what the fuck

[Mindf!3ldzX]

Sports and beer, a good mix but rare. I like science and philosophy and can get too "enthusiastic" about it under those conditions.

Yeah, I did go on the offensive a little. I was actually trying to not to.

But I could have done a better job.

I thought that was going to be your new trend for 2016,considering that Handmade Quake thing. lol

I did not know this engine , is a really fascinating case !!
If it really works, and this does not respect the theoretical laws, scientists are going to rethink many paradigms .

I'll let MadGypsy's summary of the Handmade Quake video speak for itself there. Sums up that project very well. I don't have anything to do with the fact that project is essentially a fraud.

[Baker]

I still think that religion is outdated and pointless.

The average guy doesn't know the finer points of philosophy. And he's never going to.

Humans are lazy and don't want to think for themselves, and prefer to jump on bandwagons rather then exercise independent thought.

I don't like science as a religion, because the masses don't know what science is and then trying to turn things like Big Bang Theory and evolution into their God. The masses don't understand things like science because science is opposite of human nature, so you just end up with religions like Cults of Global Warming, Humanists, and such --- and want to dumb down science to their level saying "Proof? What's that! Consensus!!" or thinking science "proves things" -- which science doesn't do, but rather explains things through a preponderance of evidence. Or thinking science is beyond question (no that's religion!).

The science behind evolution is awesome, but only explains gradual changes over time.

Big Bang Theory is like swiss cheese and some scientists predict it as one of the most likely current assumptions to be proved wrong in the 50 years. They keep making more precise telescopes and look at galaxies very far away and should find young galaxies and instead find old ones.

It might be the modern day version of the Geocentric model.

I think the civilization did born because primitive man did smoke weed

[MadGypsy]

O.O This thread has been everywhere except Dante's inferno and Meditation.

[Mindf!3ldzX]

It's been to Baker's inferno I wonder if science felt the heat all the way from here.

[MadGypsy]

I have to admit that my time here is much more enjoyable NOT having an opinion on the things Baker says. I agree with a number of things he said here, though. Of course I disagree with some of it, as well. I don't feel compelled to be specific either way.

It's been entertaining.

read: The Big Bang Model

Videos and models of the Big Bang are great.

But when telescopes in Brazil are taking pictures of galaxies half a billion years older than the Big Bang, what do you say?

When telescopes are taking pictures of very old galaxies that are 13.4 billion light years away (which means the light took that long to get here) --- and the galaxies look fully formed like the Milky Way which is supposed to take billions of years, what do you say?

When they discover super-structures that would take 10s of billions of years to form -- and there hasn't been that much time according to the Big Bang Theory, what do you say?

When the claim of discovering graviton waves has to be retracted and possibly the data from the mistaken observation is proof against graviton waves, what do you say?

I'm not saying the Big Bang is wrong.

But in the last 3-4 years most of the astronomy news has been raising some interesting questions.

And then you have this:

good read!

There is quite a bit more ...

Accelerating universe? Not so fast | EurekAlert! Science News
Quasar outburst revises understanding of universe, quasars | Newsroom | Washington University in St. Louis

The key theme is we don't know as much as we think we know. Some of these curveballs are the opposite of what was expected and many of the other curveballs mean our assumptions about making measurements might be false ...

Which is bad because if our methods of measuring age and distance ourside our own galaxy is in error, it means a lot of measurements need re-evaluated.

Perhaps more approachable is the Great Attractor

An unknown force is pulling the Milky Way and all else towards it at 14 million mph - Telegraph

According to the ideas behind the Big Bang, there shouldn't be a Big Attractor, everything is supposed to be rather uniform in distribution.

The Great Attractor is not a new discovery, it has been known for a very long time, but we analyze things far better than ever before.

Stuff like this gives my brain a huge cerebral erection. Stimulating my mind begs that I should reciprocate.

I was catching up on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and I found this pretty damn interesting

I'm glad you enjoyed those links.

Two or 3 of them have the potential to wreck most of what we know about astronomy.

The one about vacuum interacting with light under rare circumstances has much potential to turn what we think we know on its head.

I welcome any and all evolution of understanding.
