Gee. My very first posting in this thread was about how I was happy as
I discovered the way to be happy in the workplace. I was listening to
the music, but this "catchy tune" does not make me "high" anymore.
OK, so I gave a thought to your and Pif's comments. I decided that I
was not going to confront the departmental head and lodge more
complaints on my former supervisor as this would jeopardise my own
situation.
I decided to make an oral presentation on the project which I did
collaboratively with my supervisor (but I have not done anything since
the "breakup", and the departmental head was pestering me from time to
time to give a presentation on my progress).

Wifey and I went to a used booksale today.
(also had a posh lunch at the posh "inn" in the same town).
My catch?
A 9th edition of an Encyclopedia Britanica.
1878 published.
We already have an 11th edition, with full leather binding.
Why is this important?
The older Britanicas had much richer entries for history, culture, and
humanistic subjects. After the 11th edition, sci/tech/engineering subjects
started crowding out the "classical" subjects, and did not do them
justice.
The "rare book" whips, and scholars say, to some degree that the 11th
edition was a pinacle, with best of overall coverage, but if you're
interested in the classical subjects, get an 8th edition (they will be
very rare, and in the thousands of dollars). Next best: my 9th edition. 24
volumes, about 800 pages each. Stretches about five feet in shelf length.
No index volume, however, like the 11th has.

Hi Arindam,
I see Maharaj just keeps "copy-pasting" over and over, like a broken
record. Kinda like his broken brain.
However, I have a new idea for you: A tentative title for you book, and an
outline, and a reason why to do this.
Tentative title: "The Case Against Einstein"
Subtitle: (something to grab the eyes...like..."A Review of Expert
Skeptics Shows Flawed 'Relativity'"
(you can adjust that to fit your mood, but don't forget to make it
sufficiently 'politically correct' that it sounds plausible.
Here is my idea of an outline:
I. Background history of scientists, professors, philosophers against
Einstein's theories.
II. Rail-Gun descrepancy between experimental measurements and theoretical
predictions (you put in the stuff you told me about).
III. The "Banerjee Alternative to Einstein" mathematics.
IV. References, bibliographical, Appendices, etc.
And, then, what you have is the body from which you can condense the text
into a grant proposal.

Maharaj is a dupe.
It's not "Banerjee against the world."
What it is is two schools of thought: i) Einstein did something, vs. ii) a
bunch of guys who think Einstein made a lot of noise, more heat than
light, and fooled a lot of people.
Here, below, are many more books which cast much doubt on Einstein's
"contributions"......
(all dug up by searches on Amazon.com under: au=einstein)
Note that most of these books were written in the last decade or two. If
we do a search going back to the beginnings of SR, GR, then I'm sure
there will be found many many dozens of books written by equally smart
people who challenge and/or do not accept Einstein.
I think it would be foolish to think the story is over, final, and
finished.

OK, I will try to be more precise. Just imagine, you are in the
kitchen, and you have a hot stove. You throw a piece of naphthalene on
the hot plate. It evaporates. The entropy of the naphthalene molecules
increases. This is the state of the US economy and financial system at
the moment. It has to decompose.

I saw something interesting at this link:-
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/storysupplement/flyp_ibm_06/
its an interview with Pimco CEO Mohamed El-Erian
He says that US needs consumers in India and china and will have to
reduce protectionist barriers as in see high wage earners lose jobs to
those doing the same work for a lot less -if it wants those consumers.
