Glad you kept posting FT. I now understand what you are saying in your initial post. You left much unsaid. Correct on the neutron's very short life outside the realm of the neucleous. Related is the question of the potential length of the existence of a neutron star. Are the benefits of close association with nothing but other netrons the same as being in a stable neucleous? I don't know the answer to that one. I do know that N-stars do evaporate eventually. Equally curious as to the life of a magnetar.

Yes, yes! Weight is an arbitrary designation based on one's local gravitaional conditions. Weight varies and mass stays the same.

I will continue to seek out that one particular article to which I referred. BTW I wouldn't call Planck's work exactly passe.

My real question to you is why the anger? The putdowns? There is no need to become indignant.
