RE: The Electric Universe: 1,800 thunderstorms occurring at any time around the world - Are the Dominoes Falling for Standard Cosmology?
Shermer set up a logical fallacy, which is if Noton was right then Einstein was right.
If Newton and Einstein are wrong
As I said no one is questioning Noton. Just because one can use a part of Einstein theory that has to do with time dilation to computing accurate spacecraft trajectories (and by the way has nothing to do with the topic of the big bang which Shermer seems not to understand) does not link Noton at the hip with Einstein.
It is also assumed that all modern practical applications of physics come from
understanding the big bang theory. As stated Tesla never believed in the big bang theory yet none of our modern applications would be usable if we were only using direct current.
So if you care to continue the conversation let's stay on topic. I would also suggest you use your own words to explain the problems you see with the Electric Universe theory?
One last thing . There is such a thing as a fool. There is also such a thing as being fooled. The smartest people can be fooled it does not make them fools. So in no way do I think you are a fool however I do think you are being fooled.
Don't believe everything you read just because a Phd. said so.
