Are there more major contradictions to come? Is it worth moving forward, or should I switch to a different source?
I started a paper as a preliminary to a reevaluation of electric theory that starts with a comparison of Larson versus RS2 models of the photon and 1-dimensional rotation. I will post the first 7 pages of that--haven't really even proofread it yet, so it might be a nice time to get some comments from the new folks as to how understandable it is. It assumes you've at least made an attempt to read Larson's basic material, and tries to clarify it and show the differences with RS2. I will do it as a separate topic, to make it easier to find.

Is this still considered current or correct? Having a background in biology/pathology, there's no way 45nm could be unit size, evidenced by electron micrograph images like the one below. Everything else seems so elegant, so hopefully you guys can enlighten me or show me what I misunderstood?
The only thing we can observe and measure is the
linear distance between locations in 3D space, where time runs constant. That is what you see in a microscope.
Atoms, however, are composed of temporal rotation--moving outward in time, and by the inverse relation between time and space, also moving
inward in space. So place two atoms at 1 unit apart, 45.5 nm, and the temporal, rotating systems "suck" them closer together via gravitation, reducing the apparent, "linear spatial" distance between them. The larger the atom, the stronger the pull and the shorter the distance. Larson address this mathematically in
Basic Properties of Matter in the chapter on Inter-atomic distances.
You only get the 45.5 nm separation at unit speed--once atoms are involved, the temporal motion that creates the gravitation that holds them together pulls them closer (in equivalent space).
