	<htmltext>Europeans have achieved amazing results in science and technology.  A German and a Brit co-invented calculus.  A team of Germans invented the guided missile.  Numerous Germans, French men and women, British men and women, etc.  built most of humankind's knowledge of quantum physics:  Europeans dominate the holders of the Nobel Prize in physics.
<p>
Though the Japanese are slightly less accomplished in fundamental science than the Europeans, the Japanese have done quite well in applied science -- specifically, high technology.  Most patents for the modern LCD screen are owned by Japanese companies.  A Japanese invented blue LED.  The Japanese own most patents on hybrid automotive engines and powertrains.
</p><p>
Noticeably missing among scientific high achievers are Africans.  Why have Africans accomplished almost nothing in science and technology?
</p><p>
We know that African IQ is about 20 points less than Japanese IQ.  Could this IQ difference explain why Africans fail in any human endeavor that requires an understanding of advanced mathematics?  Could this IQ difference explain why all nations dominated by Africans are impoverished?

	<htmltext>  Now the nanotechnical analyses are returning innovation in step with the scale, and the next generation of ULSIC chips is emerging with sparkling clarity. Data density is the key factor in nano/picoscale progress, the Finnish-Australian achievement shows. If the femtoscale horizon can be challenged that will give talented researchers like these the control over the crucial topological features of electrons, energy, and force fields to utilize quantum effects and relativistic factors.  Exact mathematical modeling by 3D interactive atomic wavefunction calculations is the infodense method capable of timely research turnaround and advanced single-atom analysis and design work. New components depend on that type of virtual atom model over SEM/AFM optical techniques to generate relevant research data on the picoyoctoscale topology of individual atoms.

  Recent advancements in quantum science have produced the picoyoctometric, 3D, interactive video atomic model imaging function, in terms of chronons and spacons for exact, quantized, relativistic animation. This format returns clear numerical data for a full spectrum of variables.  The atom's RQT (relative quantum topological) data point imaging function is built by combination of the relativistic Einstein-Lorenz transform functions for time, mass, and energy with the workon quantized electromagnetic wave equations for frequency and wavelength.

  The atom labeled psi (Z) pulsates at the frequency {Nhu=e/h} by cycles of {e=m(c^2)} transformation of nuclear surface mass to forcons with joule values, followed by nuclear force absorption.  This radiation process is limited only by spacetime boundaries of {Gravity-Time}, where gravity is the force binding space to psi, forming the GT integral atomic wavefunction.  The expression is defined as the series expansion differential of nuclear output rates with quantum symmetry numbers assigned along the progression to give topology to the solutions.

  Next, the correlation function for the manifold of internal heat capacity energy particle 3D functions is extracted by rearranging the total internal momentum function to the photon gain rule and integrating it for GT limits.  This produces a series of 26 topological waveparticle functions of the five classes; {+Positron, Workon, Thermon, -Electromagneton, Magnemedon}, each the 3D data image of a type of energy intermedon of the 5/2 kT J internal energy cloud, accounting for all of them.

  Those 26 energy data values intersect the sizes of the fundamental physical constants:  h, h-bar, delta, nuclear magneton, beta magneton, k (series).  They quantize atomic dynamics by acting as fulcrum particles.  The result is the picoyoctometric, 3D, interactive video atomic model data point imaging function, responsive to keyboard input of virtual photon gain events by relativistic, quantized shifts of electron, force, and energy field states and positions.

  Images of the h-bar magnetic energy waveparticle of ~175 picoyoctometers are available online at <a href="http://www.symmecon.com/" title="symmecon.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.symmecon.com/</a> [symmecon.com] with the complete RQT atomic modeling manual titled The Crystalon Door, copyright TXu1-266-788.
