Could you give me an example of "bad math" from my article so I could replace it by good math? Just a quote at random: Since half of this angle comes from the curvature of space and the other half from the change in speed of light across the light ray we take φ = Θ / 2 I don't understand:...

It seems to me that you think ... it is perfectly ok to use bad math Switching back from dinos (probably more interesting than BB) back to BB, I thought that all my math is good (even perfect :( ). Could you give me an example of "bad math" from my article so I could replace it by good ma...

When the control of information is determined by one party thats when science goes out of balance. Science wouldn't work if that ever became the case. Fortunately, things don't work that way. Right .. and grants aren't allocated by people who once were in control of burning people at the stake. :D

Jim, I am really getting tired with this If you are getting tired it might influence your clear thinking so we may put it off for a while and returne to it later. I think that my aim: to teach in the high school, and in Physics 1 at universities, Einstein's physics instead of Newton's math only, is...

Newtonian mechanics makes no assumption at all about the "what" or "why" behind the force. It doesn't matter. What matters is that you have a theory, and you have observations. You can apply the theory, and reliably predict the observations (within the non-relativistic regime, o...

The calculations that would tell us about what happened... might be a nightmare. Fortunately we can avoid the horror... by noticing that the rate of the time in space is represented exactly by Newtonian gravitational potential and so the Newtonian model can tell us exactly what happened... Jim, can...

...what exactly do you mean when you write "the time and space are coupled", mathematically? ... identity (d^2)T/dtdr+1/R=0 , where d means "partial", T is proper time at point in deep space, t is coordinate time (of observer), r is radial coordinate (coordinate distance from ob...

I just wanted to show you how much simpler GR is for high school kids than the Newtonian mechanics. First of all, the Newtonian mechanics requires an assumption of a mysterious "force of gravitational attraction", acting in a spooky way (the same way as ghosts do, at a distance, through v...

despite [GR] being simpler to understand the Newton's gravitation not agreed. I just wanted to show you how much simpler GR is for high school kids than the Newtonian mechanics. First of all, the Newtonian mechanics requires an assumption of a mysterious "force of gravitational attraction"...

...since they are coupled... it must produce an illusion of accelerating expansion... I'm sorry I must have missed it last time when you explained the logic behind this statement, could you repeat it here once again? I didn't explain it before since I'm not allowed under the penelty of being banned...

What I don't understand though is why so many astronomers believe that physics is "really" Newtonian as if there were no Einstein and the time were not coupled to space... Exactly how many times it needs to be pointed out to you that Big Bang theory is based on general relativity theory a...

You are going to be amazed how many true scientist do not think along the lines of the BBT. But they are mostly physicists and so they don't believe in creation of energy from nothing as BB people tell them, that it is the case in Einstein's gravitation, while it is not. That's why all physicists s...

Do you mean that it is a hopless task to try to convince folks here that Einstein's gravitation is right and the creationist version of cosmology known as BB wrong?

then the forum would only have to ban spammers. they would still pop up in quotes on occasion, but much less noise any way... And then you would have a society of mutual adoration of creationists believing in good old Newtonian mechanics with no crazy Einsteinian interdependence of time and space, ...

Any professional scientist who operates that way should quite rightly find it difficult to get grants, or get much respect from his peers. I'm not a professional scientist (just a sculptor) but knowing enough physics to recognize the fact that Feynman was right saying "it would be kind of craz...

There seem to be quite a few scientists proposing alternate cosmologies, and they aren't losing their jobs or their funding. Arguing against the BB doesn't get you in trouble, It got me in trouble for discovering only that Einstein's cosmology (Einstein's universe) fits better the observations than...

JimJast, you know perfectly what I mean That's right :D I just hoped that you may have different opinion on Feynman's quote so to be sure I had to ask. Apparently you also can't think about anything else beyond the principle of conservation of energy. And here is another Feynman's quote against BB ...

My wild guess is that harry meant the same thing that Feynman meant while writing from a conference on gravitation a letter to his wife (published in his book, What Do You Care What Other People Think, page 91) a (4) claim based on the stupidity of the author that some obvious and correct fact, acc...

This paper is quite important in understanding dark matter and dark energy in so doing to have a better understanding of the universe and its make up. http://arxiv.org/abs/0902.3610 Axionic dark energy and a composite QCD axion In what way is this paper important? Do you remotely understand it? I'm...

How can 10^9 galaxies found in deep field images 13.2 Gyrs be formed in just 500 million years. harry, You are embarrasing creationists who know that the universe is eternal (because God by definition is eternal and he/she needs a place to stay as much as anybody else) but their theory is allowing ...

A better theory is one that requires less assumptions and still fits the observations. That's right. A "theory" that contradicts observations is not a theory. That's why BB is not called a theory by scientists yet but just a hypothesis with a hope that it becomes a theory one day. So far ...

You didn't answer the question, Jim. How do you explain the apparent acceleration of expansion if there is no expansion? Or, to put it another way, how can expansion seem to speed up when expansion doesn't exist? Sorry bystander, I didn't understand your question the first time. It is like when we ...

How do you explain the apparent acceleration of expansion if there is no expansion? We observe "expansion" only through the redshift which is the feature of time slowing down , as e.g. in gravitational redshift (greavitational time dilation). We know that the gravitational time dilation c...

What is this inconsistency?

In my opinion the main problem with the BB is that accordnig to Einstein's general realtivity (EGR) the universe might be not even expanding. Einstein might have known it, being a kind of an expert in EGR, but he might had been against pouring cold water on BB folks without giving them a chance to w...
