8 February 2017 Michael: Insulting Lemaitre and lying about Lemaitre's work does not change the physics.Lemaitre abused GR theory to make claims about "space expansion", and even Einstein wasn't pleased.
I did not say that you believed in any of Velikovsky's invalid ideas or even the extremely deluded Thunderbolts ideas.You smear by association. I don't believe in any of Velikovsky's ideas and I post to TB regularly.
Yeah, not smart, but glad it worked out ok.I read that when they first tested the Atomic Bomb in the USA they were not 100% certain that Earth's entire atmosphere would catch fire but they detonated it anyway.
You seem to be ignorant about what the Thunderbolts version of EU is, Michael.Ignorant fantasies don't work in the lab RC
Persisting in trying to make Alfven ignorantThe fact you can't replicate if that much of his work over a whole sphere with "magnetic reconnection" shows that your claims are based upon pure pseudoscience, just as Alfven claimed.
You seem to be ignorant about what the Thunderbolts version of EU is, Michael.
That is EU includes electrical discharges between the Earth and Venus in recent history,
that the Sun is externally powered by electric currents,]
An unsupported assertion about the deluded and lying* Thunderbolts author (Thornhill)
8 February 2017 Michael: Which of the Thunderbolts solar models matches the observed neutrino flux from the Sun?
* Deluded, e.g. he believes in electric discharges between the Earth and Venus digging out the Grand Canyon and basically doing everything including slicing bread!
The most obvious delusion is that comets are rocks blasted in recent history from the Earth by those electric discharges.
Lying
because he lied about the results of the Deep Impact mission to Tempel 1, e.g. he "predicted" a flash before impact and still reports that as a confirmed prediction but there were two flashes on and after impact.
Will you honestly answer questions about Thornhill's beliefs?
Persisting in trying to make Alfven ignorant!
In a 1986 workshop speech, Alfven pointed pout what everyone knew - the frozen in field assumption used in magnetic reconnection needed to be applied carefully.
The Big Bang starts with an existing universe full of matter.
That is what the nonexistent EU/PC cosmology also does.
People who cherry pick the theories they want to include in whatever they think EU/PC is have a universe full of matter.
Bridgman blogged about the similarities in the thought processes between creationist and EU proponents, not your imagined "EU theory is creationism".
I did not say that you believed in any of Velikovsky's invalid ideas or even the extremely deluded Thunderbolts ideas.
You joined a forum on a web site run by obviously deluded people (Talbott and Thornhill).
Anyone in their forum thus has an presumption of ignorance or delusion to dispel.
You have not done that in this forum.
You could have joined a knowledgeable science based forum but instead joined a forum run by deluded cranks which is a problem with your credibility.
Because I have an education in science, a MSc in physics, as you knowWho are you to be accusing anyone of "delusions"?
How bad can Thornhill's blog posts get?
Wal Thornhill's ignorance,
delusions
Because I have an education in science, a MSc in physics, as you know!
Unused but it gave me the ability to think rationally and logically.
That comes in handy in the IT industry where I work. The background to more easily understand the science I have keep up also helps.
ETA: I know of 4 different techniques used to measure the masses of comets that all give them densities less than water.
Thus even you must agree that assertion that comets are rocks is a delusion
so be honest, Michael, and answer:
Anyone with high school science and can understand what they read can see that Thornhill is a liar and has deluded ideas, e.g.
13 February 2017 Michael: Are you parroting another EU delusion about comets?It is deluded to simply *assume* that every comet is exactly the same IMO.
As any eejit can see, Fig. 2 from Balicks paper (only 26 years for Scott to dig it out!) shows negative velocity (towards the viewer) to the left, and positive velocity (away from the viewer) to the right of the figure. I'm not aware that Z-pinches can actually do that! Apparently, neither is Scott. More 'looks like a duck' failure.
But since the protons and electrons are electrically charged, they still interact with light. A stream of photons passing through a plasma can still be scattered by the protons and electrons, and this is where things get interesting. The amount of scattering you get depends upon the wavelength of the light, so if shine a brief pulse of light through a plasma, you get a dispersion of the pulse due to its interaction with the plasma....
There are lots of pulsars through our Milky Way Galaxy. By observing the DM [dispersion measure] of these pulsars we can create a map of the plasma within our galaxy, so we have a really good idea of just how much “dark plasma” there actually is. It turns out there isn’t nearly enough to account for the “missing mass” in our galaxy.
So dark mode plasma is an interesting idea, but it can’t work as a substitute for dark matter
