There is one theme that runs through all the reactions and it was only evident to me last night - in discussion. There are those among you who have advanced or have bought into the argument that that I have usurped Glen's results as proof of my thesis surreptitiously. I am open to correction but I only know of countless assertions where I pointed to these experimental results as required by the model. Further, I have advanced my own paper in this regard but unsuccessfully. I was variously advised that the results were not replicable or the data insufficient. Glen's replication put paid to both concerns. I am and was, therefore, in a position to advance my earlier paper again on my own. In which case I would have quietly set about it and done it. It would have been concluded some months ago and it would have answered any needs I required in this regard. I was free to do so and no-one would have been able to stop me.
But my hope and dream was that this become an Open Source effort and I saw it as an opportunity to show mainstream the quality of work that was available on these forums. I was hoping that 'crashing through the energy barrier' would be seen as a group effort. To which end I invited Harvey, Ash, Andrew, Steve, Glen and Donovan to join in the effort being, as I saw it, a magical distribution of the credit both globally and in terms of talent. It seemed that I was too liberal with my compliments and too generous with the level of involvement. Harvey and Glen not only took the invitation but proceded to take the entire experiment away from me. In effect, they claimed ownership. Harvey generally claimed that I was incapable of writing the paper without his input and that Glen's exercise was not a replication. They stated their grounds. I refuted them. They have not responded.
I am not sure how you all feel about this. I know I've had some very supportive sentiment from the public. Thank you for that. For those who still harbour the mistrust about my motives - know this. I will get a paper published in a reviewed journal. I will be soliciting expert advice on this. It will still be advanced as an Open Source effort but will concentrate on the model itself. It will still have the joint authorship of Donovan, who is intimately associated with the model, and of members of Panacea, should they require it. It will also be referred to a physics journal - I think. I still need to absorb the information made available on this. Publication will then put paid to Harvey's objection that I am incapable of this and that I depended on his input. This is entirely fallactious and misleading. And I trust it will put paid to any surreptitious motives which may still linger. I am looking forward to the challenge.
I leave it to you all to study the grounds of the objections that have been put forward that Glen's work was a replication. My counter points have not been argued and I must, therefore assume that they CANNOT be argued. In any event, I have been guided in all these posts by some expert and legal advices. I am grateful for their input. I will keep you posted on all developments regarding the paper, and hope that the replications of the circuit will continue as before - and as required. I will be posting daily, and will be concentrating on explaining 'current flow' as proposed by the model, compared to 'current flow' as seen by mainstream. This, I hope, will make it easier for you all to understand where the departure is - and you can all then apply the principles or not, as required. Then I will point to those areas in the paper's circuit where the thesis is answered and where questions still remain. This will be open for discussion and debate.
And guys, I thrive on being challenged. I depend on some critical evaluation and some difficult questions. All such welcomed. My objects are always to advance what little knowledge I have and to learn wherever I can. That's what still makes life worth living.
