"When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter. ... Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended ... thus the concept of particles cannot play a fundamental part, ... and can only appear as a limited region in space in which the field strength or energy density are particularly high."
(Albert Einstein, Metaphysics of Relativity, 1950)
"It is my firm belief that the last seven decades of the twentieth century will be characterized in history as the dark ages of theoretical physics. ... The quantum world is a world of waves, not particles."
(Carver Mead, Professor Emeritus at Caltech. Received $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize in 1999)

Hello All
Is everybody on holidays or I'm on the wrong planet.
Maybe my computer is playing up. |

Hi Harry,
Just us at the moment, it looks like. I'm sure folks will return soon, however.
Here's a little sketch for you while you're waiting...
...hooray, it works! Just thought i'd try out my new posting skills!

Hi All,
Sorry, my New Years break has extended itself a bit. Karene and I are creating a large veggie garden, orchard and oval (for playing kids at cricket, soccer and football).
It is fun to be out in the sunshine working - hard to motivate myself to get back in front of computer!
Will be back at work full time from next week. Hopefully will catch up on all my promised replies here over next few weeks.
Take care all.
