| Message | Dr. Musser, In Scientific American you write: In a similar vein, nearly all physicists presume that cosmic singularities have a finite, if high, density. Relativity theory errs because it fails to capture some important aspect of gravity or matter that comes into play near singularities and keeps that density under control. There are three kinds of objects that result from the deaths of stars. The collapse of white dwarfs is halted by electron degeneracy pressure. The collapse of neutron stars is halted by neutron degeneracy pressure. The collapse of the very largest stars cannot be prevented by any known physics from collapsing into a singularity and forming a black hole. In my theory of nothing all fundamental particles are composed of a single positive energy state (actually a probability wave) moving forward in time from the past at c and six negative energy states (three quantum mechanically entangled pairs of waves) moving backward in time from the future at c. The particle’s internal clock can be considered to be the sequential interaction of the positive energy state and each pair of negative energy states in the present moment. The sequential interaction of the positive energy waves moving forward in time and the negative energy waves moving backward in time may slow (time dilation) but the process can never completely stop. It is this temporal degeneracy pressure that prevents a star’s total collapse and thus avoids the singularity. Gene T. Yerger |

| Message | It was a fortuitous observation, which would not have been recognized except for my electrical engineering background, that resulted in identifying the relationships in the paper cited below. A paper titled, "Methodology to Define Physical Constants Using Mathematical Constants" has been accepted by a peer reviewed IEEE publication. The publication date is expected in early 2011. A postprint of the paper is available via my web page, it is 6 pages. Please contact me for an attachment or link. Frank Makinson |

| Message | Mr Musser-- I was reading one of your recent (April of 2010) articles on Scientific American about "saving nuts and bolts" when it comes to solar installs. The article was entitled "Cutting the cost of solar by watching every nut and bolt". I work for a Georgia solar installer, and we recently completed the first install using the Zep racking system on the east coast. We were featured in a number of online and print media outlets. I was writing to find out if there was any chance we can speak further about this project. Seeing your article inspires me to reach out to those that can help spread the word about solar advances and how technology is making solar energy more and more affordable. I don't write today seeking shameless self promotion, rather, I write seeking the chance to speak with you about our experience with the Zep system and how it is changing the way we do things. If you would like to discuss further, please feel free to email me or call on my cell phone at 678-637-2912. Regards, Matt Dubnik Southern View Energy |

| Message | Hello George, I am a mathematician, artist, composer, and philosopher who graduated from Marlboro College in 2010. I have read your article in Scientific American, and was wondering if you would help me get my ideas to have more public recognition. I have described a philosophical/mechanical system that resembles string theory in the sense that it describes a tiny loop. My work is on the difference in circumferences of two circles being equal to an arc length of the initial circle and applying the Pythagorean Theorem to it. Please consider writing about my ideas. I then show that there is a mysterious computational result to the Lorentz transformation within the height of the cone described by difference in circumferences of two circles. I send you the following link to show you the work I have done so far, and I can provide you with more papers later. I am certain of the validity of my calculations, and I use this to describe time. Thank you for considering my work. I would like to send you a link to my work, but it is not letting me do so. Please contact me so that I might show you the work I have done and how it is pertinent to that which is missing in physics today. I maintain copyright on all of my original ideas and equations. Sincerely, Parker Emmerson |

| Message | Dear Mr. Musser: My name is Nathan Miller and I am a junior at Bard High School Early College in Manhattan. I am very enthusiastic about science and journalism and greatly respect the work you have done. I am eager to get involved in scientific journalism and was wondering if you knew of any internship opportunities with Scientific American over the summer, particularly in August. If you could use assistance of any kind it would be an honor to help out. As far as journalistic experience, I am cofounder and editor-in-chief of my school's newspaper. Of course, I am also a subscriber and avid reader of Scientific American. Thank you for your time. Best regards, Nathan Miller |

| Message | Hi George, Just saw your dark matter video. George you don't realize that the whole origin of dark matter is a result of the erroneous inversion of Mass and Light in E=mc2. The idea of dark matter came from too much mass and not enough gravity to show for it. Gravity is "NOT" a force apart from the "Expansion Acceleration" of mass. Gravity is "only" on the surface of any particle of mass. This is proven mathematically. Please see EinsteinElectricity dot com Dark matter is just another Flat Earth error. Best wishes, ;0) AL |
