here is where, and how, I am able to say such things. Almost every time I start to think about something, the way things work, what would happen if....and so on, I come to certain conclusions on my own, without any outside interference or help in the matter. Now, here is what has ALWAYS happened to me. I come up with these mind boggleing things, and just file them away in my mind. Then, ohhh, sometime later I would be watching a science show on TV or something or be reading through a physics book, and low and behold there is what I thought of, it's already been discovered, unfortunately. But without any prior knowledge, I did it myself, not knowing it already existed. SO that tells me I am doing something right, I am thinking in the correct manner, and that tells me I feel shaky about what Hawkins said....
