Thanks for the response.  I'm not familiar with the term "TOE" but I
sense that your tone is one of disapproval.

My paper is very ambitious of course.  It is an attempt to make sense
of a lot of different puzzles in our present understanding of physics
and to pull everything together and look at it from a different
perspective.   I would appreciate it if you would read the paper
through to the end and consider the ideas.  

Perhaps some testable predictions might occur to you.  I did mention
one in the posting: that of a Michelson-Morley interferometer
experiment but with one arm pointing vertically.  The slowed
decay of muons as they fall to earth which is cited as evidence
for relativity suggests that one.
