N1 - This paper introduces a new (simple and highly effective)way to predict crystal structures. It effectively introduces a "paradigm shift" in the approach to total energy calculations. I apply it to high pressure silane, and predict that at about 260GPa it will become a superconductor with a very high Tc. I developed the method, and did all the calculations. RJN and I wrote the paper together. RJN suggested the application
