universe which gives the strong force or the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         electromagnetic force.  What exactly are
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         these? How much energy and energy density does
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         one charge of strong force have? Can a photon

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         photons made of any other more basic component?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         Regarding charge: This is a basic entity in my
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         model. At some point a physical theory has to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         start. My model starts with the assumption that
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         a charge is an "atomic" entity, so possibly
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         point-like, which emits exchange particles (in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         this point I follow the general understanding
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         of QM). There are two types of charges: the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         electric ones which we are very familiar with,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         having two signs, and the strong ones, which
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         are not so obvious in everyday physics; they
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         also have two signs. In the physical nature we
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         find the charges of the strong force only in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         configurations made of those different signs,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         never isolated. This is in contrast to the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         electric charges.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         The basic particles are composed of a
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         collection of charges of the strong force so
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         that both basic particles are bound to each
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         other in a way that they keep a certain
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         distance. This distance characterizes an
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         elementary particle. In several (or most) cases
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         there is additionally an electric charge in the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         basic particle.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         The two parameters I have to set - or to find -
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         are the shape of the strong field in the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         elementary particle. Here I have defined an
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         equation describing a minimum multi-pole field
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         to make the elementary particle stable. The
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         other setting is the strength of this field.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         This strength can be found e.g. using the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         electron because the electron is well known and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         precisely measured. This field is then
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         applicable for all leptons as well as for all
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         quarks. It is also applicable for the photon
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         with the restriction that there may be a
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         correction factor caused by the fact that the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         photon is not fundamental in the sense of this
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         model but composed of (maybe) two other particles.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         The size of the photon is (at least roughly)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         described by its wavelength. This follows from
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the mass formula resulting from my model, as
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         with this assumption the (dynamic) mass of the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         photon is the correct result.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         As I wrote, the results of this model are very
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         precise, the prove is in practice only limited
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         by limitations of the measurement processes.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         I could go on with more questions until it is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         possible to calculate the properties of an
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         electron from the answers.  So far both models
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         lack any quantifiable details except perhaps a
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         connection to the particle’s Compton
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         frequency.  I am not demanding anything more
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         than I have already done. For example, I cannot
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         calculate the electron’s Compton frequency or
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the fine structure constant. However, once I
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         install these into the model that I create, and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         combine this with the properties of the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         spacetime field, then I get an electron.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         Installing a muon’s Compton frequency generates
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         a muon with the correct electric field,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         electrostatic force, curvature of spacetime,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         gravitational force and de Broglie waves.  I am
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         able to quantify the distortion of spacetime
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         produced by a charged particle, an electric
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         field and a photon. I am able to test these
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         models and show that they generate both the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         correct energy density and generate a black
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         hole when we reach the distortion limits of the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         spacetime field.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         In my model the Compton frequency of the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         electron (and of the other leptons) follows
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         directly from the size of the particle and the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         fact that the basic particle move with c. The
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         fine structure constant tells us the relation
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         of the electric force to the strong force. This
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         explanation follows very directly from this
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         model, however was also found by other
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         theorists using algebra of particle physics.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         Another result of the model is that Planck's
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         constant - multiplied by c - is the field
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         constant of the strong force. Also this is the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         result of other models (however not of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         mainstream physics).
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         My model starts with a quantifiable description
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         of the properties of spacetime. The spacetime
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         model has a specific impedance which describes
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the properties of waves that can exist in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         spacetime. Then the amplitude and frequency of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the waves in spacetime is quantified. This
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         combination allows the energy density of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         spacetime to be calculated and this agrees with
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the energy density of zero point energy. The
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         particle models are then defined as ½ħunits of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         quantized angular momentum existing in the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         spacetime field.  This model is quantifiable as
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         to size, structure, energy, etc. Also the fact
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         that the rate of time and proper volume is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         being modulated, it is possible to calculate
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the effect that such a structure would have on
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the surrounding volume of spacetime.  It is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         possible to calculate the effect if the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         spacetime-based particle model would have if
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the coupling constant was equal to 1 (Planck
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         charge), To get charge/e/, it is necessary to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         manually install the fine structure constant.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         How do you get the value½ħfor the angular
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         momentum? What is the calculation behind it? -
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         I understand that in your model the electric

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         Which ones? From alpha? How do you then get alpha?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         I personally have in so far a problem with all
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         considerations using spacetime as I have quite
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         thoroughly investigated how Einstein came to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the idea of this 4-dimentional construct. His

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         to avoid an ether. And in his discussions with
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         Ernst Mach he had to realize that he was
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         running into a lot of problems with this
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         assumption. He could solve these problems in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         general by his "curved spacetime". But this

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         are eagerly neglected by the followers of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         Einstein's relativity (and which do not exist
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         in the Lorentzian way of relativity).
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         The quantifiable properties of spacetime imply
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         that there should be boundary conditions which
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         imply that the waves in spacetime should be

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         characteristics of the particle’s gravitational
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         field are obtained (correct:  curvature, effect

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         In my last post I have given an answer about
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the factor of 10^120 difference between the

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         energy, the uncertainty principle, Lamb shift,

