Re: [Vo]:Fred Zoepfl
I retract that. Looks like Fred is a real person. Fred promised to get someone at Pitt to laugh at me. That was upsetting. I graduated from Pitt. I marched over to Pitt and visited the dean. They like to promote their grads. He knows me as I have been there before. They have a new Dr. in physical chemistry teaching now. The dean suggested I take my book to him. He is young and interested in such things. We talked and he will read the book. Fred drove me to do this. I don't need his introduction at Pitt. Frank

By the way Fred Zoepfl is not a real person as far as I can tell. It's just an anonymous pseudonym.

I noticed all five reviews that are currently displayed are very positive. Four reviewers gave your book five stars. Only one gave 4 stars. That's not bad. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson OrionWorks.com zazzle.com/orionworks
Re: [Vo]:Fred Zoepfl
It was Stephen Cooke not Reigh who offered the positive review. Thank you Mr. Cooke. Frank Z -Original Message- From: Orionworks - Steven Vincent Johnson To: vortex-l Sent: Wed, Sep 2, 2015 11:55 am Subject: RE: [Vo]:Fred Zoepfl Frank, A decent review from Reigh who presumably has read your book and took the time to digest the contents and the ramifications. FYI, I have not read your book. I have no right to challenge it nor trash it. Despite my ignorance, I think I can say with some conviction that you are one of the most honest (honorary) boy scouts I've ever met on Vortex. I perceive one of your life's goals is to challenge the establishment. I suspect the curious will buy your book because they enjoy the challenge of having their current perceptions of physics challenged. And, of course, stalwarts will continue to trash it for the very same reasons, because they hate having their current perceptions of physics challenged. Let me put it this way, Frank, you are performing your job well. Granted, it's possible you may not enjoy aspects of your job at times, but that's the way the egg rolls. FWIW, I suspect my own ongoing research into Keplerian laws of planetary motion, if I ever accumulate enuf data to publish the results, will most likely be ignored by the establishment as well. My findings may be ridiculed. For example, I suspect I would most likely be laughed off the stage if I were to challenge the establishment by claiming that the heliocentric view of the solar system is NOT the only correct (or most accurate) representation of planetary motion. The prior geocentric model may also still work. IOW, it's possible that both models are not incompatible with each other. It's possible that the prior geocentric model failed because they used the wrong engineering configuration backed with incorrect math. My suspicion is that it's all a matter of establishing a point-of-view ... and then backing it up some appropriate math which hopefully will not turn out to be too complicated. Kepler 1st law states a planetary body rotates around a central mass fixed at one of two foci of an ellipse. Curiously, nobody has yet been able to determine what the other (empty) foci is doing. What planetary laws of motion might be governing what's happening at the empty (or imaginary) foci? I think Nature abhors a vacuum. Therefore, some kind of law may very well exist there - perhaps even a fascinating one. One possibility I thought about is that the angular change of the planetary position remains constant at the "empty" foci. Decades ago I checked out this possibility. While it is somewhat close, it is definitely NOT correct. I'm sure Kepler hundreds of years ago tired this out and noticed it did not match either, as have others since then. Dang! It would have been so elegant if it did match up! But Mother Nature said, No! You'll have to dig a little deeper to fathom my secretes. And so, my quixotic journey to discover what might be happening at the imaginary foci continues. I may succeed in my boy scout quest, or I may fail. But try, I must. Sancho keeps telling me: That's the way the egg rolls. ;-) I think most readers of such reviews can read between the lines and discern that Mr. Zoepfl most likely took the contents of your unread book as an unwanted challenge to his current perception of physics & reality. Zoepfl's review filled with unwarranted adjectives and disparaging characterizations of your intelligence is likely backfire on him, particularly if his objective had been to get you tar and feathered. It could very well make the curious even more curious. Why? Becuz the bright ones with the quixotic mind-set love to be challenged.

Re: [Vo]:Fred Zoepfl
I will never interact with Fred Zoephi. I spoke at the Univ of Pitt. I have had peer reviewed papers. I don"t need Fred. Someone wrote this review who actually purchased the book. I feed better now. Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase I fully agree with the other positive posts written here. This is a great book in my view and well worth reading if you are open and interested new ideas and points of view. If everyone only looked at the world from established ideas and concepts we would still believe the earth was flat at the center of the universe everything was fundamentally only made of earth, air, water and fire. Some people like Frank Znidarsic look deeper and try to find new concepts and ideas. New ideas are always controversial, its the exploration that counts and it matters that people are thinking of them. I highly recommend this book to anyone who thinks and likes to explore new physics ideas and possibilities. I think you will agree this book beautifully ties together an understanding of the atom both current and new. The theory, ideas and possibilities behind his new concept had me fascinated.

In reply to Frank Znidarsic's message of Tue, 1 Sep 2015 19:14:53 -0400: Hi Frank, Instead of trying to get him banned on Amazon, why don't you take him up on his offer to give a talk? Then you will have an opportunity to answer questions directly. You may even gain some converts. ;) [snip] > >Fred offered some really insulting remarks about me and my book and my work. >He never purchased a book. >I am working to get him banned at amazon. > > > > > > > > >This book is a self-published ("Znidarsic Science Books" indeed) collection of >nonsense that would not be published by any reputable organization.

RE: [Vo]:Fred Zoepfl
Sorry to hear about that Frank, The world is full of pompous asses. Perhaps it's the pending presidential election which tends to bring out the best and worst of us. When I was in Washington, south of Seattle, last week I saw accompanying two bumper stickers on a back of a pickup. The 2st sticker on the left side of the bumper had a photo of Trump it sed: Trump in 2016 The 2nd sticker on the right side of the bumper had a photo of Hillary it sed: Trump that B1TCH. FYI, those who may be new to Vortex, you may notice an increase in OT threads pertaining to presidential election issues. It will reach a frenzy leading up to election night. Things will go back to normal in Vortex land afterwards. Be patient. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson OrionWorks.com zazzle.com/orionworks
