xxein: Well? That's Einstein. It's also Stachel. What are you
prepared to do about it?

I do not pretend to know the physics that you present all that well,
but I do know that emission theories don't work.

So, quit trying to make them work with quotes that have no real
physical context attached to them.

Whoops! I made an enemy. But I like to see the quotes, anyway.
