...perhaps not, but this list is designed to encourage weird ideas. It provides an opportunity for people to express their thoughts on physics without fear or favour. That is something that can rarely be said of most fora in modern physics. As such there is always a chance that a speck of gold will turn up amongst the sand and dirt. ;) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
