...Russian scientific tradition goes back so far," says Mathematician Richard Bellman of the Rand Corp. "In some fields, we've always been behind." It was the 19th century Russian Botanist Dmitry Ivanovsky who discovered the first plant virus. Dmitry Pryanishnikov originated soil research, and world-famed Dmitry Mendeleev charted the elements and drew up the periodic scale still found in every high school laboratory. Had Aleksandr Popov worked a bit faster, he might well have wrested from Marconi credit for inventing the radio. In 1904 Ivan Pavlov won a Nobel Prize for his work on the conditioned reflex...

...proton and sigma hyperon. Each proves to equal TT divided by four; this produces a new constant (1.12888), based on the inverse of the square root of TT divided by four, which Grebe calls "g." This tool "opens the door," produces a periodic table of particles similar to Mendeleev's 19th century periodic table of chemical elements. To compile it, Grebe assigns g° to the electron and positron as his base. In turn, the various exponents of g for the other particles yield a set of symmetrical relations. These relations indicate the presence of a number of proportional...
