    Space.com Forums Closure

    It is certainly a shame. I am surprised we didn't see a fundraiser or something. I would give a few bucks to keep the forums going.

    Universal Motion Theory

    Quick update on my work: I’ve published a new paper titled Stable Identities: A Recursive Motion Framework to Zenodo with a DOI for open access. Stable Identities proposes a foundational reinterpretation of stable particles, not as point-like entities or quantum fields, but as recursive motion...

    Universal Motion Theory

    I appreciate your engagement with UMT. I want to warn you that this thread includes some ideas that ultimately did not work within UMT's structure. Timeless material is one of those dead ends. It is important to me that this thread includes developmental stepping stones. This is why I have not...

    Be very careful of using the word "zero".

    I’m referring to the common tendency to judge someone when their language doesn’t match our expectations. General Semantics promotes conscious awareness of language use, encouraging us to avoid overgeneralization and to recognize the uniqueness of each event or situation. But strict adherence...

    Universal Motion Theory

    The falsifiability table details a few things that I am hopeful for. However, there is one specific prediction that I am hopeful to acknowledge in my lifetime. The UMT prediction that I am referring to is Gravitational Wave Echoes during black hole merger events. The observation of echoes...

    Be very careful of using the word "zero".

    Of course not. I was referring to the development of a judgement against someone because they used superlative or imprecise language during informal conversation. I think the formation of that judgement would be problematic because it might adversely influence your interaction with that person.

    Be very careful of using the word "zero".

    Linguistic precision is essential in science. I think it can become problematic when we extend rigidity into informal communication. I was disappointed when I learned the cafe near me didn't have the world's best coffee.

    Can you help me with Copilots responses?

    You are being a bully. There’s no other honest way to frame this. You’ve gone beyond critique and entered into mockery, domination, and condescension. It’s shameful behavior, and I’m calling it out directly. You demand others engage with your theory in good faith while you insult theirs...

    The birth of the Quantum Convergence Threshold (QCT):

    I’ve gone through your entire paper, Section 4, as your ontological foundation, is not ideal. It relies on undefined terms like “0|∞,” gestures toward paradox without resolving or formalizing it, and ultimately leans on mysticism rather than clarity. Quoting Schrödinger and invoking Advaita...

    Universal Motion Theory

    Your critique appears to lack due diligence. I’m not sure what your intended goal is here, but it doesn’t seem aligned with constructive engagement.

    New interpretation of QM, with new two-phase cosmology, solves 15 foundational problems in one go.

    I provided a detailed breakdown of your entire document. You responded with eight items and criticized an LLM for “failing to understand.” But consider this: if a highly capable language model cannot parse your claims, what realistic chance does a human reader have? The rest of my critique...

    Universal Motion Theory

    Outlining explicit falsifiability criteria is a meaningful step—especially given that I'm operating without institutional access or experimental infrastructure. If your expectation is direct execution of those tests, then I agree: that’s beyond my current capacity. But defining the pathways for...

    Be very careful of using the word "zero".

    I can certainly appreciate the definitional distinctions being explored here. I think semantic or otherwise, it is valuable to understand what is meant, precisely, by the use of "zero". In physics, especially cosmology, the role of zero often slips between three interpretations: The...

    Universal Motion Theory

    From the UMT manuscript: A cornerstone of scientific theory is empirical falsifiability. Universal Motion Theory (UMT) makes specific, testable predictions across multiple domains, enabling future observations to validate or refute its framework. Key falsifiability stakes include...

    Universal Motion Theory

    I would disagree with your assessment. It sounds like you learned something and it also seems like you explored your ideas as thoroughly as possible. I would not classify this as a waste of time. Even if UMT is ultimately falsified, I would not say my time was wasted. I have learned so much...
