It's an eye opening journey, one that once started one can never go back. It is this I think that stops many from questioning what they are told to believe. Right now they feel safe and warm, as mainstream claims to have all the answers. But once you really start to dig you realize just how much those answers contradict each other and rely on almost 98% unproven science. Hate using that word when it comes to mainstream theories as it's all Fairie Dust.comingfrom wrote:It is good to see Higgsy (and LaSuisse1, in Planetary Science forum) here asking questions.
It reminds of how we were once,
and how it is for others, when they first encounter the EU concepts.
How much trust we had in the mainstream sciences, before our eyes were opened.
Seems to me there are two ways Higgsy can go from here.
If his faith in mainstream is unshakable, he will judge us here to be deceived, and will go his merry way when he tires of questioning us,
or he goes on the wonderful journey of discovery and revelation we who are trying answer his questions all went on.
Are still on.
EU theory is a 2x revelatory journey.
One revelation is learning all the alternate theories that do exist, which we are continuously told do not exist.
The second revelation is learning how much mainstream science is fudged, and how much the fudges are worshiped.
The rare times when EU theory is mentioned by the mainstream, it is only to disapprove it, deny it, and to call the advocates crackpots.
So it is hidden from us.
To know what is going on, in EU and mainstream, one has to actively seek it out, and read.
And talk to those who already have.
And you find that EU people are open minded, friendly, and willing to help.
Look how many tried to help Higgsy with his questions.

But I hope they continue to dig, but sadly I find most have had too many years of Fairie Dust ingrained upon them. When you question mainstream theory you are not challenging a science, but a set of beliefs. And beliefs are the hardest thing to change of all.
