Do you think many people would want to read about this or would there be only a very limited audience?

A lot, definitely - it would apply to scientists, physicists, historians (who are interested in Einstein), quantum new age enthusiasts, and bored people in general.

Many people seem to want a simpler, easier-to-grasp understanding of Einsteinian relativity. That’s why so many people oversimplify that and quantum mechanics and misapply the theories.

If you don’t then you probably can handle some of the math. The trick is to translate some of it into English.

Anyway, this was an odd post because you got all these people who aren’t interested in reading magazines to give an idea or two, but then you brought us into extended conversation. Rather than having some serious magazine readers show up. The structure of the site and potential of any given post has confusing and undefined limitations and possibilities.

Some people just like problems more than others. Like they’ll do crossword puzzles for fun or competetive sports to defeat the enemy. Us new-agey holistic magazine readers prefer to focus on what is good than on defeating the bad (because whatever you focus upon tends to grow, of course your problems get worse if you focus on them to solve them!)
