Jonathan,
I discuss the Jenkins and Fischbach data in "The Chromodynamics War" and propose that, based on my model of particle physics, it is due to solar neutrinos. I do not know what the CME mechanisms are, but if they result in an increase of solar neutrinos, this would be consistent with my model. This seems to be much simpler than "a topological space-time fabric".
In fact, I just googled and found: "Aug 30, 2010 - Jenkins and Fischbach suggest that the changes in the decay rates are due to interactions with solar neutrinos, nearly weightless particles ..."
This was what I suggested to them in 2009 when I sent them a complimentary copy of "The Chromodynamics War" upon receipt of permission to publish their data.
I'm also interested in your remarks about possible difference in the speed of light and gravity. Are there any arXiv or viXra papers on this?
Also, if you or Tom would explain the angular momentum problem, I would be interested.
And, FYI, I have gotten another competent physicist interested in Kauffmann's work. (Each one teach one!)
I don't know how you stay so up to date on these topics. Do you sleep?
Best regards,
Edwin Eugene Klingman
