The crisis in cosmology

[Doc Dutch]

The “crisis in cosmology” is pure exaggeration

There are a few clues that the Universe isn't completely adding up. Even so, the standard model of cosmology holds up stronger than ever.

Good.

From the link:

For right now, at least, the “standard model of cosmology” is relatively simple and straightforward. Sometimes known as “ΛCDM” (for Λ, a cosmological constant, plus CDM, or cold dark matter) to some, it contends that our Universe, as we know it:

• began with a hot Big Bang some 13.8 billion years ago,
• that itself was set up and preceded by a period of cosmic inflation,
• where the initial conditions were a scale-invariant spectrum of density fluctuations atop an otherwise uniform background,
• where the Universe was filled with matter, energy, and radiation,
• where it began expanding and cooling very quickly, but then was slowed by gravitation over time,
• which led to the Universe we observe today: full of stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters and cosmic voids,
• and is now made up of ~5% normal matter, 27% dark matter, and 68% dark energy,

I'm not complaining about the content. I'm complaining about the fact he wholesale copied a HUGE chunk of copyrighted material in violation of both US Copyright Law as well as the board rules.

I guess Cypress is just a thief.

Report it to Damo if you have a problem.

[Doc Dutch]

It doesn't help that I just spent a week in a conference with a bunch of intellectual property attorneys. So I'm a bit more sensitized than usual to violations of US law.

First he claims he has a PhD in "geochem" and now he's an expert on both copyright law and patent law.

Interesting to see you arguing with yourself and losing.

Well he is The Most Interesting Man On The Internet

Did I claim to be an expert on these things? Or did I just say I was at a conference with a bunch of attorneys?

I assure you, Helicopter Steve, that I am NOT an expert on copyright law. I can, however, read.

YOU sure don't read so good do you, Helicopter Steve?

[Saint Guinefort]

Report it to Damo if you have a problem.

I am glad you are OK with theft.

What other laws do you like to violate?

You certainly did a great dance around it, Perry.

I'm not, but considering you are semi-literate, I forgive your errors, Perry.

Sometimes I go up to 10MPH over the speed limit in the highway. A few times I've clipped the "Do not remove under penalty of law" tag on a mattress. Here, Perry; call the Texas Rangers: https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/texas-rangers

The Story of Our Universe May Be Starting to Unravel
Sept. 2, 2023

Not long after the James Webb Space Telescope
began beaming back from outer space
its stunning images of planets and nebulae last year,
astronomers, though dazzled, had to admit that something was amiss.

Eight months later,
based in part on what the telescope has revealed,
it’s beginning to look as if
we may need to rethink
key features of the origin and development of the universe.l

"WE" must obviously not include me.
I feel so excluded!

I was satisfied with my theory
that it was an inexplicable event
by the time I was twenty

and haven't given it much thought at all
since then.

[Saint Guinefort]

You certainly did a great dance around it, Perry.

IT's always SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT with you, isn't it?

I NEVER said I was an expert on copyright law. That is YOUR error. Not mine. Not anyone elses. You just thought it would be fun to lie.

I LOVE how hypocritical you are. You reported me on a post because you thought I ran afoul of the board rules and here I'm just pointing out a violation of the board rules and suddenly you are clutching your pearls and clucking.

You hypocritical fuck.

[Cypress]

Could be more than one Big Bang.

It's fun to speculate about the multiverse

No, Perry, but I understand why you want to push that after calling me a Pedo several times.

Technically true. The fact you lorded over others, specifically Cypress, about your "week in conference" in order to push your attack on Cypress is pure Perry. LOL

It doesn't help that I just spent a week in a conference with a bunch of intellectual property attorneys. So I'm a bit more sensitized than usual to violations of US law.

Thanks, that's why I posted two points of view. I'm not a cosmologists and need to remain open to both arguments.

I feel like the evidence for the conventional model of cosmology is powerful (red shift, CMB, nucleosynthesis), but they have had to put a lot of band aids on it over the decades to save the theory.

Cosmology by the standards of science is a pretty young science, so for me the message to take away is to not pop the champagne corks yet and celebrate that we basically have it all figured out.

You hypocritical fuck.

You called me a Pedo twice and never apologized. You then went back and deleted every Pedo Prince Andrew picture you could. Tell me that isn't a sign of guilt.

You're emotional instability is one reason why I doubt you ever graduated college, much less earned a PhD. You have the maturity of a 20something college dropout, but believe you are in your late 30s. Such incongruency usually means a mental issue of some sort. Your compulsion to be seen as superior to others is also indicative of a person who is mentally challenged. You constantly attack Cypress's knowledge and desire to learn. This, too, indicates someone who is jealous of the abilities of others.

Your taunting and erroneous labeling me "Helicopter Steve" indicates your low level of maturity and reasoning capability. I believe you are retarded or brain-damaged in some way based upon these behaviors you display daily. You certainly never act like a 40 something PhD and working professional.
