Dynamic Gravity theory to explain dark matter, cosmic ray energy, etc.
Bufofrog replied to kba's topic in Speculations
Of course not, the point is how can you know if you are on the right track if you don't test the theory! If your theory accurately predicts the orbital period of the moon then you may be on to something, if it doesn't then you know your theory needs work. I'm sure you meant m/s^2 due to a typo. If the mass in the universe is more or less evenly distributed as observation shows, there should be no force or acceleration in any particular direction on a universal scale. Observation indicates that indeed there is no acceleration or even a velocity of the milky way in any direction at the universal level. -
Research into plasma-based flight buoyancy attempt
Bufofrog replied to Jon A's topic in Speculations
I don't think plasma cosmology and the pilot wave theory are considered Newtonian, however I could be wrong on that. -

An OP that basically says you are going to ignore anyone that disagrees with your idea is not a good start for a discussion. -
What are the benefits of understanding our free will?
Bufofrog replied to dimreepr's topic in General Philosophy
I think they are. I see I got a down vote. I guess someone didn't like my WAG at an unanswerable question. Do we have freewill? I don't know, nor do I care and there is no real answer the question anyway. We can only go in circles arguing. Very boring for me. I'm out but you guys have fun. -
What are the benefits of understanding our free will?
Bufofrog replied to dimreepr's topic in General Philosophy
The only argument is there is no real evidence on whether we have free will or is the future already determined. Based on the lack of any evidence to guide us I will have to go with gut instincts. It feels like I have free will so that's what I'm going with. -

Bufofrog replied to dimreepr's topic in General Philosophy
I was going to disagree but no matter how hard I try I can't force my fingers to type a negative response. So I guess we don't have free will. -
Pi squared is an acceleration? Are you sure it isn't a force or a velocity?

Bufofrog replied to kba's topic in Speculations
The easiest way to understand your theory, I think, is to show us a simple calculation. Could you use your theory to calculate the orbital period of the moon? Thanks. -
How does that apply to the discussion?
-
This is getting really out of the realm of science and math into uh, uh... I don't even know. If you call some random equation a force it does not magically become a force. If I say F = m * s, it doesn't mean that I have discovered a new force it just means I'm wrong. Ok, that equation is trivially false.

WHAT?!? That ain't close to how science works. You can't say you have a 'new' force that has the different units that every other force. If the 'thing' doesn't have the units of force - it ain't a force Your inability to understand equations does not mean we can throw out mathematical and logical rules in science and just make stuff up. I really think you should change the "we" to "I".

You mean evolution used to happen but it doesn't anymore? Really? Bigger than what?

Bufofrog replied to dimreepr's topic in General Philosophy
I have given it thought and we obviously have free will. You have managed to confuse your self by silly philosophical arguments. Of course I know what your response will be because you unfortunately do not have free will and will have no choice except to give a silly response. -
