I was reading this little paper i ran across (http://www.angelfire.com/ak/mlebel/mcreation14.html), and wasn't sure if i was getting the jist of this right. The corresponding figure is here (http://www.angelfire.com/ak/mlebel/images/wave143.gif). Is this guy saying that muons can be created by rapid accelleration of electrons to sub-light speed? :confused: And if it's not to much trouble, could somebody give me an idea as to what you'd use to achieve that?

It's buzzword salad. There is no hist to get - yet another example of Sturgeon's law (http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/s/SturgeonsLaw.html) applied to the internet.

...well, there's no reason for somebody to go through the trouble of writing it, if there's no idea (sci-fi, or not) behind it. Can you explain what the person is thinking here, or where it's coming from?

There is no shortage of people who think they have found a theory-of-everything, or are convinced that relativity is wrong, or QM is wrong, or evolution is wrong, etc., etc. and they have the right explanation. Invariably these people do not understand the mainstream theories in question. But now that there is an internet, it is trivial to post their ideas — why do they need a reason? Explain the plethora of blogs and their ilk.

Anyway, I cannot beging to explain what they are thinking.
