Ronald Mallett
In an edit to the Ronald Mallett entry, you wrote:


 * In a recent paper by Ken D. Olum and Allen Everett the authors claimed to have disproved Dr. Mallett's hypothesis yet Dr. Mallett maintains that this paper is founded on a physical misconception. A constraint is needed to confine the circulating light beam to a cylindrical path. This is taken into account in his paper as a geometrical constraint. Dr. Mallett has attempted to contact the authors about this misconception but so far they have not responded.

Can you tell me where you got this information about Mallett's response? It would be good to add a citation to the article, I couldn't find a response by Mallett on arxiv.org. Thanks. Hypnosifl 14:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
