Cosmos - Neil deGrasse Tyson

[Justatruthseeker]

I had a quick look. I will try to give an objective commentary:

- You have 5 papers.
- Of those, 3 are published, 2 are not.
- The published papers are on the Sun. That counts as astronomy, but they are not on cosmology or galaxy formation.
- The papers are published in real journals, but they are not astronomy journals, and they appear to be journals that do not attract a lot of important research (judging by the small impact factors).
- Your three published papers have one citation each, all from you.

The papers appear to be part of a masters thesis or something like that. I will not comment much because I'm looking at the arXiv pre-prints, so it might not be fair. I might look at the published versions tomorrow when I'm back at the university.

Einstein had over 100 papers, only one of which was peer reviewed. His only other peer reviewed paper did not make it through the peer review process, after which he never submitted another paper to the peer review process.

So by your reasoning we should only accept his one and only peer reviewed paper and dismiss the rest?

As for whether NASA should know the proper terminology for ionized gas, you tell me.

Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"When air or gas is ionized, plasma forms with similar conductive properties to that of metals. Plasma is the most abundant form of matter in the Universe, because most stars are in plasma state."


Questions and Answers - What is plasma?

You should know, let alone NASA.

Ionised gas??? EU proponents keep insisting that plasma is not a gas, so which is it. Also stars are ionised gas but stars comprise only a minute amount of the universe as the universe is mainly "empty" space. Only gravity can account for galactic formation. Were space to be comprised of your ionised gas plasma then it would fry all man made satellites, space probes etc. 1 million degrees is more than any man made substance can resist.

Ionised gas "plasma" emits light and the universe would be awash in light if all space was plasma.

Isn't it illuminating the way they keep comparing themselves to Einstein?

Following the death of Newton, we had to wait 178 years for Einstein to publish his first paper. This time we are more fortunate. Einstein has only been dead 59 years, and already we have Justa to set the entire physics community to rights.

Peer review was not a thing in Einstein's time. Don't forget that Special Relativity was published more than a century ago. The culture of peer review built up gradually over the 20th century.

Sometimes I wonder in what century EU proponents live in!

 

[dcarrera]

sun... but the core is only 5700 by Wiens's Law.

That's the temperature of the photosphere, not the core. The core is at 15,000,000 degrees Kelvin.

 

[Lollerskates]

Yes my mistake photosphere is 6000k, 15 million kelvin.

 

[Michael]

Yes my mistake photosphere is 6000k, 15 million kelvin.

By the way, that *huge* temperature variation between the 5700K surface of the photosphere, and the million degree coronal loops that come ripping out of that surface is pretty much where their entire solar theory falls flat on it's face.

They have to resort to what Alfven himself called 'pseudoscience' to attempt to explain it, whereas Alfven used electrical energy and basic circuit theory to explain it, as did Birkeland and his team when they physically *simulated* the process in the lab in their cathode sun experiments.

 

[Michael]

I'd say that we live in the 21st century of cosmology which describes the universe around us by including not *only* gravity, but also MHD theory, circuit theory, QM and standard particle physics theory. On the other hand Lambda-CDM proponets are still stuck in what I would describe as the supernatural, scientifically backwards 'dark ages' of the 20th century.

Grope around in the dark ages of supernatural physics all you like, but in the end, you'll be drawn right back to empirical physics sooner or later. Your placeholder terms for human ignorance will eventually be replaced by empirical solutions to those very same human enigmas.

That was my point.

 

[Michael]

That was my point.

I'm just pointing out that your mistake was a minor slip of the tongue, whereas their mistake is *huge* and they stubbornly refuse to fix it.

Grope around in the dark ages of supernatural physics all you like

Okay Einstein. You are going to be the leading light in physics for the twenty first and twenty second centuries.

 

[Michael]

Okay Einstein. You are going to be the leading light in physics for the twenty first and twenty second centuries.

Me? What do I have to do with leading anything? Birkeland and his team actually explained the solar physics processes that go on in the solar atmosphere in the very beginning of the 20th century. Alfven explained the basic Cosmology principles to them at the end of the 20th century.

I simply refuse to ignore their very important work while the mainstream insists on groping around in the dark ages of physics with goofy placeholder terms that amount to nothing more than human ignorance of over 95 percent of what occurs in spacetime.

EU/PC theory offers *real* physical solutions to *real* processes in plasma. Feel free to grope around with placeholder terms for human ignorance till the day you die if that floats your boat. In the meantime I intend to spend the rest of my life looking for *real* empirical solutions. Sooner or later you'll get tired of being reduced to placeholder terms for human ignorance, and you'll demand real answers too, if only from God.

I bet you he would if DARPA, MIC, NASA, or someone with big pockets threw $40,000,000 in grant money at him. Of course, he would probably be blacklisted, ran out of academia, or even killed since he wont be a puppet scientist "yes man." Too bad, because if science was more transparent, and less of a hegemony, we would have been in the space age a century ago.

Tesla had us in the space age with his discoveries, but the Morgan(s) blacklisted him, and stole his technology because he had the audacity to promote, for example, free energy over air. At the end of the day, it is about money, and science has been hijacked by capitalism - all the way down to what you are taught in Uni.

Well, now that you mention it.......

Well, before they take the world by storm, Michael might want to learn the difference between force and energy, and Justa might want to learn the difference between charge and potential (amongst many many other things).

I absolutely do know the difference between force and energy which is why I know for a fact that your ridiculous Pope Guth can't "borrow energy" from gravity. Apparently your Pope figure doesn't understand the difference between geometric features and energy.

 

[Lollerskates]

Well, before they take the world by storm, Michael might want to learn the difference between force and energy, and Justa might want to learn the difference between charge and potential (amongst many many other things).

There is really no difference.

Maxwell's equations can be condensed into two equations using potentials. I derived it in my thesis. Force can be thought of as an energy density in one dimension - you take the dot product of a displacement and force to get energy. That is why energy is a scalar. Charge is just energy per potential.

It is like saying someone should know the difference between mass and energy.

Just make sure you call me if/when it happens... I will send you my credentials to apply for a spot on the research team.
