That does not make the findings from his work untrue, just because he was careful man who did not make statements that could be erroneous or misinterpreted.

No-one, @Gibsense or myself, has told you to "suck it up", we have simply pointed out where you are making basic and fundamental errors in your understanding, this is not personal and should not be taken that way, it is simply science and education. Here’s a clear and respectful refutation of...

Ursa Major is a CONSTELLATION that happens to be a chance alignment, from the perspective of the solar system, of the stars we have assigned to that asterism in space. Polaris, the brightest star in the constellation Ura Minor, is a multiple star some 136.3 parsecs (Gaia DR2 estimate) from...

Space Prose - very polite - I was thinking something more fibrous and steaming.

The Galaxy is simply referred to as "The Galaxy" or "The Milky Way", it does not have a reference in any catalogue of astronomical objects. Sgr A* is not a point in space, it is the SMBH at the heart of the galaxy - not quite the same thing.

I would suggest these engines are for the their upcoming attempts at the Moon, Mars and there are suggestions of a lander for Venus. The existing rocket motors they use are not up to this in an efficien way.

Interesting - dovetails well with some research I have been doing about the properties of black holes and the formation of the SMBH ones that live in the heart of galaxies.

Here’s a reasoned refutation of this post, breaking down the misconceptions, I will give you a mark at the end as if this were course work. Misrepresentation of the Hubble Constant The Hubble constant (H0) quantifies the relationship between the distance of galaxies and their recession...

Your post contains several philosophical and scientific misunderstandings about quantum mechanics and its implications. Let’s break it down systematically. You will have a mark at the end as if this was a Course Question. Materialism and Classical Physics: Materialism does assert the...

Here’s a concise and reasoned refutation of your post, addressing its misconceptions and speculative leaps without too much deep thinking. I have put on a "professor" hat for this as if I was marking work. Refutation of Key Points: Misunderstanding of n-Spheres While it's true that the...

Whilst the Universe does not use the human concept of time as we think of it, time is very much a real thing that has a fiundamental impact on the Universe and all processes within it, whether they be quantum, atomic or chemical. From a physics perspective, time is a fundamental quantity that...

You are conflating totally unconnected ideas and topics. I stand by my post, the information within it and that it is a wholly incorrect idea. We may not understand what gravity is and where it comes from, other than it is the product of mass (in simple terms), but we also do know what it is...

The hypothesis that gravitational potential energy (or the energy of the gravitational field) is the source of dark energy is an intriguing and creative idea. However, several points in this argument lack consistency with established physics, and key assumptions require further scrutiny. Here’s...

Glad to be useful. It is an intriguing concept and theory, I have read the paper and run the numbers, it checks out - but that may not make it true or even all of the answer, nature has a habit of combining "solutions" to create confusion until we realise we need to take off the blinkers and...

Wooden it be good if journalists did some research and found their statements about wood used in satellites is simply factually wrong as @Hevach has pointed out in his post.
