Matt Paul Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Does anyone know any scientists that are an adept at astrophysics style mathematical equations? I have a theory in my head that I need to prove or disprove but I lack the mathematical skills to express it. I need to collaborate with a math genius to get this equation out. Any credit for the end result will be split 80/20 since I have the theory and just need the math skills from anyone else (subject to change depending on contributions by both parties). Please let me know if anyone knows someone of this caliber, I would like to get started on this immediately!

timo Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Imho the biggest failure of such endeavors is the implicit assumption that people having undergone scientific training prefer putting energy into the next-best stranger's ideas over simply working on their own ones. Or in other words: Scientists do not lack ideas. What we are usually short of are time, manpower and funding to work on all the ideas we have.

ajb Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Does anyone know any scientists that are an adept at astrophysics style mathematical equations? There are plenty of people, try your nearest university physics department. I don't think I am in contact with any astrophysicists at the moment. I have a theory in my head that I need to prove or disprove but I lack the mathematical skills to express it. This is probably an oxymoron, but anyway. I need to collaborate with a math genius to get this equation out. Any credit for the end result will be split 80/20 since I have the theory and just need the math skills from anyone else (subject to change depending on contributions by both parties). In my experience, it does not really work like that. In theoretical and mathematical subjects credit is usually equally shared. Please let me know if anyone knows someone of this caliber, I would like to get started on this immediately! (possibility of a grand unified theory if successful) There are lots of people out there, but they will be busy working on existing ideas. You will find it hard to collaborate with anyone, unless you have a certain level of competency. Or in other words: Scientists do not lack ideas. What we are usually short of are time, manpower and funding to work on all the ideas we have. Very true, especially during heavy teaching times.

(possibility of a grand unified theory if successful) honestly i could care less about credit if it takes 5 or 1000 of us the credit can be equal, I'm not worried about that. But I was actually looking for names of people I may be able to contact, I do not want to go to any university (this is the grand unified theory I am talking about here) I don't care about qualifications, schooling or any of that, as i, quite honestly, have little in that department being self-taught. I just need someone adept at the math side. I have the plain english phrasing of it finally. names please anyone. That would help immensely! Thanks. I have some problems and I do not want this theory to die with me. If no one thinks it worth taking time away from existing ideas then humanity as a whole will pay the price. Even if proven wrong it would still be a fresh outlook and add much to current data on the subject. names please I do not need opinions on why people are busy. Also to respond to timo, on 24 November 2012 - 01:47 AM, said:Or in other words: Scientists do not lack ideas.

No one said anything of the kind or asked any question to provoke an answer of 'captain obvious' proportions. I truly believe if this theory dies with me it will be a long time before it comes into someone else's brain. I know that sounds arrogant and I'm not here to argue. Someone get me a name of a genius mathematition. TRUST ME THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN YOUR CURRENT RESEARCH! -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansont Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Man, if you know that without even one look at my research, I envy your powers of perception. Bayesian statistics is my guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfmotat Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'm probably well-versed enough to be able to help you, so PM me if you wish. I'll warn you though: I'd be willing to bet a substantial amount that your "theory" is too qualitative/vague to be formulated mathematically. It probably isn't even new. People come to different science boards and make claims similar to yours all the time, and I have never once been impressed by any of them.

We see at least one GUT or ToE everyday...forgive them their scepticism...it's justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
