I think Paul's aware of it. ;-) Sorry, but I really fail to see the logic in
assuming --> I could not possible see something that a world of EE's have not
seen. If we follow that line of thinking then we assume no single person will
ever discover anything. It's easy to place such faith in the science community,
but that's just not realistic.
For example, my conversations with EE's on a forum discovered that nearly all
EE's have an incomplete understanding of real random noise. Most do not
understand that true noise has no upper crest limit. I debated this with
several EE's on a forum until they saw their error when I broke the problem down
in simple frequency spectrum and phase angle.
Another example is every EE I've ever talked to thinks **all** real resistance
has thermal noise. This is not true. Radiation resistance for instance has no
known thermal noise. I can hand you an wide BW antenna consisting of thick
metal tubing that has several thousand ohms radiation resistance, but the only
thermal noise you'll find on the antenna is due to the resistance of the metal
itself, which is infinitesimally small compared to the radiation resistance. One
EE disbelieved me so much that he still thinks that a 50 ohm antenna given the
BW range will have the amount of thermal noise in accordance to --> V = sqrt(4 K
T R dF)-- it simply does not.

Holes, says Nick? I'm still waiting for anyone to point out even a single hole
in my claims. Please, by all means, someone point out the hole(s). I'm not
running away with my tail between my legs. I challenge anyone! If I'm wrong
then man I'll admit it in a heartbeat.

Some would say that's passive aggressive Stephen A. Lawrence. People will
wonder if you were referring to someone in particular, namely one Paul Lowrance,
lol. People will wonder who you thought had "totally goofy misconceptions and a
condescending and insulting attitude ..."
Please let me know if you ever want to debate the idea that your passive
aggressive ways of life is better than my direct ways of life. You name the
forum of your liking or we can do it in person. Just perhaps, just perhaps
society is wrong on this. Just perhaps society is slowly changing toward my
methodology where people are upfront and honest, and drop the passive aggressive
tactics, silent jabs, etc. etc. What you call "insulting" I call honesty and
speaking my mind. On occasion you have said you're sorry if that hurts my
feelings. That's just it my brother. Please understand it does not hurt my
feelings when you speak your mind. Sure, society has programmed you otherwise.
It is indeed a rough and dog eat dog world out there.
Regards,
Paul Lowrance
