The guy's a crackpot, and he's not the only one on The Agonist, by the looks of it. There is one dude running around claiming that "the twin paradox" and "quantum coupling" are not "explained" and that, together with "dark matter" they show modern science is flawed. Ugh.

I'm glad you're finding this entertaining. I'm not.

The peak-to-trough part of the business cycle is an outlier. Carnot would have died laughing.

He even tells us how long he's been thinking about this stuff as if that were evidence of anything.

10 points for beginning the description of your theory by saying how long you have been working on it. (10 more for emphasizing that you worked on your own.)
I'm getting increasingly frustrated...
Homogeneity
I have been following this discussion for over thirty years and there very much was an issue of how to explain why we appear at the center, due to the fact that everything, non-local, is redshifted directly away from us.
The standard cosmological model is an exploration of the consequences of assuming the universe is on average homogeneous and isotropic - that is, that it looks exactly the same from every point and in every direction.

This is an ansatz (simplifying assumption) of the theory, but it implies that "we appear at the center" because every point appears exactly the same, and every direction appears exactly the same, so all apparent motion appears to be radially away (or towards) the observer, any observer. By construction.

That after 30 years of "following" "this discussion" you still haven't understood this basic point makes me wonder what you've actually been discussing, because the standard cosmological models can't be it. Migeru July 13, 2009 - 5:33am
