Various calculations have recently been solved by ad hoc modifications without a clear explanation.  The solution of equations in quantum electrodynamics were leading to troublesome infinities until Feynman and others renormalized them.  They arbitrarily stopped the calculations a tiny bit short of zero and then everything fell into place.  Another problem has to do with cosmic motions where calculations indicate far more mass than can be observed.

Derived from an Analysis of the Early German Vocabulary

It is well known that proto-Germanic, a prehistoric language that essentially defines the original German people, was diverse and contained both Indo-European and non-Indo-European words.  The origin of any language is always a fascinating topic which reveals a great deal about the people speaking that language and particularly the people who first spoke that language.  What happened in pre-history to bring about the later peoples of historic times may be shrouded in obscurity but, nevertheless, much can be said about human pre-history.  The purpose of this study is to shed some light on the pre-history and origins of the Germanic-speaking people from an analysis of the early German vocabulary.
