I would think trained astronomers could tell the different between abnormally shaped galaxies vs galaxies distorted from gravitational lensing.
I would think so too, but obviously they can’t.
Because of the stars in the foreground galaxy.
What stars? Do you see any stars?



All you have is a Consensus interpretation.
So how is "electric gravity" affecting atoms when most atoms have a neutral charge?
Electricity affects everything, including you.
If electromagnetism is so much stronger than gravity, how can we fly in planes?
If planes are so much heavier than air, how can planes fly on air?
Would you mind providing some links to those research papers? Thanks!
Are you referring to peer-reviewed papers on cosmology? Because if you are, Consensus Cosmology can take a hike.
So how about explaining the blackbody spectrum observed by the COBE satellite in the cosmic microwave background radiation?
Why do you ask for an explanation when what you have is retrofitted?
How about answering Cabal's question
How about Cabal providing the evidence?
I don't see any demonstration of "space warping" in these articles.

Your confirmation bias has been duly noted.

Why do you ask for an explanation when what you have is retrofitted?

Lie. The level of CMBR was predicted and then confirmed. No fitting was involved.

How about Cabal providing the evidence?

Not that your opponents should have to back up their claims before you deign to answer a rebuttal, but...

The gravitational lensing pic. You've seen it enough times.

Now, please stop dodging the question. It's painfully obvious you have absolutely nothing to go on here, but at least TRY and put up some resistance.

Now how is it that these clusters of uncorrelated galaxies all distort in a way that looks exactly like that described by a gravitational lensing effect? "Galaxies sometimes distort" is in no way a sufficient explanation for these observations.

EU barely predicts anything.
EU is based on physics.

Big Bang is based on faith.

A faith based prediction can claim to predict many things, but when it come to science, a physics based prediction is always the most reliable.

You should know that.
Did you miss the gravitational lensing photo? I think it's been posted enough times.
You mean this one?



I don't see anything here distorted in the exact same way. Do I have to use mathemagic to see it?

What if you set aside 1000 years to work on it?

Could your R&D department make it work?

Galaxies tend to contain stars.

All you have is a Consensus interpretation.
Even without the current interpetation, the picture above appears as though someone took it with a "fish eye" lense. "Arcs" do not make sense considering the "circled" affects of the picture.

Electricity affects everything, including you.
Unless the material cannot conduct electricity. Why don't we see non-conductive materials flying off of the planet?

If planes are so much heavier than air, how can planes fly on air?
Gravity is a weak force. The plane is flying against gravity. If the electromagnetic force is 1000 times stronger than gravity then planes would need 1000 times more thrust to lift off.

Are you referring to peer-reviewed papers on cosmology? Because if you are, Consensus Cosmology can take a hike.
I'm sure there are peer reviewed papers on EU cosmology, until the blackbody spectrum was discovered it was quite competitive with the current cosmology. You want us to accept it, show us the research.

Why do you ask for an explanation when what you have is retrofitted?

How is a phenomena discovered recently "retrofitted" into a formula hypothesized in the early 1900's?

How about Cabal providing the evidence?
Here it is again:


"Care to explain why a whole bunch of different galaxies separated by really quite large gaps all just happen to distort in exactly the same way so as to form not just a distinctive overall ring pattern but also how these ring patterns are explained both qualitatively and quantitatively by GR?"

I don't see any demonstration of "space warping" in these articles.


MIT Scientists Find Evidence Of Long-Sought Space Warping - The Tech

"Stella and his colleagues calculated that if certain neutron stars were dragging space around them, their fluctuating X-ray signal should contain a second, slower, signal superimposed on the first. He saw such a motion in three of 15 stars he analyzed."

Gravity Probe B: Testing Einstein's Universe

"GP-B was designed to measure two key predictions of Einstein's general theory of relativity by monitoring the orientations of ultra-sensitive gyroscopes relative to a distant guide star."

Closing in on Einstein: Frame-Dragging Clearly Visible


"The accuracy of the GP-B experimental results has improved seventeen-fold since our preliminary results announcement at the American Physical Society annual meeting in April 2007. At that time, only the larger, geodetic effect was clearly visible in the data. Over the past two and one half years, we have made extraordinary progress in understanding, modeling and removing three Newtonian sources of error—all due to patch potentials on the gyroscope rotor and housing surfaces. The latest results, based upon treatment of 1) damped polhode motion, 2) misalignment torques and 3) roll-polhode resonance torques, now clearly show both frame-dragging and geodetic precession in all four gyroscopes."


Gravity Probe B Scientific Papers <This provides all of their scientific findings.

