    river is only capable of making imaginative, unsubstantiated claims and typical information free "one liners". I bet he is still asking to explain, why, how, who, what, when, and where, without the slightest intention of accepting any answer that conflicts with his imaginative, unsubstantiated claims.

    Agreed

    These 11 dimensions have to agree with any physical object , Galaxies , Quasars etc.

    How do you know that river?
    You haven't read the accounts GS speaks of; how can you decide that they're all truth-seekers without even having studied them?

    Is it possible that you'll believe any story about UFOs without even needing to examine them - let alone with a critical eye?

    https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2015/12/3/9844480/why-people-believe-bullshit-science

    Why people fall for bullshit, according to a scientist:

    "Tell me about your bullshit study," I asked Gord Pennycook, a PhD candidate in psychology at the University of Waterloo in Canada.

    Pennycook is the lead author of a new study wonderfully titled "On the reception and detection of pseudo-profound bullshit."In it, he and his colleagues asked questions no psychologists have touched on before. Such as: What makes a person a good bullshit detector? Why are some people more susceptible to bullshit than others?

    Pennycook's inquiry into bullshit started with a visit to WisdomofChopra.com, which lampoons Deepak Chopra, the writer and spiritualist known for obtuse sayings like "attention & intention are the mechanics of manifestation." The site randomizes Chopraisms to create nonsense sentences:

    There's something uncanny and compelling about these randomly generated nothing statements. They feel substantive at first glance. "I wondered if people actually thought these were profound," Pennycook tells me. So as part of his study, he had people rate these randomly generated tweets. Surprisingly, the average participant rated the gibberish as being between "somewhat profound" and "fairly profound." (Responses to these fake tweets were nearly indistinguishable from the responses to Chopra's real tweets).

    Digging deeper, Pennycook found that acceptance of bullshit statements appears to be related to personal traits such as lower intelligence, belief in the paranormal, and the likelihood of believing in conspiracies.

    Up until now, this hasn't been a major focus of psychological research. Pennycook thinks it should be. "Bullshit is everywhere, so I think we need to know more about it," he says.

    Here's an edited transcript of our conversation

    more at link.....


    Here's a sample of one of the Q+A....
    BR: Let's say I'm interested in becoming a better bullshitter. What are some principles I should follow?

    GP: A good way to do it is insert a lot of buzzwords and be vague.

    If you say something direct, the people who agree with you will like it and the people who don’t won’t like it. But if you say something vague, people will bring what they think it means to it. And then everyone will like it — if you hit the perfect spot

    And, Newton, didn't know gravity as no one expressed the speed of light as a constant.(James Clerk Maxwell)

    But what if he took a risk?

    I ran across a meme:

    ''Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon. Neil A spelled backwards is alien."

    lmao!

    Then this might get a chuckle from you, Wegs :

    From the book "Popular Witchcraft: Straight from the Witch's Mouth" by Jack Fritscher, Anton Szandor La Vey
    " "Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins" people muse. The initials of those first men on the moon are the same as those of the first men on earth. Adam, Abel and Cain."
    Someone somewhere will explain what that means.
    For a dollar, a yen, a buck, or a pound. "
