Hi Don,

Thanks for the welcome, and while I'm at it, I thank Petra and everyone else for their hospitality.

As for selfishness, how could I notice it in someone else if I have not also seen it in myself? Just like Petra, I call things as I see them.

>From everything we have learned, ear-tones are not related to tinitus. From what we have determined is that most likely ear-tones are not a sound, but a vibration that is perceived as a sound.

Well, that's exactly what tinnitus is, a sound that isn't, but that is perceived as a sound.

I'll grant you, though, that it is possible the ear tones Petra hears may be through bone conduction. Though if this is the case, then it is an actual sound.

A person's cranial cavity could act as a parabolic receiver perhaps? If you think about it, the cranial cavity is usually pointing toward the earth like a satellite antenna pointing toward a satellite.

I can think of several viable possibilities for these ear tones, but I can't think of one bit of harm that could come from sharing one's research and allowing others to build on it real time.

>Too many of those and when the day comes when an accurate prediction is made no one is going to listen.

One accurate prediction won't be a measure of success. It will likely be a measure of random selection, much like winning the lottery. If Petra and you truly succeed in your work, there will be no problem convincing the world regardless of how many failed predictions preceded you. Success is built on truth and truth speaks for itself. You can't lose.
