Sounds strangely familiar...I wonder why?

I don't know if Chapline read AVT or not, but he's making statements that sound an awful lot like those I made seven years ago. His ideas therefore aren't exactly new--and their incomplete to boot.

I explained and defined a whole new life cycle of a star that basically explained that black holes are the reversal of polarity of a great vortex/star. All stars will eventually become black holes or "dark energy stars." They bring energy from other spectra into this plane and then when they reverse polarity, they siphon our energy out into lower spectra.

Gravitational collapse is better described as a polarity reversal in the vortex. The flow of energy is not collapsing, rather it is no longer channeling energy in the same direction.

As Tesla said about Marconi. "Marconi's a fine fellow, let him continue his experiments. He's using 23 of my patents."

As long as they trap themselves in the 2D universe and fail to realize that there is a nonstop flow of energy between our physical universe and other spectra, they will be non-plussed by the expansion, bewildered by bursts of energy and viewing the universe in a finite manner.
