  2. It is known that no force can prevent the collapse of matter into a black hole. So imagining a "certain force" that would cause a black hole to explode is just fantasy. This is a science forum and, even in the Speculations area, we expect ideas to be supported by existing science and evidence. Just making stuff up is not science. "Frozen in time" sound like you were saying it was ... well, you know, frozen in time and therefore would always be there. If you just mean that it would slow and then disappear, then maybe that is what you should say. There is nothing outside the universe. The universe has no boundary. Because Hawking radiation occurs outside the even horizon.
  3. This is not true, partly for the reason you give: there will be a finite number of photons edited before you fall through the event horizon, therefore you would only be visible for a finite time. Also because the event horizon would expand to encompass the extra mass. Why? There is no basis for imagining such a thing. You might as well say, "imagine the black hole is a unicorn's egg". It makes as much sense. The makes the rest of your post pretty much irrelevant. You are assuming a black hole with the mass of the entire universe - that sounds implausible. Also, the Big Bang does not have anything in common with an explosion of stuff into empty space.
  4. ! Moderator Note If you want discuss your idea, do it here ! Moderator Note You need to provide evidence for your beliefs/delusions. There is no requirement for others to explain reality to you.
  5. If you followed the "alphabet" link from that page, you would learn how Phoenician (and nearly all other alphabets) is derived from Egyptian. Good grief. Firstly, that has nothing to do with golf. Secondly, that page tells you that Old Persian took the writing system from Sumerian / Akkadian. It is still nonsensical numerology, whatever you call it. Just because you can use letters to write numbers doesn't mean that the numbers have any magic significance. Only someone truly deluded could think there is any meaning to numerology.
  6. We are not talking about Hebrew, the language, but the Hebrew alphabet which, like nearly all the alphabets use in Europe and the Middle East. Wrong. The Greek alphabet comes from Phoenician, which is derived from Aramaic. This is what is known as "folk etymology" (or, less formally, bollocks). The letter derives from Egyptian giml, which means a hunting club.
  7. Theories require to be confirmed by, or consistent with, evidence. If they can't be validated by use of evidence then they should be discarded. This is not my subject, but I have seen some attempts to test his ideas; from what I remember most of them are, as would be expected, just nonsense. It may be of historical interest. Or an insight into his personality and psychological problems.

  9. ! Moderator Note As the OP is not interested in discussion and apparently only posted to promote some Creationist lies, this thread is closed.
  10. It can be a real science, as long as it relies on high quality evidence and not Freudian fairy-tales.
  11. Unless you define what you mean by "positional reality" and "positional virtuality" and how you would measure distances between them ... perhaps not.
  12. This is one of the best I have seen:
  13. This the etymological fallacy. Science does have a (secondary) meaning of “knowledge” but that does just mean any knowledge. It specifically means knowledge gained by the scientific method Too much of this “knowledge” is just made up, not based on any evidence: Freud, Maslow, etc
  14. How do you know that is accurate? Your bible might be mistaken about that. Or the people who wrote it might be lying.
  15. As there is no evidence that "they" even exist, this is a completely irrational conclusion. The rest of your post could form the basis of a bad science-fiction movie, but appears totally divorced from reality. There is no evidence for any of it; it is purely in your imagination.
  16. Then they are wrong. It is entirely coincidental that it looks vaguely like a peg. The letter A doesn't look like an ox, either. The shape of the original Egyptian character looks like a plausible hook - but that probably evolved from an earlier symbol, as well. Don'r be stupid. The writing system wasn't invented by a god. (This is off topic but it is obviously more interesting than numerology, which can only be believed by people who are really stupid.)
  17. It says it "looks like" a tent peg, not that it means or is derived from the symbol for tent peg. They correctly say that it means "hook". There is equal likelihood of errors in both. That is, presumably, one of the reasons why the parts of the Bible copied from older Sumerian texts differ from the originals.
  18. I can imagine there are a few minor engineering problems to be overcome. I look forward to you confirming this. How long do you think it will take?
  19. Depends how you define "solid" I guess. Just noticed a thread title about measurement of volume, which made me think of Archimedes principle which captures what I am trying to say. If you have a metal sphere with a volume (ie a measure of the space it occupies) of 1m3, for example, and place it in water then it will displace the same volume of water from that space to the space outside the sphere.
  20. That isn't what I meant (but I can sort of see how it could be read like that). Within an object the space is filled by whatever the object is made of (wood, metal, blood, etc). Outside the object space is filled with air or interstellar medium or ... well, blood, maybe!
  21. I would say that everything that exists, exists in space. It is not space itself.
  22. In that case I shall request this thread is closed as your claims have nothing to do with science. What you believe to be an error is probably just a lack of understanding on your part. But that is irrelevant because what matters is the science, and that has been confirmed repeatedly. It would not matter even if the thought experiment were totally wrong. It led to a theory that has been confirmed. Unless you have evidence that contradicts the theory (you don't) then your opinions are irrelevant.
  23. ! Moderator Note This is (a) nonsense and (b) off topic. Thread closed. If you want to make claims like this, do it in the Speculations forum and be prepared to provide evidence.
  24. A pendulum will run slower on the moon. But this is nothing to do with time dilation, just the way the weaker gravity affects motion. A clock that does not involve motion, such as atomic clock, will run faster on the moon because of time dilation.
  25. I came across a couple of articles that, for different reasons, argue that string theory cannot be correct. The first, from the failure to find evidence for supersymmetry: https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2019/02/12/why-supersymmetry-may-be-the-greatest-failed-prediction-in-particle-physics-history/ The second looks at the types of universes that are possiblest in string theory: https://www.quantamagazine.org/dark-energy-may-be-incompatible-with-string-theory-20180809/
