Hola Farsight, I happened to be using a different search engine today, and came upon your post here: http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=102392 At one point you say "The vortex is in the particle, not in the intervening space." I was wondering what you thought of this: http://www.scribd.com/doc/68152826/On-Vortex-Particles-Fiasco-Press-Journal-of-Swarm-Scholarship It also references the 'Mobius electron' paper of Williamson and Van der Mark, and seems to extend the idea to other particles. Take care, -EtherDais
