Please choose ONE of the following questions (the one that you prefer) 

1. Soon & Yaskell "The Maunder Minimum"  
	Great book, fascinating - a story of history, people, science, and individuals who looked at reality and beat the mainstream thinking.  What would you change or add to it now?

	
2. [Electric, Plasma] Universe 
	After more than one hundred plus years, dating back to the work of Birkeland, we now see NASA and NOAA following the lead of amateur scientists and 
	
	
3.	SAFIRE project - Experimental testing of electric models of the Sun
	I suspect that this is one of the greatest modern experiments in physics.  Privately run and financed, located in Toronto, but most of the team and background concepts are American.  Already, they have produced stunning results, and perhaps they will blow away modern fusion power approaches too (that's a stretch)?   
	What are your thoughts, impressions of SAFIRE?
	
	
4.	Sally Ballyunis, Harvard-Smithsonian Institute of Astro-physicists
	Sally Ballyunis, a colleague of yours, was an inspriation in the [early, dark] days of the science religion of "CO2 as the primary driver of climate since the 1850s".  What happened to force her to quit, and how is she doing now?
	
	
6.	Fractional Order Calculus
	A small but growing number of scientific papers related to complex phenomena in [fluid mechanics, magneto-hydrodynamics, advanced neural networks] is using "fractional order calculus".  Have you looked into this, and if so, what are some of your thoughts as to whether it will create the same kind of [scientific, engineering] advance as normal calculus did starting at the time Isaac Newton and Liebniz were arguing about who invented it?
