Yes.
And as far as physics is concerned, see my discussion
with tadchem (Tom Davidson) on the formation of geodes.
We are not all as narrow-minded and selfish as you, so
take your empathy elsewhere. :-)

It is an open forum for the discussion of physics, not just
particle physics or relativity, which has its own splinter group.
Your thread title contains the word "hallucination" as subject,
so don't be so damned hypocritical and *** you too, learn
to spell.
