  1. Yes, it can provide an indication of which generation of stars it belongs to. It does not mean that as a given star ages, it loses metallicity. In fact, since all heavier elements are created inside stars, as a star ages, it metal content increases. All elements heavier than iron are produced in supernova explosions and scattered throughout the universe. Due to a loss of angular momentum. You've taken a line from wikipedia (not the best source, just the easiest) and jumped to an unfounded conclusion. Mars was created in pretty much the same orbit it's in now. The spacing of the planets and their orbits follow Kepler's law. You don't seem to have a good grasp of how metals are produced or distributed throughout the galaxy, and have therefore taken a brief line from wiki and jumped to another unfounded conclusion.
  2. No, it means that the older generation of stars were formed before many supernova created the heavier metals and blew them into space. No, it means that there have been a greater number of supernova where there is a greater concentration of stars, and thus more heavy elements are created. No. Your founding premises are faulty. Stars orbit the galactic center.
  3. Ok. Nothing you wrote made any sense in the slightest.
  4. No. Without humans, mesquitos would face grave difficulty reproducing. Not to mention head lice.
  5. Since there are neither swinging pendulums or bouncing beams of light on GPS satellites, how do you account for the fact that continuous adjustment is necessary to the clocks to keep them in sync, and that the adjustment needed is exactly that predicted by both SR and GR? How do you account for the extended lifetime of muons traveling at relativistic speeds? Or the differences between identical atomic clocks at different velocities and altitudes? The change in the rate time passes does not depend at all on the construction of the clock. There is a wealth of experimental confirmation that both relativistic and gravitational time variablilty is the way the universe really works.
  6. It should also be noted that gravitational time dilation is a factor which must be constantly compensated for by GPS satellites, by a factor much larger than time dilation due to differences in relative velocities. It's something real, and if you use a gps device, it effects you every time you use it.
  7. This would only work for electrically charged particles.
  8. Oh yes. Star formation goes on, and certainly planet formation follows.
  9. Well, at 100,000 miles per hour, it will take 28767 years to reach the closest star. I can't wait that long.
  10. Nothing. Certainly not with our current technology.
  11. There are none. Exotic matter is entirely theoretical.
  12. No. Any quantity divided by 0 is undefined. That includes dividing 0 by 0.
  13. I don't know where you're getting the idea that Einstein said any of that. The cyclical Bang theory is pretty much disgarded. The universe's expansion is accelerating, and there is no reason why it should stop. All the matter in the universe was created at the end of inflation at about 10-35 seconds after the bang began, when the inflaton field went to it's false vacuum state and the energy in the field was converted to matter. The Big Bang is nothing like a black hole, and the ideas that the universe is contained in a black hole contradicts observation.
  14. If you don't accept things, in spite of overwhelming evidence, you're a crank.
  15. There's nothing here but word salad with a lite vinigrate.
  16. So... you can't... make any predictions... fro...m your word... salad.
  17. 300 pages of word salad! Astounding.
  18. You haven't shown anything fits. So far all we've gotten is word salad, hand-waving, and a lot of ellipses...
  19. You're not being asked to find new tests. You're being asked what actual predictions of physical phenomena in the universe does your Wild Ass Guess make. Because until it actually makes testable, falsifiable prediction, it's not a theory, it's not even an hypothesis. It's a WAG.
  20. Will flying cars happen? I hope not. Most people have a hard enough time dealing with two dimensions in a car. I shudder to think what would happen if they had to deal with a third. It would truly be a rain of steel.
  21. We can certainly see your post. I don't see a theory there.
  22. That's the Bohr model of the atom, which is obsolete. Current thinking has the electron existing as indeterminate cloud, it's 'position' given by probability and the electron's energy.
  23. The new type IIa supernova in Messier 95 has been tentitively linked with an individual star. New supernova
