It's not crap, and you have admitted you are not qualified to call it crap
The problem with Astronomy is that when gravity fails them they turn to maths and create things that do not exist. Again Strong theory, the idea was born and the maths done and redone until it worked, with 10 dimensions.
What I find great about this project is that it is solidly based in observation (@mito Not by me, I just have opinions as stated in the OP I said "IMO") as well as experimentation and results. That and the new telescopes that can see particles propelled by radiation trillions of light years in a jet and be held in shape and direction by electromagnetic fields of immense power which indicates these electric fields extend to great distances.
It's hardly crap I would say, scientists do not even really know what gravity is and so that gives a shaky foundation to any model based on gravity of which we have little understanding, get my point.
What we know to be fact is that when someone's career is based on 40 years of assumptions and maths that do not add up to the reality then ego and vanity make some defend their theories. How often does one or two brilliant ideas get met with dismissal only to be vindicated years later.
The whole theory of how our sun actually works from core to corona is fundamentally flawed and so many experiments and observations have proven the settled science as at best incomplete and at worst totally incorrect. Many experiments and observations have given results totally at odds with mainstream theory.
On the Deep Impact NASA mission they fired an 800 pound copper projectile into a comet. There was an electrical discharge before the projectile impacted and a much bigger explosion than expected. The flash was predicted by the Thunderbolts project team prior to the test taking place, NASA and Astronomy in general did not as they expected it to be a dirty snowball but the footage from that mission clearly shows there was no ice on that comet. Also not expected by NASA or Agronomists was high temperatures and X-ray emissions from cometary comas.
In 2007 Holmes suddenly and unexpectedly brightened by a factor of a million. In less then 24 hours, it grew from a small 17th magnitude comet to a magnitude of 2.5, so large it was easily visible to the naked eye on Earth. Holmes' coma continued expanding until by mid-November of '07 it had become the largest object in the solar system, vastly larger than the Sun. The coma's diameter had grown from 28 thousand kilometers to 7 million km. It was moving away from the sun when this happened.
A comet has passed through the sun, now how does a block of ice pass through the Sun? That also throws the theories about how our Sun is made up and functions into serious doubt.
Sisu, once again you are wrong my friend. Whilst I may not understand the premiss upon which he is working, I have a lifetime of experience of considering the words and deeds of mankind upon which to base my supposition of what I described as crap. Also from my own researches I do have experience of those who have taken pieces of others research and created an almost total new reality (believe me the world a social-science research is far more bewildering then 'the real thing'). Now I know that I am not an astrophysicist and I strongly doubt that you are either therefore on this point I believe that I am entitled to refer to your posting as crap with the same level of authority as you present it as not crap i.e. very little.
), but as of now all we have is maths, until that's proven to not be the answer, what else do we have?
A really creepy guy, looks like a ***** priest
