This Message Board is exclusively for science, not personal belief systems. Every single scientific thought or claim that is not self-evident or widely known must be backed up by observation, experiment, argumentation, or citation. A stream of wild, unjustified ideas is of no possible interest anywhere in science, although it might find an audience among science fiction readers. -|Tom|-

Some once thought the world was flat. Bruno was burned at the stake and conprinicus was made to recant. This is a theory so why don't you prove me wrong and measure this so called non-fiction like we still argue that there was never a big bang I have a place here

In science, you must have a good reason for each idea, state it, then defend it against criticisms. Otherwise, your ideas seem strange and alien and don't communicate to others. You risk being judged eccentric if you don't justify and defend your ideas rationally. -|Tom|-

I suggest that you read and study a lot more, find out what it takes to make a theory instead of just an idea, read about the standard models and their basis, see how others develop their theories, then focus on what aspect does not seem properly justified to you.

The burden to justify a hypothesis is always on you. No one else has any obligation to pay any attention to what you say. So you would be well advised to read everything you can find on the subject and be familair with all the ideas that have already been tried before formulating your own ideas and exposing them to criticism. You only get a limited number of opportunities to request the attention of others; and if you squander those opportunities with immature ideas, you will simply be ignored thereafter. -|Tom|-

The theory is simple and is based on basic observations: 1) the electron orbits around a nucleus 2) the earth rotates around the sun 3)temperature is greater on the edges of the universe and 4)our universe is expanding at an accelerated rate possibly meaning there is more mass outside our known universe. It all works like a clock a finite sphere in an infinite world of timekeeping.

Ok christianity a personal belief by many correct? The book of genesis we all know it. What if two parallel universes collided. My definition of a universe is wide and I am saying that yes the steady state theory could possibly allow for an electron to jump out of orbit and dissappear into another place wether that is a new universe or a new dimension
