Of course they are, but you are talking in quite an abstract way, quite
removed from the issues. While that is not necessarily a mistake, you are
not making the relevance that you mention plain enough for me to follow.
You are also quoting yourself a lot in the links that you are posting and
not connecting what you say to a wider community of thinking. As a
non-expert I am bound to need some wider reassurance about material that is
so far from the general consensus if I am to know what to do with it.
Perhaps other people are finding it easier to follow what you are saying
than I am.

Quotation: "The Forum as we envisage it could be one
such enabler by: acting as a magnet for academics or
independent researchers from ANY discipline who want
to analyse the nature of crisis (from WHATEVER
perspective) and seek lateral but holistic remedies
for it;"
Of course if you think that science crisis is
irrelevant to the general world crisis just let me
know. Besides, the thermodynamics problems I am trying
to call the attention to may prove quite relevant to
the energy crisis you are so interested in.
Best regards,
Pentcho
