Maybe slower?

Strange you never heard of lanl site (SPIRES is mostly high-energy and phys-math). Then I bet you read some journals, with an institutional subscription i.e. practically for free.

Maybe you are a renaissance kind of a complete mind, though, close to that contemporary genius.... errr.. who?
