There is nothing quite like a pair of big binos and a dark sky.

The most obvious possible source of mass we can't see from here would be bare black holes or maybe cold, dark asteroids. Neither of these could be seen far away very easily. However, if there were enough of them to account for another 4 times the normal mass we can see, then they would...

When we look at orbital velocities around a point mass at the center of our galaxy, the equations work out well. The problem is as we move towards the edge of the galaxy, those equations don't work given the visible mass. There is some mass there we can't see. We can also eliminate all possible...

Good to see you back! To put up a profile picture, you have to click on your name and then "account details". To post a picture you must put it into some place like imgur and then reference it.

We can see that galaxy clusters are orbiting some thing. We can see that galaxy stars are orbiting something we can't see. We can see Einstein Rings where there is no visible mass to cause the image. These are three independent indications of large masses we can't see.

These are not evidence of missing gravity, they are evidence of missing mass. The only source of gravity, as we know it, is mass. We have excess gravity therefore there must be excess mass. If you want to argue for new physics to explain it, that is fine but then you are just as unobjective as...

You are correct. I only discuss the Standard Model, no alternative models. I have a personal policy of not understanding only one model at a time and right now I am not understanding the Standard Model. Your model will have to wait in line.

Yes, Black Holes expel matter through polar jets but the entire process of equatorial inflow and polar outflow is entirely outside the event horizon. Once crossing the event horizon, nothing can come out.

Recombination is simply what happens at the tip of a candle flame, where the gas goes from ionized back to neutral. It is no surprise to me that it occurred when the nascent fireball cooled. What caused the initial expansion? No one knows what went on before 10e-43 s, nor will we ever.

"But on apple for all mankind" ???

I discount anything I have not heard, and most things I have heard. I have no doubt you went through some sort of traumatic experience. You have presented no evidence of alien intelligence. Put some up and I will have a look.

Then go right ahead. Give us something that can be verified rather than tell us you can.

The account does not ring true. Most people would give a minutely detailed account of exactly where they were. All this says is 'in the woods'. Flowery imprecise language topped with vague references to being silenced. Nothing to see here.

1963 US GDP was $637B 1963 USSR GDP wa $228B The US had three times the resources to draw upon in the sixties than the USSR did. The Apollo program consumed 4% of our GDP in the busiest years. It would have taken the Soviets maybe 12% of theirs to equal us. A big stretch.

A "wormhole" is supposed to be a Black Hole you can drop into and then pop out somewhere else in the universe. Dropping into a Black Hole guarantees you be reduced to a tiny speck, crushed beyond recognition. Once you go into a Black Hole there is no way out. Wormhole is entirely imaginary.
