That says absolutely nothing.  It's just a rather dubious and hollow
claim.    

I'd definitely hesitate on calling this a "theory".  At best, maybe a
"conjecture".  More likely, it's a "halucination".

: It's going to replace "'quantum' mechanics, and Unify Physics...
: when I write of "what's described by 2nd Thermo (wdb2t)", I'm invoking TH.
: What's referred to as "gravity" is already Unified in TH, and what's referred
: to as "time" is reduced to the one-way flow of energy that is wdb2t. And so
: forth. I know of no experimental result that can challenge TH, and TH points
: to stuff that had not even been dreamed of prior to TH.

So far, your words are "content-free".

One mark of a good theory is that it makes new predictions which can be
experimentally verified or disproven.  What predictions does TH make?  If
it is as good as you claim, it must make quite a few.

My rommate was amused.
 
: When I found my Obligation with respect to "Prejudice", that led
: to Neuroscience, which I went at as I'd been trained to go at Physics... seek
: Mastery. 

Just what training in Physics have you had?  Where, what courses,
how many courses?  Any degrees? 

: So, when the Disorder in Neuroscience
: threatened to "cave me in", I took up my old Physics texts, and read them like
: novels... "just" to "drink-in" the Order inherent in them.

A rather worthless pursuit.  If you're going to read them, read them
for understanding.

: But to my delight, my studies in Neuroscience "fed-back" to my studies in the
: Physical Sciences, and, then, vice versa... =both= endeavors "became
: "Great-Friends". I like to  try to get Tapered Harmony's point across by
: saying, "I looked in the brain, and Saw the Universe."

If you want to get the point of Tapered Harmony across, why not explain
what it is?  Making some kind of cryptic comment about it like that does
nothing to explain it -- it only leaves the listener puzzled by what 
you mean.  The point of communication is to convey information.  That
comment fails miserably.

: When Mathematicians "calculate", for instance, what
: they're actually doing is =all= "Thermodynamics", and their "calculations"
: =all= reduce directly to wdb2t.

By the way, the goal of Mathematicians is not "calculation".

: In my own work, I "cut the overhead" and do
: all my Calculations via wdb2t. 

Whatever that means.

: As a result, I've been able to do things on PCs
: that still remain only "dream stuff" for machines and folks who still
: Calculate in the old-long-Familiar way. 

Such as ...

: I've named this Mathematics "Galois
: Analysis", after Evariste Galois, in Tribute to him because he and I are
: "Brothers" in-Spirit.

Are you claiming to be an algebraicist, too?

: I've asked folks in Mathematics to help me translate
: this Math into terms that're Familiar to them so that others can have access
: to it, but never received any responses.

I'm not surprised. 

: I used a simple form of this Math to
: do a Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT), that's been widely-circulated, but
: as far as I know, not formally-published.

You've proven Fermat's last theorem, too?  Why not post it, but in a
mathematics group, please.  Or on a web page.
 
: Nothing of my work in the Physical Sciences and Mathematics has been
: formally-published... at least not by me. 

You should submit it.  Editors and reviewers enjoy a little humor
on occasion.

: I'd like to get on with that, but
: for the last 29 years, the Neuroscience Stuff has always been the
: more-pressing need.

Just what "Neuroscience Stuff" have you done?

: I expect some folks now Understand that it's been a
: very-High-stakes =Race= to get the Neuroscience stuff Communicated (which is
: Why there's so much "desperation" in what I post, and Why I so-often discuss
: "Savagery", and how it arises in the Biology).

I don't think that's the reason for your despiration. 

: I've only discussed Tapered Harmony's stuff in online places, mainly, in the
: Hope that folks in Physics would See it's stuff, and that that would win a
: Hearing for the more-"Difficult" stuff of the Neuroscience theory. (They Saw
: it, and "borrowed" it, it seems, without giving anything back to the Children.
: It's a Sorrow.)

Who has borrowed it?  What have they done with it?  Have they published
it?

Children?
 
: :-) ...good-grief... I need no "invitation"... when I see something that needs
: Doing, I just =Do= it. The Qs to which I responded are not so consequential.
: I've resolved the general solution to them all in TH. It's just that folks're
: always posting such Qs in whatever online "place" I "habituate"... right or
: wrong, I've come to see them as =possibly= constituting "probes" with respect
: to my understanding, and that's how I treat them... I'm Willing to do the work
: =iff= doing such will win a Hearing for NDT's stuff.

Are you saying that your pollution of this and other newsgroups attracts
people who've never heard of you to come here to ask you questions?  

: ... <snip> ...

: The other thing is that I'm writing for folks who've been following the
: discussion for decades... first via phone calls, conference-stuff, snail-mail,
: then via online discussion groups. 

Can't find anyone who will listen to you?

: There's a =lot= of "ground" to cover. The
: concepts are, I'm told, "difficult", I've got to work around the fact that the
: Biology is inherently-Blind to the Understanding that I'm working to
: Communicate... and most-importantly with respect to your point, I must work in
: a way that will not induce folks to "go off half-cocked".

Hmmm.  To pun or not to pun, that is the question.

Nah.  It's much too obvious, anyway.

: ... <snip> ...

: Honestly, my jaw is hanging-down that I've not been able to find any small
: Academic Community that will give all of this work a Fair and Dispassionate
: Hearing... and it seems to me, because of what I've experienced, in this vein,
: that Science, itself, must be NonExistent. Otherwise, how could it be that one
: who's given everything that a man can give to Science not be Heard-out by
: folks in-Science? Such doesn't compute, does it?

There are areas in science which attract more attention during a period
of time than others.  It can take a while for new ideas to become 
mainstream.  But the way to get them there is to get them published
in peer-reviewed journals.  If your material is not worthy of that,
then there is no reason for anyone to pay attention to it.

You've made a lot of claims about what you've done in many fields.  But
you've said nothing to back up those claims.  Where's the beef?

Why not put up a web site and refer people to it rather than cluttering
up the newsgroups?

Among the things that you could put there:

1) reasons we should consider you an expert in Mathematics, Physics,
and Neuroscience
2) convincing explanations of your various conjectures (term used
politely)
3) your proof of Fermat's Last Theorem
4) whatever you've done on a PC that is "dream stuff" to everyone
else
