Heavy element production in MM

The book QED is very easy to read and understand and it is short too. You don't have to know anything about QM to get something out of reading it and Faynman says the model he is teaching does not require the most debated concepts in the QM machine. I see QM as a machine and that is not in the book. Basically he uses a single sized arrow to represent a quantum of energy and applies the known energy effects to the arrow and its clones. It is a good read.

Jim,

I see that you refer to the author Faynman, or do you mean Feynmann?

Jan, Spelling is one of those things I don't do well so you are right.

It's Feynman not Feynmann.

Yes, that's a revealing look at the basic concepts involved in QED.
I suspect that the term QED is coined somewhat tongue in cheek since it also means "Quod Erat Demonstratum" (preferred by Newton). This is a statement that you cannot use lightly because it means you are betting your career on the accuracy of your work. That would be "Feynman-esque" I think. ;o)

EBEX, Thanks for the correction of spelling-the term QED is of little interest also. What did you get out of the book? I got a lot of very good ideas about energy.
