In other words Bob, I'll not argue with you when, and only when, I believe you're being ridiculous just for the sake of it.

SpheresOfBalance wrote:It would seem most people don't understand time. They think it is something when in fact it's merely an illusion, a part of their mythology, like that of the definite existence of god, or the boogyman. They are foolish enough to believe that a mechanical device they build, that creates movement at an arbitrary rate, somehow magically senses an invisible concept born of their minds. In all situations it is the speed of relative movement that is changing; that is being measured, there is no need for a third constituent, such that those that actually believe one can traverse time, in either direction, must believe in a god, as they could only have faith that either exists.

I agree , science likes to try and make it's self sound clever ,
and such claims will only ever be an attempt to impress ,
I don't think anybody is ever going to time travel as such ,
but they will argue the maths is correct,
Sob I have asked many here to check out the site I referred to ,
http://www.bigbangneverhappened.org
and give me their opinion , nobody has yet ,,???
have they accepted that there is proof for my claims and backed off because it is an argument they will lose,,???
seemed everybody liked to challenge my claims while they thought it was,
just my opinion and had no science or facts to back it up ,
now that I'm backing it up , every bodies silent,
I will just assume victory , and the Chaz etc have run out of ideas ,,!!!

First, Godfree, I'd like to apologize for entertaining and thus encouraging Bob's need for a Jr. High School wrestling match within your thread, and commend you on your patience.

Second, I think that no one has entertained the site whose link you've posted for the exact same reasons. Namely that one can find site's on the internet that have all kinds of claims, three headed babies from Mars, etc. So I'm sure you can see, how some may be reluctant to allow another to do their thinking for them.

I for one would list the site extensions (from lowest credibility to highest): .com, .org, .gov, and finally .edu, and of course .gov sites must always be considered individually, as to the brunt of their purpose. I see that your site is only marginally better than the commercial crowd. If you find something on a .edu site, well now you're talking! Here's an excerpt from wikipedia, as to a .org they say:

"It was originally intended for non-profit organizations or organizations of a non-commercial character that did not meet the requirements for other gTLDs." and "Although org was recommended for non-commercial entities, there are no restrictions to registration. There are many instances of org being used by commercial sites. Second-level domains on org were also commonly used by individuals, although name and info are now alternatives. According to the ICANN Dashboard (Domain Name) report, the composition of org is diverse, including cultural institutions; associations; sports/teams;

There are also cases where companies or organizations have created sites under org for crisis management."

Or at least I believe that, that may be a part of the problem, which is really not to say that an idea absolutely rubs off onto another, but some may not want to entertain such possibilities. And let us not forget the importance of someones time.

I may give it some time, I'll let you know.

P.S. you were doing fine until you said: "because it is an argument they will lose" as in that statement you tend to answer your own query as to why they may not check it out!

This theory has been going since the 50's ,
Plenty of science , a few notables , please do not dismiss this as ,
just another crack pot theory,
if we want to talk science , this appears to be the main contender ,
and the author of the site feels the bbt has been replaced by science ,
as the most likely model , but the people change slower ,
the bbt will remain popular long after it has been dismissed by science,
just as people were slow to warm to the idea that the earth revolved around the sun , and challenged the claim for years to come ,,!!!

Then I noticed that it appears that there have been no updates since 2007, and that it's a front for his company Lawrenceville Plasma Physics Inc., which is looking for investors and equipment donations.

Money; unfortunately, the big motivator!

Of course I do find plasma physics interesting.

Of course more study and research are required before making any decisions as to the accuracy of his claims.

What do you mean "unfortunately"??? Money is what leads to things getting done in free-market capitalism. It's nonprofit organizations, doing things for the so-called good of society, that waste money and accomplish very little except getting their executives a nice paycheck.

In case you haven't caught wind of it, I see both capitalism and money the evil tools of dominance (slave creators) that they are. I find that the road to riches was an ancient choice down the wrong path that unfortunately still remains the status quo after all this time. I mean come on, some monkey found a pretty, heavy, shiny gold colored rock and he's still beating people over the head with it to this day. The perception of being special, important, powerful or successful due to your possessing a heavy gold or silver element is just an illusion! It's a F'ing joke. And I consider all that buy into it, as monkey boys (those whose minds are still stuck in the days of cavemen).

This is the: "The Big Bang is Busted" thread so let us not derail the topic at hand.
