anyway see my unified field theory website:

I got the unified field theory it was published in 1758 and others have worked 
along similar lines; a tradition of physics that's different to mainstream
also my  latest paper: "they" misunderstood Einstein's relativity it got 
mistranslated from the original German of 1905 when translated into

The first one is:

I use Google translate to do this. (https://translate.google.com/ ) It feels 
like cheating, but is sure makes things easier. However, you cannot simply dump 
an Acrobat document into Google translate. That does not work well. I thought I 
would list some of the steps you should to take to make Google translate work, 
and show an example of how the text comes out.
Google translate makes mistakes, as shown below, but in the last few months it 
has improved a great deal thanks to the newest neural network AI techniques. 
See:

more-accurate-fluent- sentences-google-translate/


Here is the worst mistake in the first paragraph:

. . . the occurrence of microcracks and its progress process, many problems, 
durability of the hydrogen storage material It is an obstacle to improve sex."

The last part should be:

. . . These problems are obstacles to improving the durability of the hydrogen 
storage material."

Nothing to do with sex! Perhaps people often ask Google translate to translate 
documents about sex, so the AI thinks everything is about sex.

(Oddly enough, that mistake goes away when you submit the sentence fragment on 
its own, outside of the paragraph.)


Anyway, to translate an Acrobat document from Japanese into English, take the 
following steps:
1. Convert the text to Microsoft Word, using a program such as Power PDF. This 
is essential, mainly because it preserves most paragraphs. Submitting the 
Acrobat document as is, or copying the text will produce many errors. Every 
line in a paragraph will break, which will produce nonsensical translations.
2. Fix paragraphs broken by figures and the pages.
3. Eliminate multiple columns, figures, and all of the formatting you can.
4. Submit the text to Google translate.
5. Compare the resulting text to the Japanese original. It is very handy to use 
a voice reading program such as TextAloud (http://nextup.com/) to read the text 
in Japanese as you look through the English text, and vice versa.
6. Correct and adjust the text.
Google translate will often select words that are correct and understandable, 
but they may not be what is normally used in this context. For example, it 
translated Japanese term "suiso kyuuzou" as "hydrogen occlusion." I think 
electrochemists usually say "absorption." Both terms are listed in a dictionary:
水素吸蔵    
   - hydrogen absorption
   - hydrogen input
   - hydrogen occlusion


Okay. Here is the Google version of the entire first paragraph with no changes:

Regarding the behavior of hydrogen in the metallic structure, many studies 1) - 
3) have been done mainly concerning the hydrogen embrittlement problem. Solid 
dissolved hydrogen is trapped in dislocations, voids and the like in a steel 
material structure such as carbon steel and stainless steel, and is thought to 
be a factor that promotes destruction, and researches on elucidation of the 
material embrittlement mechanism by hydrogen are being conducted. On the other 
hand, recently, from the viewpoint of global environmental problems, 
development of a hydrogen storage material as a clean hydrogen energy carrier 
is actively underway, that is, some metals including rare earth metals easily 
form hydride It has the ability to absorb and release about 1000 times as much 
hydrogen as its own volume. As already seen in nickel-metal hydride batteries

increasing year by yea

hydrogen occlusion metal generates a mylocrack and is pulverized. This
