Why has the epola model not been adopted as a new standard model and when might it be so?
The vast investment and massive employment in the physics industry of the standard model will not allow distractions readily, consider the cost of particle colliders seeking to advance Quantum Theory, of the search for gravitons and of neutrino research . The peer review system, essential to avoid frivolous distractions, is biased to maintaining the status quo. As also the academic system, which produces new scientists pre-programmed in old science. Only when the extrapolations of misguided science collapse catastrophically, as they must, will alternative models be considered or even reviewed conscientiously. Wait for, perhaps, another 50 years! Yet there is hope, see these two examples: IOP physicsweb in Jan 2003 and AIP Bulletin of Physics News dated Jan 2004. Also, see the papers and articles by Johann Marinek at www.marinsek.com. Of particular relevance is his paper on “Non-convertibility of inertial mass into energy…”, ( http://www.marinsek.com/files/non-convertibility_of_6c52f.
