    About 50 micrograms of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide should reverse the rainbow for you. Or a small cup of ergot infected rye seed. After all color is just the brains interpretation of wavelength. Who needs Quantum Physics. Although I must admit I haven't heard much about ergot poisonings lately, so maybe it is a victim of global warming or mutation .

    Tim, I'm convinced that you simply have no filter between your thought process and your typing fingers. Before you type anything or start a new thread, you should think to yourself, "does this really make sense?" If there is any question, then don't start the thread.

    Leave the book writing to the scholars. There is nothing you could add to the topic that anyone else would pay for. Not being mean, just being honest.

    Although I agree with the others, in that you shouldn't write a book, I don't agree with the way in which they're telling you.

    I'm all for doses of reality but this is an educational community, lets keep the snarky comments to a minimum (or do it by PM).

    Are you going to write it and send out queries to get it published or are you going to post it here (for free)??????? ;)

    Are you going to put it up online with a price so I can get it for free via a file-sharing program? :p

    In all honesty if you are interested in writing a book do it. Write it for yourself before anyone else. Enjoy the process of researching your information and learning more about your chosen subject. Ignore all of the pessimists. Don't do it to try and sustain a living off of it because that is highly unlikely. Write it because you enjoy writing and enjoy your hobby.

    Maybe even instead of writing a formal book make it as an addition to your website or create a new website dedicated to it. Learn a little bit about SEOs and you could potentially get a bigger audience than with a formal book.
