  1. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    one of the previous posts featured a talking beam of interstellar light, i wander what kind of voice it had, could not grasp it
  2. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    Thanks. I dont want to be taken seriously, i am just shooting breeze here per the kind invitation of the OP. I read your post but could not grasp the science part of it. What hard-science background do you have? crusade is something religious, yes? interesting choice of words.) yes going against an established religion is silly, i agree. most fun things are.
  3. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    Exactly. GRT is based on c-constant and the idea that a star bends space around it, so the light from another star curves around the former. For that to hold, the photon (just as an angel in any religion) has to have inconsistent magical properties, namely a magic mass: its mass-speed is affected by the space curvature; but not by the gravitational well. All the math and phys research in GRT is the same religious phenomena as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_angelology
  4. Who exactly says that? I would be interested to know the source of this legend.
  5. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    Mike Godwin um....that was a wikipedia quote i will always, always respect you duly
  6. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    hope you like this one better)
  7. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    Interestingly it is one of the proofs why GRT is bogus: because there is no need for it to explain the lensing. Deflection of light by the Sun Henry Cavendish in 1784 (in an unpublished manuscript) and Johann Georg von Soldner in 1801 (published in 1804) had pointed out that Newtonian gravity predicts that starlight will bend around a massive object.[15][16] The GRT plagiarized an idea discovered a 100 years before and used it to position itself as a globalist religion.
  8. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    but, but... thats how GRT is proved: by observing how the gravity of the sun changes the direction of the starlight.
  9. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    i will. i like clean. i am also a gambler. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated roughly 1.7 million hospital-associated infections, from all types of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi combined, cause or contribute to 99,000 deaths each year.[2] In Europe, where hospital surveys have been conducted, the category of gram-negative infections are estimated to account for two-thirds of the 25,000 deaths each year.
  10. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    er, no) Your link contains 2 posts with answers Does gravity slow the speed that light travels? 1. So I suppose the only accurate answer to your question is: it depends. 2. Not really. These are non-answers. Now i am asking a very simple, yes or no question: Does the light from a star travel at c speed in the interstellar vacuum as measured by an observer on earth? Yes it does. No it does not.

    Ah, the ultimate disputation technique: "A random link+go-educate-yourself". Well played guys, well played.
  12. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    thats what Apech says) (so the gravity is weaker at the surface of a larger star). Thats his logic right there)
  13. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    Well you see Stosh, the psedoscience is schizophrenic. One one hand they hold GRT an infallible truth; on the other hand they do have to show something for their grants. And that something is meaningless calculations with so called free variables general relativity - Gravitational Lensing equivalent refractive ...Nov 6, 2017 - Reading about gravitational lensing here and here, its seems that it can be ... Due to symmetries, the metric tensor has 10 free variables which are dummy values adjusted whenever the observation does not match the GRT predictions. Which happens always and which is fraud. Your question they answer by just plugging in any value that reconciles the calcs with the observation.
  14. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    so you do claim that in vacuum the speed of light is less than c? so you are saying that a larger star has a smaller gravitational pull than a smaller star?
  15. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    Different is is a red herring. ) Starlight travels in vacuum, where its speed is a constant according to GRT. Not slower, not speedier - constant. Larger the radius=larger the mass=maximization of the effect
  16. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    No. You see You proposition would mean, that either the initial velocity has to be larger than c in order to be slowed down by star's gravity and somehow become exactly equal c, which is impossible, since under GRT light's speed never can be larger than c. OR, the initial velocity equals c, and after the light is slowed down by the star's gravity, the light travels at less than c, which is again impossible since c is constant.

    right, right Editor In Chief Of World’s Best Known Medical Journal: Half Of All The Literature Is False "Science has taken a turn towards Darkness" https://www.globalresearch.ca/editor-in-chief-of-worlds-best-known-medical-journal-half-of-all-the-literature-is-false/5451305 Judson thinks that fraud is common because it is the inevitable product of the current culture of science. Fraud, he says, is intrinsic in institutional cultures that are “characterized by secrecy, privilege, lack of accountability”. . .... this year, under a decade later, the NIH budget is nearly $28 billion. To protect this investment, .....“the scientific communities believe that public funding is their right, but so is freedom from public control..... Fraud has always been present in science, long before the NIH was handing out grants. Gregor Mendel, the founder of genetics, had results that are just too good to be true. Louis Pasteur's notebooks, long kept secret, reveal that he misled the world and his fellow scientists about the research behind two of his most famous experiments: the vaccination of sheep against anthrax, and that of a boy against rabies. And it is common knowledge that Sigmund Freud fabricated many of the case studies on which he built his psychoanalytic theories and career. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(04)17334-0/fulltext?code=lancet-site
  18. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    Light from a star bends around another star. Due to the latter star's gravitational pull. A question: how does the light leave its original star at all? and while we ponder...

  20. yeah, and considering that its a rotation you will be back where u started.
  21. i donno. if you sit say 4 hrs per day, then how many years you need to get somewhere?
  22. General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?

    Haha no it does not. If it had a lot, you would name at least one.) But you did not.
