Many people always show an emotional support for the Big Bang and the formation of our sun and its ongoings.
Well here is your chance to support the Big Bang and what ever other standard models.
Maybe through this information we can understand the SM.
Ok. Fine. I'll bite.
Big Bang Theory, though incomplete (aka, the breakdown of GR and QM at the actual singularity), seems to fit observation and also seems to jibe with GR and QM, both of which have been validated many times over the course of many decades and are the pillars on which modern physics is built.
The current model of star formation and mechanics also appears to fit observation.
If we're to follow the principles of scientific method, harry,
you're the one who has the burden of proof; you're the one who claims to have theories that more accurately describe the two events you brought up.
As for the idea that emotional attachment is the driving force for adherence to prevailing theory,
I suggest that it is emotion that drives you against it. You've consistently failed to provide any evidence, any repeatable experiments or observations that overturn prevailing theories. Yet you "know" BBT is wrong. You “know” it will be struck down within a short time period. You appear to be on a crusade against many standing theories.
I do agree that complacence can set in when prevailing theories are not challenged. However, challenges to standing theories must follow the principles and methodologies of science; results must be verified throughout the scientific community. After all, anyone can just write an article with a new interpretation of existing data. Without experiments and observations repeated and verified by many groups of scientists, conclusions and results have no real meaning. I believe this is the reason Nereid asks you for papers written by more than one single author when siting your sources...
I also recognize that no matter how strictly we adhere to scientific method we are all human beings; no one is completely dispassionate. However, I find it illogical for you to suggest that support of BBT is based on emotion when you have little else but emotion to fuel your conviction that BBT is fact false.
But then, we've had this conversation already. This is, regrettably, what keeps me from posting on this board. That and the fact that pseudoscience tends to rule the threads around here,
dispite the efforts of makc, Nereid, astro_uk, and the gang to maintain the "scientific virility" of the board.
