Comment This has been going on for 100 years (Score 4, Interesting) 42

!5 Years or so ago the Planck experiment ruled out most of the preferred inflationary models -GREAT SUCCESS- -NOTHING TO SEE HERE- Now this experiment rules out the most likely candidate for dark matter -GREAT SUCCES- -NOTHING TO SEE HERE- There is no evidence for the Lamgda Cold Fusion Model other than the inability of scientist to predict the motion of stars. Billions and Billions of dollars and 100 years have shown that this theory is wrong. Time to move on.

This is not true. Karl Schwarzschild, the guy who gave the first exact solution of Einstein's equations put forward the theory that the universe is embedded on an expanding sphere. In this situation, there is no mysterious dark energy pulling the universe apart, it's just a factor of the universe expanding on the surface of a ballon. As the balloon expands, new space is created on the surface and the things there get farther apart. Pretty basic. The issue is a mental block on the part of the dominant professors to the idea that the universe could have more directions (dimensions) than x, y, an z. "well if its outside the universe we can't test it so it doesn't matter". Well, it freaking matters if you haven't made progress in 100 years.

Have you ever been subjected to a universal hate campaign coupled with the weight of being famous? I'm not defending his actions but as someone who has suffered like 1/100th of what he is going through the erratic behavior comes with the territory of constantly having to defend agains shit that people make up, tell other people about, then confront you with. Half the time your like "WHAT?". the other half the time they are spot on. either way the constant bombardment derails the brain in odd ways. He really needs to get off social media and spend time with his children.

Comment LOL Consciousness is just tv for the brain (Score 1) 182

Decisions are NOT made consciously, consciousness is the method by which decisions are conveyed to other centers in the brain. When you are driving and don't remember the drive, but instead let your mind wander, that is when you split into two "consciousness" but there are other thousands of these in your brain and each one believes it is 'you' From ChatGPT: Several notable experiments have demonstrated that the brain initiates decisions before we become consciously aware of them: Benjamin Libet's Experiment (1983): Overview: Participants were asked to perform simple voluntary movements, such as flexing a finger, while noting the exact moment they became aware of the intention to move. Findings: Libet discovered that brain activity, termed the "readiness potential," began approximately 500 milliseconds before participants reported conscious awareness of their decision to move. Wikipedia John-Dylan Haynes' fMRI Study (2008): Overview: Utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), researchers aimed to predict participants' decisions before they became conscious of them. Findings: The study revealed that patterns of brain activity in the frontopolar cortex could predict the outcome of a decision up to 10 seconds before it entered conscious awareness. Nature Soon et al.'s Abstract Decision-Making Study (2013): Overview: Participants chose between performing a word task or an arithmetic task. Findings: Brain activity indicated the decision up to 4 seconds before participants were consciously aware of their choice. The Team W Blog These experiments suggest that unconscious brain processes play a significant role in initiating decisions before they reach our conscious awareness.

everything being made of invisible stuff we cannot find is not a new theory it is contrivance to appease what has become a religion. What you are describing is not what is happening, otherwise my comment would not have been necessary. we don't need a new theory we need to integrate the theories we have. The issue is that general relativity is not unified with quantum mechanics and when it is it will be shown that curvature of space occurs in all the compacted dimensions and that that is the actuality of reality while general relativity (which only is valid without gravity included) is just an early approximation. The gravity calculatuion is off because the equations is off. Not because there is invisible stuff everywhere.

just put two cesium clocks, one on the moon and one on earth the will diverge by 21 milliseconds per year from ChatGPT: Approximate Calculation: The difference in the gravitational potential between the Earth and the Moon can be estimated. The time dilation factor is given by: tMoontEarth1+c2 tEarthtMoon1+c2 where: is the difference in gravitational potential, cc is the speed of light. For Earth: Earth=GMEarthREarth Earth=REarthGMEarth For the Moon: Moon=GMMoonRMoon Moon=RMoonGMMoon Where: GG is the gravitational constant, MEarthMEarth and MMoonMMoon are the masses of the Earth and the Moon, REarthREarth and RMoonRMoon are the radii of the Earth and the Moon. Given these, you can compute the difference in the potential, and hence the time dilation. The gravitational potential difference is dominated by Earth's mass, which is much larger than the Moon's. Result: After computing the relevant factors, the clock on the Moon would run slightly faster than the clock on Earth. The difference is approximately 0.66 parts per billion. Over the course of a year (which is about 3.16×1073.16×107 seconds): t0.66×109×3.16×107 seconds t0.66×109×3.16×107 seconds This results in a divergence of approximately 21 milliseconds over the course of a year, with the clock on the Moon running ahead of the one on Earth. This is a rough estimate; more precise calculations would need to account for various other factors, but this gives a good ballpark figure.

Comment This evidence throws shade on inflation (Score 2) 42

There is no way that this galaxy could have formed in 300 million years due to the richness in elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. Couple this with the fact that we have found large structures in areas of the galaxy that disprove that it is not isotropic, we have a situation where the evidence is showing both that the reason for inflation to exist is going away, at the same time that evidence FOR inflation is lacking in almost all early snapshots of the universe coming from the james webb telescope. Couple that with the fact that general relativity predicts the location of exactly zero stars in the galaxy, unless you create a whole bunch of invisible shit, and we've got no good theories.