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         general. This non-observable energy density is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         responsible for the tremendously large
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         impedance of spacetime c^3 /G. Since I can also
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         show how this non-observable energy density is

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         it is necessary for*you*to show how all these
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         effects can be achieved without spacetime being
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         a single field with this non-observable energy
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         density.  In fact, the name non-observable only

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         evidence is everywhere. It forms the basis of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the universe and therefore is the “background

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         constants/c,//G/,/ħ/and/ε_o /testify that
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         spacetime is not an empty void.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         Up to now I did not find any necessity for
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         zero-point energy. And I find it a dangerous
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         way to assume physical facts which cannot be
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         observed. The greatest argument in favour of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         this energy is its use in Feynman diagrams. But
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         is there really no other way? I have a lecture
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         of Feynman here where he states that his

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         physical understanding why it is successful. In
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         my understanding of the development of physics
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         this is a weak point.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         The discrepancy of 10^120 between assumed and

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         reason to find a solution to keep present QM
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         clean. But they are not able to. This causes me
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         some concern.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         The constants you have listed: c is the speed

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         have a model, but it is a bit speculative.) But
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         it has nothing to do with energy. G is the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         gravitational constant which is as little
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         understood as gravity itself. Planck's constant

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the field constant of the electric force with a

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         If spacetime was an empty void, why should
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         particles have a speed limit of/c/? For a

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         0.75/c/relative to the earth. The earth bound

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         rules of relativistic addition of velocity has
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         a spaceship observer seeing the other spaceship
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         moving away at only 0.96/c/. How is this
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         possible if spacetime is an empty void.  My
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         model of the universe answers this because all
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         particles, fields and forces are also made of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the spacetime field and they combine to achieve
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         Lorentz transformations which affects ruler
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         length and clocks. None of this can happen
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         unless spacetime is filled with dipole waves in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         spacetime and everything is made of the single
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         component. The universe is only spacetime.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         If two spaceships move at 0.75 c in opposite
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         direction, the observer at rest may add these

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         If an observer in one of the spaceships
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         measures the relative speed of the other
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         spaceship, the result will be less then c (as
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         you write it). The reason is the well known
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         fact that the measurement tools accessible for
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the observer in the ship are changed and run
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         differently at this high speed. The reason for
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         these changes is for time dilation the internal
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         speed c in elementary particles. For
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         contraction it is the contraction of fields at
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         motion which is a fact independent of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         relativity (and which was already known before
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         Einstein). In addition when the speed of

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         To  your questions in detail:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         The fact of two basic particles is necessary to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         explain the fact of an oscillation and to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         fulfil the conservation of momentum. A single
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         object (as point-like) cannot oscillate. The

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         There are two kinds of charges according to the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         two kinds of forces in our world, the strong
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         one and the electric one. The weak force is in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         fact the strong force but has a smaller
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         coupling constant caused by geometric
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         circumstances. And gravity is not a force at
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         all but a refraction process, which is so a
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         side effect of the other forces. And, by the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         way, gravity is not curved spacetime. This is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         not necessary, and besides of this, Einstein's
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         spacetime leads to logical conflicts.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         The forces (i.e. strong force) inside an
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         elementary particle are configured in a way
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         that at a certain distance there is a potential

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         has attracting and repulsive components.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         Outside the elementary particle the attracting
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         forces dominate to make the particle a stable
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         one. And those field parts outside have an
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         opposite sign. Now, as the basic particles are

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         With the assumption of two basic particles

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         This model does not need any vacuum energy or

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         The Coulomb law can be easily explained by the

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         Dear John Macken,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         I would like to answer a specific topic in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         your mail below. You write "... would have
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         particular relevance to the concept that the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         Higgs field is needed to give inertia to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         fermions".
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         We should not overlook that even mainstream
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         physicists working on elementary particles
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         admit that the Higgs theory is not able to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         explain inertia.  I give you as a reference:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         >Steven D. Brass, The cosmological constant puzzle,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         Journal of Physics G, Nuclear and Particle
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         Physics 38, 4(2011) 43201< ,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         which has the result that the Higgs field,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         which causes inertia according to the theory,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         is by at least 56 orders of magnitude too
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         small to explain the mass of the elementary
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         particles. (Another weakness is the fact that
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the Higgs theory does not tell us the mass of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         any elementary particle even if all other
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         parameters are known.)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         As you may remember, in our meeting I have
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         presented a model explaining inertia which
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         does not only work as a general idea but
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         provides very precise results for the mass of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         leptons. The mass is classically deduced from
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the size of a particle.  It also explains the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         mass of quarks, but here the verification is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         more difficult, due to the lack of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         measurements. In addition I have shown that
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         the model also explains the (dynamic) mass of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         photons, if the size of a photon is related to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         its wavelength.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         You may find details in the proceedings of our
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         San Diego meeting, but also on the following
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         web sites:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         www.ag-physics.org/rmass
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         www.ag-physics.org/electron.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         You may also find the sites by Google search
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         entering the string "origin of mass". You will
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         find it on position 1 or 2 of the list, where
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         it has constantly been during the past 12 years.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         If you have any questions about it, please ask
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>         me. I will be happy about any discussion.
