Bottomlander;
When your thinking results in concepts already presented and acclaimed in physics, it means that you either have an excellent analytical mind or you are plagiarizing the ideas of the masters. As you can see, I’ve credited Brent as having the independent thinking of an analytical mind. Not many have that ability but it is much easier to study what has already been accomplished rather than waste time simply expressing it with different words and calling it a new idea. Particle physicists are attempting to do that now by calling the domains of permittivity “Higgs Bosons” and “virtual particles”. A rose by any other name is still a rose.

You are right Brent, great minds do think alike; sometimes. Teachers should be able to reduce some of the thinking.
