I like the idea of sending snail mail because the respondent is somehow required to answer. If Robert and the Mods were to agree to the contents of the letters then we could share the responsibility of the mailing. If the respondent were to decline by snail mail, we could scan the response and post it accordingly. (No money should be involved) Let the discussion begin and ps.. my software may be operating properly again

What do you think? Rufe

Rufus and Dip,I know he is not a scientist but the author Peter Russell has agreed to
write an article on the TOE later this year,I sent him an email and he got back to me
right away.He is willing to debate issues regarding mind,matter,consciousness,as well as posting.Steve Hawking was on tv here last night talking about his TOE and how he is trying to unite the very large with the very small,he will be on tv again next week with
TOE part two!

re:Steven Hawking

We should send him a letter right away just to see what his schedule is. Perhaps it's the right time to invite him here.

It would be such an honor to have his recorded words here. I understand there is some new debate about dark matter and dark energy and perhaps we could be the first to hear his feelings on this.

I have offered to fix the html on the page and Stan has responded once. I find that page quite fascinating and am stumbling through the objectivity and locality section right now.
Am I to understand that he is well known here at Toe?

On the same lines, we have an institute in India called the Tata Institute of Fundamental research (TIFR) that does good work in string theory and the likes. We could have a senior scientist answer our queries. Just let me know...
