  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"By Law" we have no idea what happened at t = 0 because the current laws of physics break down there! Inflation means that we should never know what happened there.

You can't claim that inflation explains things, and that inflation proves we can't explain things.

That is their brand of logic. Anyone that questions their illogical ramblings and demands logic is a crackpot...

Very wrong, SkyWriting.
"By Law" we have no idea what happened at t = 0 because the current laws of physics break down there! Inflation means that we should never know what happened there. There are speculative theories and what I have seen is no beginning and no cause for the universe.

Come on RC, if there was no cause, there would be no universe...... And if there was no beginning, then what are you even discussing T=0 for to umm, begin with?????

Strictly speaking, matter (atoms, protons, etc..) did not exist in the very early universe.
Timeline of the formation of the Universe. Volume occupying "substances" did not appear until the hadron epoch at t ~ 10-6 seconds. The matter era started at t ~ 10 seconds. Atoms appeared at t ~ 3 minutes.
Wait, if there was no beginning, and nothing yet existed to measure, then why are you discussing seconds and minutes after the beginning????

You can change Wikipedia as long as you have good supporting sources.

Yah, its been changed several times after I have used it as a reference to disprove their claims..... And you don't really need good supporting sources [citation needed]......

14 August 2018 SkyWriting: A "...that inflation proves we can't explain things" lie.
My post does not say that.
Inflation explains important observed properties of the universe and passes a couple of testable, falsifiable predictions. No current theory including inflation explains what happens at t - 0 because they break down.
Inflation means that empirical evidence from before about 10-36 seconds has been smeared out and cannot be measured. We will not be able to measure the fluctuations in the universe before the inflationary epoch.

They don't understand their illogic there either...
You cited the crank Crothers PDF. That starts with this lie and ends with it
It has frequently been alleged by theoretical physicists (e. g.[1, 2]) that Newton’s theory of gravitation either predicts or adumbrates the black hole.
...
Since the Michell-Laplace dark body is not a black hole either, there is no theoretical basis for it whatsoever.
No theoretical physicist thinks that a dark star is a black hole: dark stars are analogous to black holes in general relativity.
Dark stars and black holes have valid theoretical derivations. There is also strong empirical evidence for black holes. Soon we should have images of the effects of event horizons (UA astronomers hope to capture the first image of a black hole).

Dark stars are analogous to black holes in general relativity is that we can take a relativistic black hole and look back to see an analogous situation for a classical dark star. People who write gravitation textbooks list the history of gravitation and can include the Newtonian dark star. Being historically earlier than black holes does not mean that they predict dark holes. The prediction of black holes is purely GR.
adumbrates is correct (to foreshadow vaguely).

If the universe always existed then there is no creation of the universe and no cause :doh:.

No, no. The Micheal Leplace Dark body predated any notion of black holes or general relativity. So we do not take a black hole and look back to see an analogous situation. We start with the dark body and look forward to the analogous black hole......

GR is merely an improvement upon Newtonian gravity, which it reduces to in the low gravity near field....

Yes, supporters of Fairie Dust would take an actual history of black hole theory that they can't contest and call it a lie since they can't contest it......

And only someone whose logic was warped would believe "means that empirical evidence from before about 10-36 seconds has been smeared out and cannot be measured. We will not be able to measure the fluctuations in the universe before the inflationary epoch."

So inflation smeared out anything before inflation, but didn't manage to smear out anything while it was happening and continues to happen to this very day????? Usually the cause of smearing smears out everything after the cause and nothing before........ But illogic is considered logical by those paying homage to the epicycles.....

That is what I wrote. Dark stars are earlier in the history of science than black holes. They appear before black holes in the history of gravitation. They were not used to predict (Crothers lie) black holes.

GR is merely an improvement upon Newtonian gravity, which it reduces to in the low gravity near field....
GR is a theory of gravity with the requirement that it reduces to Newtonian gravity in the low gravity and low velocity limits.

Followed by:
14 August 2018 Justatruthseeker: A meaningless and ignorant "supporters of Fairie Dust" rant about inflation.
The extremely rapid exponential expansion of the inflationary epoch ended "between 10−33 and 10−32 seconds after the Big Bang". It was the increase in volume by a factor of at least 10+78 that "smeared out" the universe so that we should not be able to detect anything before the inflationary epoch. We may be able to detect gravitational waves from the inflationary epoch - the BICEP2 error was about this.
The expansion of the universe that "continues to happen to this very day" is the much slower but accelerating post inflation expansion.

Presenting at Thunderbolts "cult" conferences hints at the level of Stephen J. Crothers delusions

In principle you do. But there are no such rules.

According to theory, he is right. I only challenged his request for proof.

The Heisenberg principal says that even the impossible will
happen now and then. The most probable will happen more often.

The heisenberg principle also says cats are not alive or dead until we open the box and actuate the probability. but don't get mad at me when the dead cat stinks up the room a year later......

Oh I agree that inane theory says nothing happened to nothing and then we were able to measure nothing before it became something.......

Until mater exists to measure, there is no concept of time. So why are we discussing T=0 if there was no beginning and T= 1, 2, 3 etc if something to measure did not happen till T=6.

In other words, if expansion wiped out any evidence from before, after it began, then WHEN the universe actually began is not deducible. T=0 has no meaning whatsoever in relation to "before" a time when we could measure...... Expansion could have started any number of magical faster than light trips at any time, since there is no evidence of "WHEN", since it smeared out that evidence........

No it doesn't. That was actually an argument used to illustrate the absurdity of quantum effects on macroscopic scales. Please learn the basics of what you're talking about before pontificating on scientific matters.
