  1. So it is clearly an interesting set of experiments but apparently is not a model of (all) quantum effects.
  2. Here is an update to this (only 6 years late). Apparently Couder and his team did claim to recreate the results of the double-slit experiment in 2015 (I missed that). But more recent experiments have failed to reproduce it. And a simple thought experiment shows that the de Broglie pilot wave model cannot work.

  3. Why haven't you submitted this model to a peer-reviewed journal? You are much more likely to get expert feedback that way. How well does our model match the orbits of galaxy clusters? And what about all the other evidence for dark matter?
  4. Quite. Nearly all new theories are refinements of the ones they “replace”.
  5. Imagine that. People on the Internet might not be American. Who ever would have thought it. ps. -1 for “sheeple” and general factually incorrect rantiness
  6. It is not at all clear that is the original intended meaning. And isn't that what elections are for?
  7. Perhaps because it is an unsafe file format. How do you determine the value of Me?
  8. If by "proven" you mean "having more evidence than another competing theory" then this might be true. But, actually, no it isn't. GR is "more proven" than Newtonian gravity (it can explain things that Newtonian gravity gets wrong for example), but Newtonian gravity has not lost its scientific value. Your description seems to be almost the exact opposite of how science works. A theory is not rejected because another one is "proven" but when it can no longer explain the evidence. For example, for a long time there was a debate about whether the big-bang or the steady-state model (or models) was more accurate. This was resolved when the CMB was discovered. Not because this "proved" the big-bang model but because it disproved the alternatives (they could not explain this evidence). So a theory or hypothesis loses its value when it can no longer explain the evidence.
  9. Not much to do with evolution though, is it. Is your stereotyping of Muslims affecting your intelligence? They will be so disappointed after they die and find its not true.

    .

    1. This should be in the Speculations section of the forum 2. You need to explain your idea here, not in a document 3. I would advise people against downloading potentially dangerous files from an unknown source 4. Not everyone will be able to read an odt file (that is a document template) so it would be better to post a pdf. I can’t read your document and so can’t comment on it
  11. You know you have lost when you cite the Daily Mail as a source.
  12. I don't really understand what the comment you linked to is trying to say. In the later comment where Einstein is quoted as saying: Someone seems to have misinterpreted this. He isn't saying that it's not geometrical; he is saying it is no more geometrical than any other physical theory (which is entirely true: you can express electromagnetism in geometrical terms, for example).
  13. Mainly water. Plus small amounts of salts, minerals, other organic molecules, etc.
  14. If that includes an installation of Mac OS, you may be violating copyright by distributing it.
  15. Where does that come from? I don't think it can be correct. After all, SR is a purely geometrical description of the relation between space and time. Einsteins started by considering SR under conditions of acceleration. Then he considered what would be observed by an observer on a rotation disk (for example, they would measure a different value for pi) and so he realised he needed to consider non-Euclidean (curved) geometry. His reluctance here may have been that the mathematics is very complex and (despite the fact he was not the mathematical dummy some claim) he found it daunting. He then worked with a friend, Marcel Grossman, to learn about differential geometry and tensors. More here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_general_relativity
  16. We have no evidence for, or theory of, “gravitational particles” (if by that you mean graviton). GR is a classical theory; ie not quantised. Mass isn’t lost to the gravitational field. Just like charge isn’t lost because it creates an electric field.
  17. I believe so. BTW I think one reason for extreme wear in early human teeth was grit from stones used to mill grains
  18. No, it is slowly worn away. (Or, with a more modern diet, decay.) I think this is one of the characteristics of teeth of early humans; they are often found with the enamel worn right through. Which must have made eating quite painful.
  19. I don’t know what you mean by “density of space” (it seems to be a meaningless phrase). Gravitational waves are generated by certain types of asymmetrical systems, such as two bodies orbiting one another. They are not generated by a stationary mass.
  20. Gravitational waves cause alternate stretching and squeezing in directions at right angles to the direction of travel. It causes no permanent change to the space it passes through - in the same way that a ripple on a pond leaves the water level the same after it passes.
  21. I think you can but it won’t help because the account and password will still be the same. You only get to create a new username & password if you do a clean install. And then you have lost the data. Did you create the user using a Microsoft.com account? If so you could change the password online and then log in (as long as the computer is on the internet to get the new password).
  22. It isn’t random. You just think it is because you are ignorant. They aren’t missing. You are just ignorant. Telling people that it is the most popular hypothesis is probably true. So it isn’t misleading anyone. But what is this “Workd book for 2018”?
  23. I never said that. I don’t even know if it is true. Who knows. But no one says that is how DNA is formed so it’s a stupid question. There are lots of intermediate forms. Arguably there are only intermediate forms. So this is another stupid and ignorant question. Evolution says nothing about the origin of life. Evolution is a fact: it happens. You can’t deny that. And we have a very good theory to explain how it happens. This theory is supported by large amounts of evidence. Unlike your ignorant rants.
  24. That is correct. We don’t know. Although we have some good evidence what could be part of the process. The test of your post is just ignorant nonsense.
