Never done this myself. However if you have a new theory, either its theoretical stuff like Stephen Hawking style and you base your theory on a stack of well known theories and prove it that way. Its not known that you are right and so you can't 'proove' it but thats why its a theory. Theory of relativity and so forth.. If it were a physical phenomena that he had a theory on then it would be a matter of devising an experiment to collect measurements and then prove that the theory is correct to a statistical bound like 99% of the time its correct or something. i'm a student myself, so this is just how I'd go about it. Of course usually if a student has some theory then they would probalby need the name of a lecturer ont he paper to give it any credence :) ""Wolfram"" <remove_this!helbrecht@gmx.net> wrote in message news:9n7771$5kdq6$1@ID-40201.news.dfncis.de... > Hello everybody, > > Assumed someone had found out something new.
