(emphasis added) Indeed you did. But, as far as I know, your suggestion is an ATM one, certainly one that is not - per the guidelines -...

Haven't these questions of yours been answered, many times, in many other (earlier) threads? Is there something specific, within the scope of this...

OK, sorry. If that's so, perhaps a mod might move this thread to a different section? Your questions would seem to have to do with something...

I'm sure KenG will answer with one of his usual excellent posts. In the meantime, I'll simply say that I think you're missed the main point: the two...

(emphasis added) Thank you. I think you just explained your apparent misunderstanding very well. If you discover, through observation and...

I will only comment on what you, TooMany, are arguing. At the start of this post I quoted, in full, an earlier post by you, in this very thread. ...

In a rather nice way, this circles back to Newton, and allows you to escape any and all such "circular arguments". Newton united Heaven and Earth;...

Thanks for your posts, Jim, NEOWatcher, and Swift. Jim, I defined what I meant by "troll" in the specific context of the explicitly science-based...

I considered quoting the OP, and this question, but you seemed - to me - to have refined it, in post #3 ("Any ideas about how one might measure G on...

(emphasis added) It took me a while for what was bugging me about this to become sufficiently clear that I could write it up. You do realize,...

Well, the first one (The Big Bang theory says the universe began in a singularity, at t=0) comes in many forms, but they all share the misconception...

The Moon does not rotate on its axis. The stars are not distant suns. A meteor (shooting star) really is a star which has fallen from the sky....

I've been thinking of this, and had already wondered whether binary pulsars could provide independent constraints on the variability of G. I think...

Like COSMOS. I don't remember reading anything in any papers which reported the sort of thing trinitree88 is claiming. And isn't the (expected)...

Hmm ... are we reading the same material? The RA distribution of <A> of the galaxies with the greatest 'certainty' (i.e. those with >95% of votes...

TooMany, In the very first part of this post of yours, you say stuff that I'm 99.9% sure you know is quite untrue. Yet you write it anyway! ...

Not so fast! Wednesday, 13th July, 2011: What do you think of this? A Galaxy Zoo forum thread, in the Object of the Day section, by me. Anyone...

Ya know, it's difficult to hold a meaningful conversation when you summarize what I wrote like this. Did I really come across like that to you?...

Thanks for your response, ggchuck. A question of clarification, if I may: are you referring to climate science in particular? or is your...

It's a pity, I think, that you did not quote the statement of yours which Strange was responding to. Here it is: "By contrast, present day cosmology...

From reading this thread, I see that you and Shaula have expressed this sort of disagreement many times. For what it's worth, my view is that...

Thank you for your response. Most certain, and assured, it is. The sciences of astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology are entirely driven by...

Fair enough, thanks for the clarification. Does that apply to each and every other item mentioned in your long and disturbing list too?

I found this particularly interesting, because my first thought was "if you replace 'cosmology/astronomy/what happened at ...' with equivalent words...

Thanks for this. Perhaps you could also expand a bit on some of the other items on both your stated long and disturbing list, and on the ones you...

Thanks! In an earlier post you said that you once taught physics, and that you once 'practiced physics' (which I take to mean you did research in...
