I knew you thought that. I was just not taking you for granted.I was being nice in my previous post. But, since you asked, Yep. You fit the bill to a T.

And DH replied...I simply start where science leaves off, i.e. what is the cause of the initial expansion of our observable universe. Does that question make your press your lips and look off into the distance? If not, you don't understand the motivation.
So I guess you don't understand the motivation. I do.DH said:I was being nice in my previous post. But, since you asked, Yep. You fit the bill to a T.
I understand where you stand. You probably have no reason to post here at all unless you have an agenda of saving the world from the likes of me. Actually that agenda is off topic.I fully understand the motivation to extend humanity's understanding of the universe. What I don't understand is what motivates crackpots to think they are anywhere near capable of doing so.
BTW, I would be willing to moderate the Cosmology forum for awhile if that would help.
I don't think I got irate but I think you were not interested in a wagner (wild arse guess not easily refuted) about the number of quanta in a proton. I had tried to give some perspective to my thinking and you got irritated that I couldn't quantify the quantum. I was only trying to put it into perspective for talking purposes by saying it would have to be so tiny that it can't be measured. I offered a wagner to put my thinking into perspective. You wanted quantification and came back with the same insistence three times. I couldn't quantify it and conceded that. It was in my first thread at Sciforums which I started in the Pseudoscience forum under the name, "Mass has Gravity". That is my side to the story.Previously I asked you where one of your predictions came from, and you became irate because it soon emerged that your answer was nothing more than "it's the first small number I thought of".
No, I still cannot do any better on the energy of a quantum in QWC.Has your work taken you to a point where you can answer such questions?
This is not being presented as theory, or didn't you notice that?What are your postulates? Where are the derivations from these postulates. And what predictions have you made from these derivations? Show us the numbers, and how you got them....
Some people are not interested in discussing ideas about what came before the Big Bang, or what causes mass and gravity if they are alternative to standard theory. Science does not know what caused the initial expansion of our observable universe. I am discussing possible alternatives. I like the idea that a big crunch preceded the Big Bang for reasons I have recently stated.*I'm not trying to dig at you here. I genuinely like to learn about new areas of physics, so if you have a viable alternative to modern theories, or even some interesting ground work on an alternative approach, then I'd love to learn about it. However, I'm not interested in why you think fairies made the universe out of cheese, and why this explanation is better than current models because it doesn't require knowledge of graduate level mathematics.*
So it is a story about cheese fairies! If not, tell us how it differs from a story about cheese fairies. The answer should not take pages and pages and pages.This is not being presented as theory, or didn't you notice that?
I do respond to serious questions. Do you have one?So it is a story about cheese fairies! If not, tell us how it differs from a story about cheese fairies. The answer should not take pages and pages and pages.
Granted, quantum_wave's ideas are more philosophical musings than scientific theory but I just don't understand the vitriol. If you don't find the thread interesting just ignore it (and him)...prometheus said:As I said previously, you want morons like RJ to come and pat you on the head and tell you how smart you are.
I fully understand the motivation to extend humanity's understanding of the universe. What I don't understand is what motivates crackpots to think they are anywhere near capable of doing so.

This isn't vitriol. It's much, much milder than what scientists and engineers do to each other. If he didn't want people to ask to see what's behind the curtain he shouldn't have posted in one of sciforum's science fora.
What is tame about the idea that a big crunch was the origin of the initial expansion of our observable universe? You realize that a “big crunch” can’t appear out of nowhere any more than a cheese fairy can appear out of nothing don’t you? It isn’t tame to support the idea that our big crunch was formed out the intersection and overlap of two “parent” expanding arenas each similar in energy content to our own is it?"Worthless crap" Pretty much. Calling names? Yet another sign this forum needs more active moderation. quantum_wave's QWC looks pretty tame compared to some of the other stuff that has been posted in this sub forum.
No, we are generally more polite to one another because we generally know that each of us is competant in both the quantitative and qualitative sides of the theory we discuss and we both understand the scientific method. Someone saying "My theory talks about the origin of the big bang" will get absolutely nowhere unless they can answer questions like "Can you show such a claim from postulates?" or "How did you go about deriving such a result?". Sometimes something as simple as "Are you sure Step 1 implies Step 2?" can be enough for someone to say "Oh, you're right. I'm incorrect". QW hasn't done anything of the sort, despite being completely unable to link his claimed steps via logic or derivation.Scientists and engineers use words like "dullard", "moron", "worthless crap" and "BS box" when discussing ideas? Yikes
By which you take 'possibilities' to mean it doesn't immediately self contradict itself. It's easy to come up with one or two sentence claims which are not immediately self contradictory, it's chlids play. The problem with that means you can't use that as a way to justify something as 'science'. Gravity is the effect of invisible fairies pushing things towards one another. Is that worth investigating? Obviously not. It's made up on the spot and it's absurd. Just because you happen to use particular buzzwords you don't understand doesn't mean your claims are any less absurd, you just aren't able to realise that due to profound and self inflicted ignorance.. The formation of a big crunch from the intersection and overlap of two expanding arenas in space seems to have possibilities:
Translation : "Help me veil my random, made up and unjustified claims in sufficiently technical speak that even less people will be able to tell there's nothing to my claims, I want to swindle as many people as possible.". Rebranded **** is still ****.Help me say that in a way that is scientific enough to get over the short comings of the messenger and get to the point where the ideas can be discussed.
Oh God, a new sig and it's not even my birthday!AlphaNumeric said:No, we are generally more polite to one another because we generally know that each of us is competant
Same point, but I try to be polite. If you feel you have pointed out QWC's problems and quantum_wave simply refuses to accept what you're saying then just move on. You realize he's blocked your correspondence and can't see what you post anyway, right?RJBeery said:Do you have any experience with programming? A graphic simulation of this would help visualize things and also test the theory's plausibility.
