You're evidently a tad naive:
Hubble Finds Universe Expanding Faster Than Expected
Where in that article would I find any hint that "space expansion", isn't "fact"? They've claimed to have nailed down the speed of "space expansion" to within a few percent, and they plan to get the number to less than 1 percent. Where in that article is it mentioned that Edwin Hubble discussed *two* potential causes of photon redshift including "tired light" alternatives to expansion models?
On the contrary, I know how science works and functions in real life better than you think. With respect to astronomy, I also happen to know where all the supernatural and unfalsifiable skeletons are buried.
Say what? I gave you a perfectly good way to falsify the model of the universe I happen to 'hold belief" in. I'm beginning to think that you don't wish to discuss the *issues* so you're focusing on bashing the messenger.
Would you get the same description of the current or past Presidents from various people?
Woah. Two different individuals, being unique individuals, can have very different experiences, and hold very different opinions about the very same person. A quick look at the last US election will demonstrate that fact. Why would you expect the same opinions about God when two people can have completely different opinions about the very same human being? You're expectations are illogical.
Why not? Our current President is external to me, and I assure you that I don't share the same opinions about him as other individuals I've talked to, and who post on Facebook. What does the "external" aspect have to do with anything?
My complaint is that ideas aren't always falsifiable, and like many concepts in science, they lead to "dark matter of the gaps" arguments and such. There are in fact multiple empirical explanations for photon redshift, all of which work in a lab. Why then would I even need to use 'space expansion" to explain such observations?
Falsify my ideas about an electric universe? I already told you. Birkeland made a whole series of "predictions" about his cathode sun. You're welcome to falsify them if you can.
Evidently not. They botched every lab result they ever "predicted". If it made any sense to them they wouldn't require 95 'dark' stuff, which amounts to nothing more than placeholder terms for human ignorance. If it made any sense to them, they wouldn't have to rely upon what Alfven called "pseudoscience" to try to explain high energy plasma events in light plasma in space.
If they did, the lab results would have shown that. Since they came up entirely empty, evidently they don't.
If we'd had a bet on the outcome of the LHC results from 10 years ago, you'd owe me money.

It's not nearly as safe as you imagine. They've struck out in *many* different experiments.
*If* they'd found something you might have a real argument with respect to "qualifications". Since they came up empty, it's like claiming that only "master snipe hunters" can actually see snipes, and I'm not "qualified" to see them. Give me a break.
We spent *many millions* of dollar at LUX. We found nothing. We spent many *billions* of dollars at LHC looking for exotic forms of matter too, and not a hint of anything exotic has been observed, whereas the standard particle physics model passes those same "tests" with flying colors. I don't need any 'qualifications" to see that there "qualifications" have been *useless* in terms of any useful empirical predictions.
Huh? If this is a 'conspiracy', it's the single worst conspiracy in the entire history of physics. The mainstream keeps shooting their own claims in the foot, and falsifying their own mathematical models in the lab:
Thunderbolts Forum • View topic - Lambda-CDM - EU/PC Theory - Confirmation Bias
How are any of those revelations and falsifications "my" fault?
No I don't! *You* claimed that they have some sort of "special"/magical qualifications in spite of their long string of lab failures. I haven't a clue what they might be "qualified" to do other than to flush money down a hole in the ground.
I'd call it the "dark ages" of astronomy actually.
Unqualified at what exactly? "Dark" stuff? What evidence of 'qualifications' on these *hypothetical* topics are required? Do I need snipe hunting qualifications to reject snipes as being "real" too?
I never made any of those claims. Apparently you're confusing me with your own strawmen. We're all free to discuss these topics right here, right now. "Truth" isn't something that I think really applies to "science" and astronomy in general. I
Smear by association. Yawn. Wanna try creationism too?
What do their "credentials" matter when every "test" and "prediction" they made was a complete disaster? That's like insisting that I need snipe hunting credentials to dismiss the concept of snipes for lack of evidence!
But that hasn't stopped you from playing the role of mind reader only to attack the individual rather than to stick to the topic.
Qualified at what? If they were "qualified", their predictions would have been shown to be true, not shown to be false!
Ya, they've been better trained in the field of invisible snipe hunting alright.
More smear by association.
Miss your personal smear campaign? No. I see what you're doing just fine.
You missed my point I'm afraid. I'm quite competent at fixing a computer, and I'm reasonably knowledgeable about astronomy too. In fact I've spent the better part of the last 10 years debating many astronomers in cyberspace. I've been around the virtual block a time or two even. 10 years ago your 'experts' had "high hopes' with respect to LHC and LUX, and the were "sure" they'd find evidence to support their claims. They didn't. Today they don't even want to discuss it and debate it in public. Why? It's obvious that they didn't find anything, that's why.
I'm sure they're quite competent at collecting raw data. I'm also quite sure that they're equally prone to error with respect to the *interpretation* of that raw data, just like every other human being. For all their skills at data collection, their "predictions" failed in the lab.
Do you have a degree in divinity? What makes you personally qualified to discuss the topic of God, or more knowledgeable on the topic of God than all the Priests and the Pope?
You must see how silly it sounds for you to be hiding behind a pure appeal to authority fallacy, when your so called "authorities" struck out repeatedly in the lab?
Quote me please.
Which ones *exactly* are you referring to? I have all the qualifications I need to pass judgement on various topics in physics.
Psst. Did you know that Hannes Alfven *did* win the Nobel Prize, and he's the author of EU/PC cosmology theory?
Nah. Most of them would prefer to wallow around in the dark ages of astronomy because otherwise they'd have to admit that they were wrong, and dark stuff probably never existed in the first place.
Yes I do. You do realize that your entire argument is one big personal attack strategy, right? Doesn't that get old after awhile?
By "relevant" what do you mean? I've formally studied circuit theory, I've studied MHD theory and I've studied physics in general for decades. All the things I "hold belief' in are things that *work in the lab*. Whether they apply in space might be debatable, but I've proposed no new forms of mass or energy to explain events in space.
Folks like Hannes Alfven, who *wrote the book* on EU/PC theory and who wrote the Nobel Prize winning work on MHD theory did have all those necessary qualifications that you're so worried about. He too rejected BB theory in favor of plasma cosmology theory. He called their abuse of his MHD formulas "pseudoscience" with respect to their claims about "magnetic reconnection" too. In short, *they* weren't qualified!
What authority is relevant to an invisible snipe hunt that keeps wasting money and coming up empty?
Let's see. I've got Hannes Alfven, Anthony Peratt, Eric Lerner, Dr. Charles Bruce, Kristian Birkeland, and mathematical models up the wazoo. I'm not even the author of the cosmology theory I prefer. You do realize that, right? You do realize that people with credentials (including a Nobel Prize) wrote it, right?
