If evidence would show that the earth is not round but a triangle, would you then believe it ?
Either it would be a joke or just one more load of brainwash. - There are no other options.

Yes there are other options (than just joke or brainwash), the data was wrong, the model (spherical or triangular) was wrong. Evidently simply being wrong still doesn't enter into your thinking.
And once again not a counter argument against you simply being wrong. |

The Theory of Relativity will begin to fall apart in 2016/2017 - Part II
Now that I think about it, your theories would work a lot better in a Flat Earth paradigm. Specifically we’d need to use one where gravity is the result of the Earth accelerating upward. This would fill in a lot of the holes for you. The Earth’s original position would be the absolute rest position and the Earth’s speed could be calculated from the speed needed to create 1G in space. Is this why you’ve left these massive holes in your theory when posting here, because you’re a Flat Earth believer and you know your theory depends upon it? In a Flat Earth model the Sun would be accelerating with the Earth. I think all is becoming clear at last. |

100%.
I once wrote a 6502 machine language program for recording the output of a photoelectric photometer attached to a telescope that was being used to measure variable stars. I needed little if any math skills; all I needed was an understanding of how RAM worked and how to transfer blocks of RAM memory to a floppy disk. The most mathematical thing I had to do was to work out how to convert a WWVH time signal into digital data to record timings synchronised to the integration period of the the data blocks. That was a little tricky, but didn't require any high order mathematics (and for the first time it hit me that the time taken to execute a program was a significant factor in what I was trying to do). |

"I am absolutely brilliant and because of that, I'm never wrong. Oh, and I figured out that a theory which has been the foundation of huge swaths of modern technology and opening new insights into science and the universe around us is wrong. I am intimidated by mathematics though but it's really irrelevant; there's a famous person who might have helped produce something with an idea sans maths so obviously that's what I'm doing here. The reason you all cannot understand is you're either stupid or brainwashed or both. But I have evidence to prove what I say is true. It's not going to be produced for a while yet, and why yes, it's going to be produced by the same idiotic brainwashed people I despise and hold in contempt, but believe me, it's 100% proof that I'm right and a genius. In fact, there could be some software written to show you how right I am but I don't how to program because it's beneath me. Say, I'll give some piece of used furniture to someone if they'll write it for me. It's not worth it to me to pay anyone though, because you're all pretty much lowlifes compared to me. But if you do it, it's yours. So I'll give you some vague descriptions of my theory and you can just finish it up for me and there's your proof. Oh, you can't make software based on my specifications? Pathetic! You call yourself a programmer? Well, too bad for you all then."
Does that about sum it up? |

Please do not play at that game. It is clear from your posts that that is much arguable, indeed incontrovertibly so - and your last sentence is firm evidence as if any further was necessary.
Since I must assume you do not realize that from your last sentence : no matter how many times a lie/error is repeated, that can never make it true. Only reality makes things true or not. Just words do not. |

Bjarne is still repeating ignorance and delusions from years ago.

Bjarne: Argument by insult: SR is a valid scientific theory
8 January 2018 Bjarne: Argument by insult: SR is a valid scientific theory backed up with over a century of data.
SR will not be overturned by any "total mathematical idiot" - which you are not. It is high school level science that you are ignorant about. This is science that teenagers grasp in abut 5 minutes, i.e. that the laws of physics do not have specific units of measurement included. |

Bjarne: Lies by linking to an irrelevant and deluded PDF
8 January 2018 Bjarne: Lies by linking to an irrelevant and deluded PDF.
This is not about an acceleration caused by the dubious dark flow as in my post: This is your PDF being deluded that the even more dubious Allais effect must exist. |

It is precisely this that very soon will make this chapter of science the most embarrassing in world history.
The new Modified Theory of Relativity is so simple that a teenagers grasp in abut 5 minutes. A whole world of highly educated scientists will be put in the shadow of almost idiotic simple mathematics. Math every chicken, or and schoolboy should be able to understand. In other words, a chicken brain can bring our paradigm to its knees. And even a idiotic none educated farmer (with rotten teeth) only spending 7 years in school, can do the same. How humiliating would that be for arrogant students, teachers and professors , specialist etc.. spending there whole live educating them self and trying solve all these problems, and who wasted billion of $, €, £ etc , as well as brainwashed million of inocent student, if that what I just wrote is the truth ? The humiliating chapter will hurt in your camp RC, the bigger idiot you want to make me, the more humiliating it will be for yourself and your companions. Do not forget that.

