Well no one has heard from Dr. J in the last day or so. I think the blast that destroyed his laboratory, has got Dr. J down. Last I heard, he was not feeling so good. He was taking it easy, recuperating and looking over some plans for a new laboratory. While awaiting news, I have been examining some of the frames taken during the explosion. Frankly, there is not much to be seen. Just more blast. Here is a typical example, Figure 1. Here we see Dr. J partly obscured by the blast. Some debris may be parts of experimental apparatus. There would seem to be little hope of determining what went wrong. Without placing blame, I might suggest that perhaps the source of the fractal formula Dr. J was examining at the time may be able to provide key elements of the puzzle.
