Who Continues TVF's Work

Time flies - whether or not you are having fun. We miss him, too.

We have not been able to find anyone with the appropriate credentials willing to go on this mission. In the absense of serious new evidence that is game changing, it would be professional suicide, so this is not too surprising. Tom was not unique, but he was pretty close to it. We believe that someone will be found, but we have no way to know when.

I am doing some research into the particle physics aspects of Tom's Meta Model. There is some potential here for finding a mechanism that could make planets go bang. And that would nicley qualify as the game changing new evidence mentioned above. We have identified several possible experiments we would like to do to help answer some theoretical questions. But funding, as always, is the big hurdle. It is difficult in a normal economy, in part because of the Big Science/Big Government near-monoply on science funding. In the current economic mess it is even harder. Sigh.

Did Tom leave his stuff on the eph in an archive by any chance?

I don't know if you've downloaded that grav simulator yet but there's a very interesting simulation to download from the site, called eureka. It's a sim of Mars' Trojans.

Articles and papers aimed at a popular audience, and a few summaries of his published technical papers, and a few video animations, are available at this webstite on other pages. Go to the Home page and explore the various tabs and sub tabs.

To see the published technical papers you will need to follow the references at the end of the popular articles. Note that when you track them down, they will contain additional references. Some of these additional references will be for the work of other authors, some for more of Tom's work.

Most of these are copyrighted by the various publishers, so we cannot just hand them out. Also, we are just about ready to provide a complete scanned version of the back issues of Meta Research Bulletin. If any of you are interested, contact me at

How is it that the core collapse model is good fo r moons and small planets and novas and supernovas but not for solar planets (liquid giants)? I don't get this.

Solar, Models are tricky that's for sure. The White Dwarf, for example, is the most odd model they have as yet presented. That one is has WD stars as old as 10 billion of years that are burned out cinders of normal stars that exist fro 10 billion years before ballooning into red giants for a few billion years. These things are at best works in progress and should not be taken too seriously.

Jim,

So novas and supernovas are probably not explosions caused by thermonuclear core collapse, but instead by double-layer explosions as in the electric universe model.

So the TVF model is rejected primarily because there's no known mechanism or energy source powerful enough that can make giant planets blow up. But maybe it's possible there are only 4 missing planets and they were solid and were small enough (2-3 earth masses) to blow up through thermonuclear core collapse because of tidal stresses and because they were unstable due to being the 1st to fission off (the 1st pair) and the 1st to fission off after the giant planet series (the 2nd pair), with the 1st 3 not having fissioned off moons. Jupiter would have inflated because of absorption of matter from the explosion of Krypton and the LHBs would be caused by something else.
