  • The Big Bang Theory Awaits Tweaking

    From Pentcho Valev@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 28 02:40:25 2023
    "Only a little more than six months after the Webb team released the first observations from the grand observatory, scientists are already challenged to rewrite their theories about the early universe." https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/jwst-

    No problem. The Big Bang theory, like any other preposterous theory in modern physics, is invincible and immortal:

    Ethan Siegel: "Scientific Theories Never Die, Not Unless Scientists Choose To Let Them. When it comes to science, we like to think that we formulate hypotheses, test them, throw away the ones that fail to match, and continue testing the successful one
    until only the best ideas are left. But the truth is a lot muddier than that. The actual process of science involves tweaking your initial hypothesis over and over, trying to pull it in line with what we already know. [...] By the addition of enough
    extra free parameters, caveats, behaviors, or modifications to your theory, you can literally salvage any idea. As long as you're willing to tweak what you've come up with sufficiently, you can never rule anything out." https://www.forbes.com/sites/

    Sabine Hossenfelder (Bee): "The criticism you raise that there are lots of speculative models that have no known relevance for the description of nature has very little to do with string theory but is a general disease of the research area. Lots of
    theorists produce lots of models that have no chance of ever being tested or ruled out because that's how they earn a living. The smaller the probability of the model being ruled out in their lifetime, the better. It's basic economics. Survival of the '
    fittest' resulting in the natural selection of invincible models that can forever be amended." http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=9375

    Eric Lerner against preposterous and dishonest ideology:

    The Einstein Cult has been producing idiocy and fraud for more than a century so critics have to clean up Augean stables. No matter how much fraud you have exposed, you end up buried under Einsteinian excreta. Yet sometimes even hopeless battles should
    be fought.

    Yes but don’t forget Pentcho, the only reason why we had to put up with BigBang nonsense was because the Einstein cult was firmly in control of theoretical physics by the time Albert had won his Nobel in 1921. And standing on top of that pile of
    theoretical rubbish was his photon model. And it was because Alberts photon was supposed to not lose energy or change frequency over distance that the Big Bang was invented. Invented to save the silly photon. A particle that has NEVER actually been
    detected. Only assumed to exist by relativist clerics.
    So Eric you and others should ditch the photon, go for the wave. After all I can see with my own eyes the wave nature of light in prisms rainbows interference patterns. But no one has ever actually seen a photon. Yet the photon lemmings all think they
    exist!

    Even more trouble for the Einstein Cult:
