OK, so you don't know what the scientific method even is, and you don't 
care what it is. So tell me again why you hang around sci.physics?

Who said anything about infallible? You know how you tell what parts of 
it are wrong?
Hint: Observation

And that's your great big problem, right there.  You don't even know what
the scientific method is! And won't look it up.

Why are you even here?

Observations that are ignored
because they violate
the accepted paradigm
out there much?
Or subconsciously misinterpreted?
I told you before about the theatre room
where the schizophrenics and
the "normals" both saw the 1/30 second
broken circle,
and the normals all missed the fact that
it was broken- because we round 
observations out to fit our worldview.

Let's look at galaxies.
What an odd structure: a disc.
All the planets are spheres.
Yet, the galaxy sits within a
spherical halo of stars.
Whence came them?

Now look at a coin on the
table- can a disc become a sphere?
Why, yes it can- by being spun, either
clockwise or counterclockwise

SOME galaxies are discs. Others are elliptical or irregular.

Saturn is an example of a planet with a central oblate spheroid mass 
distribution and a disc mass distribution. A lot like what gives rise to 
the shape of spiral galaxies.

A coin only becomes a sphere when its rotation is faster than your eye 
can resolve. Pretty sure that elliptical galaxies are not discs rotating 
faster than the eye can resolve.

When a coin is spinning on the table,
the head is seen to be up sometimes,
down sometimes, in between the rest.

Is the disc itself:
a. Rotating at a predictable rate according to
     spin rate?
b. Rotating variably?

Well, John, that was a constructive response, wasn't it?

Sigh.
Is the limit to what is 3D
what the Human eye can resolve?
30fps.
So, atoms can't be 2D because
they precess at 10^16 per second?
Because we can't perceive with
our instruments- or eyes- that it
is a precessing disc, then it isn't one?
How QM of you, professor.

I was talking about galaxies, John, not atoms.
I don't get the two confused. You do, switching from one to the other as 
it suits you.
Do you really think that elliptical galaxies are really disc galaxies 
precessing at a rate faster than 30fps?

Your autocorrect is broken, Odd.
Galaxies turn once per 225 million years.
If the disc precesses twice that, is that faster
than 30fps?

Kids should learn math before using
calculators to understand "ballpark "
figures. You want to be in the same
ballpark, Odd, don't you?

However, Odd
a disc the diameter of an atom
(10^_09m for Carbon)
would be precessing 10^16 fps.
How would you prove
it's a disc?

Nope. It is still a disk.

I don't think validated experimental results are ignored.

> Or subconsciously misinterpreted?

So you think observations in science are hopelessly corrupted and 
unreliable? And so you think the scientific method that relies so 
heavily on experiment and observation is doomed because of that?

And so why are you here on a science newsgroup?

Tell me, John, let's suppose there's a new idea that emerges that claims 
to be a scientific one. What do you propose as a test to see if the idea 
is any good or not, whether it actually represents reality or not? 
Observation and experiment are now unavailable to you, because you say 
they're unreliable. So what do you propose to use instead?

What?  Such "ignored" observations are worth a Nobel Prize if they violate
something significant!  Any such observations, if real, won't get ignored
for long!

"We" John?  Are you schizophrenic?  Also, are you familiar with the term
"idiot savant"?  It is true that many mentally disabled have extraordinary
abilities "normal" people rarely have.  But these abilities are usually
able to be done by machines as well.  For example, your theater example
could easily be detected by video and electronics.  Also there was this
guy in Italy who could be taken by helocoptor above (I think it was) Rome,
Italy and when he was brought down he could paint the whole scene from 
memory.  But a camera can do that.  The amazing thing is when a person
can do that.

I'll say it again, Physicists do not believe in theories.

And a flat earth was the current best theory for a long time, until
EVIDENCE showed that it was wrong. Scientists did not suddenly
change the theory of the earth/universe. It took data.

And that is the was science works. A theory lasts only as long
as its predictions are correct and useful. Relativity grew out of
the need to explain the Michelson/Morley results and other evidence
that contradicted the prevailing theory of the time, Aether theory.

So, you have choices:
1. You can believe atoms are half matter/half antimatter.

In which case your posts are more appropriate in talk.religion

2. You can propose the half-and-half theory and make some
predictions that can test whether it works or not.

You haven't done so to this point. You only argue that physics
should be more open to ideas from inexperienced people.

3. You can learn what the current prevailing theories are instead
of mocking them.

Of course you must also gain the knowledge that these theories
WILL change over time as new evidence and understanding is found.

Now if you continue to pick choice 1. I will continue to suggest your
posts are off topic for sci.physics and should be in talk.religion.

Make your choice and have a nice day.

Do you know any physicists that don't believe in the fundamental
theorems of algebra or calculus? Do you think continuing to lie about
them will make them agree with you?

Exactly my point. There is new data coming in every day. Theory, being
logically designed instead of contorted to fit empirical data and
popular notions and consensi, often predicts new experimental data.

In English please. Did you mean "that is the way science works?"

Michelson/Morley, if you've bothered to examine it instead of just
accept and regurgitate one interpretation of it, is consistent with
both Galilean Relativity and Special Relativity.

No they will stay here. Just use a "kill filter" if they bother you.
This obsession of yours with "talk.religion" is getting tiresome.

I'm very experienced. Are you experienced?

I've studied your "current prevailing theories" long ago and recently.
If I agreed with them I would not be posting original content. I would
be regurgitating the "party line" like you and adding no new thought
or information to the discussion (like you).

I made my choice long ago and your demand that I make one of your
"choices" is just more abusive tripe. Please read the below message
carefully.



-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is my last post/reply on this subject so if you want the last
word, read no further. 

Please don't construe this as a sign of surrender or defeat. Let's
just consider it a temporary truce and we can resume the "debate"
later on another thread/topic.
Feel free to add any number of additional posts below. This is just a
notice that I will not read them. I'm sure any wider audience that may
be interested will be highly entertained as you "vanquish" me in my
absence (lol).

Yes.  BECAUSE IT IS _NOT_ A MATTER OF BELIEF!

[I am beginning to understand Tom Roberts here – maybe the all-caps

Thomas 
Nits are small.
Stand back a little.
We're swinging at bigger things.

I'm saying that both galaxies and
atoms are composed of equal amounts
of opposite stuff.

With atoms, it is the up and down electron.
With galaxies it is matter-arm/antimatter-arm.

Odd said, "What about odd-numbered arms?"

We look, and voila!, three-armed galaxies
are rare!
Why? Because the two similar arms
would merge.
Comment on that, TPE, not whether you
believe in virtual fundaments