Are you in a rush for eugenics to work, AV? You seem a little anxious.
You have no clue what point I'm making, do you?

Let me give you a piece of good advice, my friend.

When I ask a good question like I did, and the old-timers here don't answer me --- take my word for it --- it's because they know [me] better.

That 'eugenics, research, R&D, and 1000 years' should have tipped you off as to what I'm getting at.

The #1 problem with eugenics- how do we decide what traits are "good" and what traits are "bad". Different cultures value traits differently. Samoans tend to value "big-boned" individuals, some people value athleticism while others value intellect.While eugenics may work in principle, it is actually a bad idea.

Human "selective breeding" has gone on for thousands of years. Obviously I am attracted to my wife and she is attracted to me. We are all attracted to certain characteristics and look for mates that have those characteristics. Most likely our children will be attracted to those traits as well. Attractiveness is partially dictated by biology and partially dictated by culture (which is probably biologically derived as well).

Oh I know what point you're trying to make. I simply wanted to harass an answer out of you before anyone took the bait for what you think is a very devious trap.

Ahem ... um ... through research?

Ah, but what traits may be "good" now may become "bad" in the future.

In regards to your last post, I thought I was one of the ones you were talking about.

STEAM POWERED UNIVERSE WINS !

Electric Universe proponents may send their papers to the FLAT EARTH SOCIETY for peer review!

Now for the big question. Since the Universe is run by steam (confirmed here at CF) is it possible to find a planet wholly made up of Cappuccino coffee?

Starbucks' top espressomologists are way ahead of you.

Coffee Planet - Homepage

Note the photograph of the coffee planet in the top right. While it may superficially appear similar to our own planet, its crust is made entirely of arabica coffee beans, and it has oceans of milky froth quite unsuitable for human life, unless you happen to be a programmer or insurance salesman.

Galaxies tend to contain stars.


But since we can&#8217;t see stars in this image, any conclusion that they are affecting the background light is just a boldfaced assumption, and makes the interpreter seem desperate for an answer.

And, is the light being bent &#8220;around&#8221; the galaxy, or &#8220;through&#8221; the galaxy?

If the light is being bent &#8220;around&#8221; the galaxy, then why would the stars &#8220;within&#8221; the galaxy affect it?

Even without the current interpetation, the picture above appears as though someone took it with a "fish eye" lense. "Arcs" do not make sense considering the "circled" affects of the picture.
They are plenty of plasma arcs in the universe. They are all over the place. The simpler explanation of the universe ought to be based on what we already know, not fictitious lenses &#8211; Occam&#8217;s Razor.

Maybe it is the &#8220;fish eye&#8221; lensing that you are mistaking for gravitational lensing. Fail.
Irrelevant.

I never said gravity is electricity.

I said the underlying physic is electrical, or likely to be electrical, since it is only a theory.

Gravity will still act as gravity does even though the underlying physics is likely to be electrical.
I'm sure there are peer reviewed papers on EU cosmology, until the blackbody spectrum was discovered it was quite competitive with the current cosmology.
There is no competition between Big Bang metaphysics and EU physics. The two don&#8217;t compare. One is faith based. The other is physics based. If you want to compare Big Bang theology with something, try religion.
You want us to accept it, show us the research.
I&#8217;ve learnt way back not to &#8220;want&#8221; anyone to accept anything in this forum. Not my intent. We either accept or we don&#8217;t. That&#8217;s our prerogative.
You don&#8217;t get it, do you?

Big Bang theology is based on a flawed interpretation of red-shift, which effectively kills the Big Bang hypothesis.

The &#8220;life blood&#8221; of Big Bang theology today is non-existent dark matter, dark energy, and all the other dark invisible unverified stuff you guys like to manufacture and sprinkle with mathemagic dust, which effective makes Big Bang a walking zombie.

Zombies don&#8217;t have an explanation for anything, even if you believe they do, because they are all DEAD.

You need to come up with a new scientific theory if you expect to explain reality, a scientific theory that relies on the Scientific Method.

You do remember what the Scientific Method is, right?
I am not seeing what you are seeing. But that&#8217;s not surprising because where you see two I see five, as shown below:



Only in Big Bang theology with all of its mathemagics and mathematricks does one plus one equal five (1+1=5).

Maybe you need a new pair of lenses of your own.
I asked for an empirical demonstration of your interpretation of &#8220;space warping&#8221;, and all you do is offer more interpretation?

I am forced to ask why you guys ask Creationists for empirical evidence of their biblical interpretations when you guys do the exact opposite to what you ask them for in order to verify your &#8220;scientific&#8221; interpretations.

I think I see a double standard here. Fail.
Disqualified for cheating. Fail.
