Lol - "science based" and "conspiracy theories" in the same sentence.  That rules out a lot of conspiracy theories - flat earth, 9/11, chemtrails, HAARP etc contain as much science as unicorns.

Prove it.  Waiting for your answers on  I've asked you to prove that equations should be balanced by character and your reason why.... So far no proof  I've asked you to comment on intrinsic temperature in a quantum field... So far no proof  You've been asked about the ideal gas equation so far we have an assertion..... And no proof.  I'm also expecting a apology from you for accusing me of academic dishonesty which you did without even looking at my data.  When you do the above we can move forwards. Well? It's obvious that you have no understanding whatsoever of thermodynamics. Neither did Hawking, hence is fatal error. On 27/09/2019 at 02:00, Annie Bynnol said: Am I wrong in thinking that a failure by one observer using one Soviet era set-up 30 years ago establishes that there is no CMB? Am I wrong in thinking that none of these observations can be replicated? Am I wrong in thinking that the CMB has been observed and measured by thousands of times by hundreds of observers on different equipment over fifty years? Am I wrong in thinking that you a have not replicated any of his CMB observations? Am I wrong in saying that there is only one source for Professor Herouni's comments on his observations of CMB?  Given the choice putting my head in the sand to avoid your recommended "...video lectures..." in order to focus what real scientists are doing and saying-send more sand. Yes, your are certainly wrong. Study professor Herouni's papers and explain why you think he is not right. There is no CMB.

I think it is a dreadfully sad act to bring in a long dead engineer to support your denial of CRB. It was not his fault that he worked in the Soviet era 25 years ago, only one source for his statement, that his work is unrepeatable because his data was collected on a device that was quickly abandoned, should not detract from his achievements. Association with repeatedly disproved table top maths sadly will.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

petemcewan   27 #2026 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Mikes 10 Fascinating stuff, Entanglement,hidden variables,supposition,and decoherence -thrown into the mix. So there we have it.Understanding the Universe ? It's a Wavefunction . And there are multiple universes which are completely inaccessible to each other.  The things that happen in each of these universes have absolutely no effect on what happens in our universe.  So is that the end of the story ? Of course not. There are battalions of scientist who think Quantum Theory is incomplete. Mikes 10,we can wait for the next thrilling instalments to emerge.    Edited October 9, 2019 by petemcewan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Astronomers say if it does happen then you are looking at around 4 billon years from now...so you have enough time for a few pints yet Melthe.
