What theory is there to understand what makes you feel so special that you
are exempt from copyrights?

Cite information is only part of most copyrights.

Most also include the requirement that the copied material be part of
a larger critique, commentary, or evaluation.

jimp, you just don't get it! When a person is "saving the world" you 
then leap into the class of "superhero" and the rules of ordinary life 
don't apply to you. To effect your saving you must assume the "ends 
justifies the means". We see the clear application of this as Sam 
violates copyrights as well as the rules of honesty in science. The fact 
that he's "saving the world" makes it all OK!

   Now, now, jimp, you're obsessive nature is outta control, and your
   absolute contempt and total disgust are addressed in these Anger

=============================
what s the big deal with magnetism??

the core of earth contains a lot of iron 
andiron family  
if it is arranged to directto some common direction !
for most of it
you get magnetism

Plasma gves Earth's its MF.Its fits with the sun and Jupiter.Best to forget earth's core works like a generator.Think nCurie  Trebert