Bjarne: Falls for a Daily Mail "Is Mercury an alien planet" title lie
The linked post starts with a display of astronomy and English ignorance about a Daily Mail article with a lying title!
Is Mercury an alien planet? One person in the article suggests that the results hint at the mainstream migration of planets within the early Solar System as seen simulations of the early Solar System. The Daily Mail lies with "alien" in the title You ignorantly repeat the lie and ignorantly think that this is a fantasy of "periodical orbit collapse". 8 January 2018 Bjarne: Falls for a Daily Mail "Is Mercury an alien planet" title lie. |

Yes Yes RC we all know it everybody is lying
But soon it will be definitive confirmed that a significant anisotropic acceleration is a matter of fact. It will soon be inevitably to understand that periodical orbit collapse is a matter of fact. Inevitably also to understand the causes of so-called Hot Jupiters too close to a star. Inevitably to understand that the small inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars , included their moons) survived the crash of their mother planet that once was orbiting the Sun. |

You sound like a very stable genius.
That strategy isn't working for you. As Joseph Goebbels (note spelling) and Lenin's successor Stalin demonstrated, telling the same lies will get people to pretend to accept the lies as truth, provided the lies are supported by systematic murder of dissenters. That's not really the same as lies becoming truth. |

Go back and re-read some of his posts, keeping in mind he is an apparent Flat-Earther. Suddenly everything makes sense. Many of the massive gaping holes in his theory are filled in by the Flat Earth denomination where gravity is caused by an accelerating Earth. His ego and hubris suddenly sound like the well-treaded boasting of Creationists convinced they’re smarter than real scientists. He’s trying to sell the Flat Earth theory through an anti-relativity back door. |

All existing evidence supports Relativity, so in this analogy you are the one insisting that the earth is a triangle and that new data that will become available in the next couple of years will prove it. You have now said that you will still continue to insist that it's a triangle even if that new data actually also supports it being round.This is the behaviour of a crackpot, not someone with an alternative theory that might or might not be confirmed by new data.

Great so "almost idiotic simple mathematics" are evidently beyond your capabilities, otherwise you would not be asking programmers to figure them out for you.
Proclaiming how idiotically simple your notions are doesn't help you. As your inability to actually accomplish the intent of those notions makes you even less than just idiotically simple, just by your own assertions. |

Now lets speak about Speciel Relativity.
Please define "All existing Evidence", - Included evidence that clearly demonstrate that there are no absolutte motion reference frame. Not lies , not brainwash, and not halleluja, - not bal bla bla bla GPS bal bal bla GPS GPS GPS bla bla bla... such are not EVIDENCE Show me Scientific Evidence, that have pasted the scientific method. Show me scientific evidence that clearly show that an absolutte motion reference frame NOT exist |

No, as W.D.Clinger notes people simply believing or agreeing doesn't constitute truth. If this is your plan, to simply keep repeating your tripe until it becomes truth, you should come up with a better plan. In fact, keep repeating "I should come up with a better plan" to yourself until you believe and agree that it is true.

I'm sure this has already been posted
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_...ral_relativity Again all you have to do to show that "there are no absolutte motion reference frame" is incorrect is to define such an absolute reference frame. So far you have asserted and defined your frames to be relative yourself. |

These are two of the most popular techniques amongst delusional pseudoscientists to insist that they be taken seriously. One is the application of affirming the consequent to well-known statements, which is best countered by Sagan's famous quote, "But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown." Equally, the fact that people can be fooled into believing a lie by telling it repeatedly does not imply that every statement made repeatedly is untrue. And the other is the time-honoured "Give me your evidence against my claim, except that I insist on the right to exclude evidence that refutes my claim because I hereby declare it not to be evidence." In reality, rather than nutterworld, the truth is that GPS works exactly as designed, and this is very clear evidence that the assumptions on which its design is predicated are sound ones.

But you've said that if the result is as expected you will still not admit that you are wrong. Which is most certainly not the Scientific Method. It's the Crackpot Method.
What precisely is the result of the ISS experiment that you are predicting, BTW? Be very, very specific. |
