Why not use your reasoning, instead,

ER — 11/28/2012 11:28:26 PM (archived)

to suggest an experiment or observation that could prove or disprove your opinions? Until you do, your opinions are just opinions, no matter how much reasoning you have lavished on them.

I'm not giving you a hard time, J. I'm just trying to remind everyone here that what we think doesn't matter. The universe is out there waiting for us to come and find out.

        It is interesting how an honest dialogue often turns towards the absurd. - johannes - 11/30/2012 7:46:46 PM
        
        People saying absurd things will do that. - alcaray - 11/30/2012 8:30:50 PM

        Contraction, explosion, expansion. Perhaps. - johannes - 11/29/2012 7:50:56 PM

        The concept of an experimental proof is very simple. - johannes - 11/29/2012 7:41:53 PM
        
        No, Johannes. - ER - 11/29/2012 8:10:59 PM

        The calculations? - johannes - 11/30/2012 2:53:49 AM
        
        The calculations do not need to explain any theory to any layman. - alcaray - 11/30/2012 3:49:47 AM
        
        You are assuming that it is the “mass” that causes the gravitational field. - johannes - 11/30/2012 7:46:02 PM
        
        No I am not. - alcaray - 11/30/2012 8:35:11 PM
        
        OK now that you read about it. - johannes - 12/1/2012 3:39:06 AM
