SANSBURY SHOWS HOW SUPERLUMINAL ORBITAL SYSTEMS INSIDE ATOMIC NUCLEI CAN ACCOUNT FOR THE SPACE TIME DISTORTIONS OFRELATIVITY AND THE DISCONTINUITIES OF QUANTUM MECHANICS -2011 Cern discovery of a faster than light neutrino was followed by a disclaimer showing neutrinos traveling at the speed of light but with no increase of mass to infinity. -These results indicate the possibility of superluminal orbital systems inside electrons and atomic nuclei. Such orbital systems can explain the conundrums of relativity, quantum mechanics and string theory. -The apparent increase of electron mass to in...

Fully color-illustrated. The quarks, those constituents of the orgy, Playfully bound within the nucleons' chamber, Are named up, down, strange, charm, bottom and top, The last two once being called beauty, and truth; However, when just one of a type was contained It became referred to, say, as a naked beauty, And thus nude tops and bottoms their charms revealed- To ever be in closeness binding, and bonding,

The purpose of this lesson is to aid in the student understanding of basic physics as it relates to aerodynamics.
