If Im honest I think you cant fault me for saying 100% what I believe. Im not skirting around the issues. Im not being vague and Im even giving you the opportunity to prove me wrong and telling you what would be required to do so. By saying clearly stating what I (and to be frank every scientist) believes to be true is about as fair as I can make this.
It wasnt what you said, someone else read my post and assumed I had said something I hadnt. Then you followed on without thinking if they were right or wrong. There have been dozens of threads on here where someone says something in the first post and a few posts later they are either misinterpreted or another poster ignores what they have said completely. OTOH you cant exactly diss me for covering my butt.
Im giving specific examples and the unknown cases, Im even saying that if you (or anyone else in the world) can find even one example in the universe that disproves anything Ive said then Ill eat my words. Im not hiding behind vague things like what ifs or simply (as you are) saying I just think youre incorrect without explaining why. If you can show any fault in what Ive said then please let me know.
Pretty much what I have said. There have been many instances of scientists who have produced stuff that looks good but has been proven to be made up out of whole cloth. You cant depend on others to be as upright and honest as you are. Most theories are now in the same dustbin that the world is flat occupies, they cant all be right, there are far too many of them.
At that point Im with you 100%, willing to learn and will be writing a book on it.
The point is, you cant.
Im actually pretty well up on the theories, I need to be for the SF books I write, and they are based on facts. Latest ive had a look at is string-net liquid, most are damn confusing or counter intuitive at least in part. Things happen that I at least wouldnt expect. One scientist indicated a theory to me and said it "wasnt anywhere near mad enough" and Im pretty sure he wasnt kidding me either. The issue now isnt so much what happens, which is where the laws are, but how and why.
One of the biggest items that was brushed under the carpet by science is how the Big Bang works, there are a few possibilities, removing gravity is one of them, but in most cases you dont have a Bang at all, not as originally described, and if you dont have a get around you end up with a perpetual singularity.
BTW I never look at the ratings, the only people who bother most of the time are trolls :mrgreen:
