research papers can all be read by "people in the field". its just that someone who is doing environmental physics doesn't necessarily understand papers on string theory. science is specialized, yea. if you want to understand

You probably just expressed that imprecisely, but companies can not be found to have acted criminally. Crimes can only be committed by bodies that can be put in prison. What they can do is assert that some critical part of technology that u
