    The problem is, sooner or later, you both end up with an unsolvable paradox that's solved by adding layer upon layer of turtles.

  3. Sorry to break it to you, Pix, but putting your faith in the Establishment will get you nowhere.

    Whereas you put your faith in crackpot gardeners and hobbyist have-a-go youtube cosmologists.

    Carry on Kipper, I'm not even going to try and dissuade you, you're too far gone mate.

    Stephen Crothers wiki page makes for good reading <laugh>

    "In 2005, Crothers was expelled from the University of New South Wales; all the sordid details of the incident are chronicled at his website, which he falsely attributes to "suppression of science".[14] Undeterred by his forced dismissal from academics, Crothers would soon go on to receive an honorary doctorate degree from the Maxwell Einstein University;[15][16] a fake, make-believe school created by his colleague and partner in crime, Myron Evans, for the sole purpose of doling out phony diplomas to his cohorts and cronies."

    The following is a list of mathematicians and physicists who have fully analyzed his far-fetched claims (see linked References below). One and all have unanimously concluded that not only is Crothers downright rude and obnoxious,[20][38][39] he is also a colossal waste of time: "The plethora of articles by the author (Stephen J. Crothers), which are largely identical, do not warrant serious contemplation by qualified scientists and mathematicians".[40]

    I'm neither a mathematician nor a physicist. More accurately, I'm a gardener and home handyman who does science in his spare time.
    —Stephen J. Crothers[1]

    Just when you think poor old HIAG simply can’t get any sadder, he wheels out his full on crank beliefs.

    Another one of their cult leaders. David Talbot, peddling nonsense to gullible saps like HIAG:

    David N. Talbott (1942–) is a self-taught comparative mythologist and long-time promoter of neo-Velikovskian nonsense. Inspired by Immanuel Velikovsky (1895–1979), Talbott uses ancient mythological tales as evidence (his so-called proof) that Earth was at one time in orbit around Saturn (within recent human memory, no less), and a litany of other equally ridiculous claims.[1]

    Talbott, along with fellow shyster Wallace Thornhill, is directly involved with the day-to-day operation (the business/money side) of the Electric Universe (a cult that masquerades as science[2]); peddling incredulous books and DVDs, and holding exorbitantly-priced workshops and conferences — in short, fleecing the gullible.[3][4] Talbott also runs the Thunderbolts Forum website; a recruitment center for new pockets to be picked.[5]

    Wow. Trusting scientists who studied for years in institutions taking exams, getting peer reviewed and following the scientific method will get you nowhere.

    But believing a crackpot gardener with no degree, hasn't passed any exams, hasn't been peer reviewed, but hes on YouTube will get you everywhere because he's not the establishment.

    That's sticking it to the Man, man.

  11. Wow!

    The mafia science establishment, that takes billions of tax payers’ dollars in making sure that we never learn anything, so that they keep getting paid to “teach” you the secrets of the Universe, attacking proper science endeavour that actually provides real answers based on classical physics!

    What a surprise!

    That’s never happened before!

    Most scientific breakthroughs have come from outside the field, many by enthusiastic amateurs. It is the “experts,” blinkered by their blind adherence to a fixed, unchanging paradigm, who are very often the last to accept change.

    So you’re saying that current scientific positions are based on some huge, undefined ‘mafiosa’ style conspiracy to suppress knowledge and somehow leverage tax payers cash?

    Wowzers.

    It seems to be a common theme amongst conspiracy theorists to make wild accusations about barmy global conspiracies in order to somehow try and justify their positions. It comes across as nothing more than foot stomping to me, accept my unproven and hole filled alternative reality or I’ll label you a stooge.

    My data analysis shows that you mention dildos and/or other men’s penises in 92.4% of your posts.

    The other 7.6% of your posts are about someone called Quentin.

    Spurlock and Hoddle is a god like this.
  21. That’s rather sweeping and simplistic, but... yes.
