The tipping point....

Unread post by Michael Mozina » Tue Aug 29, 2017 10:03 am

By my estimation, the tipping point for LCDM is theory is approximately 6-12 years away. The mainstream has committed themselves to LUX-LZ and the Xenon-1T experiments and they've already gotten those experiments funded, but justifying the invisible exotic matter snipe hunt beyond that point is going to be a difficult sell IMO.

After the release of that bullet cluster study in 2006, the mainstream had extremely high hopes of justifying their exotic matter claims in the lab with LHC and other such experiments. The reverse has actually occurred. They've blown their billion dollar wad on the "hope" of finding something exotic at LHC, only to have LHC turn right around and blow away SUSY theory, while directly supporting every aspect of the standard particle physics model, right down to finding the Higgs, and verifying all the unusual decay predictions of the standard model perfectly.

Worse yet, the baryonic mass estimation technique that was used in that now infamous bullet cluster study was shown to be ridiculously flawed.

In short, in 2017, the mainstream has no logical justification for exotic matter. Their entire case amounts to a special pleading argument related to their nucleosynthesis needs, and BAO curve fitting problems they have without DM. In short, we must allow them to keep mythical forms of exotic matter in their theory, otherwise their model falls completely apart and it's falsified outright.

The mainstream can't even handle a real public online debate at this point. About the best they can do to try to stave off the inevitable rise of EU/PC theory is to blatantly misrepresent the facts like Bridgman and Koberlein, and to ban all dissent from their websites. The problem with misrepresenting the facts is that it ultimately destroys their own scientific credibility, and they risk losing their audience completely. They can't hide their invisible universe problems from the public by banning dissent on their websites and banning all discussion of EU/PC theory. There are lots of websites in cyberspace. :)

It's pretty much curtain time for the mainstream with the launch of the James Webb telescope IMO. They'll see galaxies for as far as they can see, and they'll be surprisingly 'mature' galaxies too, just you wait and see. :)

When you live in an infinite, eternal and electrically active universe, you can't pretend it all started with 'bang' and pretend that there are no E fields in space, and try to pretend that E fields have no application to solar physics. :) It just won't work out right. For crying out loud, the mainstream still can't even explain the heat source of the sun's corona even though Birkeland explained it and simulated it in his lab over a *century* ago!

The public seems to be steadily losing faith in LCDM claims now. Even some intelligent dissenters within the mainstream have to be losing faith in the invisible universe belief system. Empirical physics *always* eventually triumphs over metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, and this will be no exception. A theory that is 95 percent metaphysical fudge factor doesn't stand a chance over the long haul compared to a purely empirical description of the universe.

Photon redshift is *known* to occur in plasma, and that lab demonstrated process *must* play a role in the Hubble distance relationship. Space plasma would have to literally be "magic" to not have the very same effect on photons in space as it has on them here on Earth. In the lab, photons transfer and lose some of their momentum to the plasma medium. It must work that way in space too.

In 2017, having now spent *billions* of dollars/euros searching for exotic matter in controlled experimentation, there is still *zero* empirical evidence of exotic matter. That charade can't last forever.

If LIGO's so called "discovery" claims blow up in their face, the tipping point will probably happen sooner rather than later, but the mainstream cosmology theory is likely to reach the tipping point over the next decade or so, no matter what happens with LIGO. Unless Xenon-1T or LUX-LZ come up with a miracle, the exotic matter jig is up and the LCDM jig is up.

IMO LIGO will have some affect on the timing of the tipping process. If LIGO makes good on multimessenger astronomy, it will add some 'credibility' to the mainstream's beliefs in the eyes of the public, but most of that "benefit" has already occurred because most folks in the public just took them at their word the first time. More "successes" aren't likely to impress them much. Skeptics like me might eventually be convinced of the existence of gravitational waves by LIGO delivering on multimessenger astronomy, but it won't sway my opinions about LCDM theory one iota. Either way, it's not likely to save LCDM, it will just slow down the eventual migration to EU/PC theory.

The dark matter dilemma has become the Achilles heel of LCDM in 2017. Without finding it soon, the mainstream is toast. They've already spent billions of dollars on that search at LHC and various DM experiments, and they've come up completely empty. I think if they come up empty at Xenon-1T and LUX-LZ, even some die hard "believers" in the mainstream are going to start 'losing faith' and start jumping ship.

Woo hoo! Shame we have to wait 6-12 years though. What is there interesting to talk about in the meantime?

Well, there's solar atmospheric physics, and we can laugh at everything they are "surprised" by in James Webb images. :)

The fat lady is singing on dark matter and LCDM

Somewhere deep down inside themselves, it has to bother "professional" astronomers to know that they cannot handle an open and an honest scientific debate on the topic of astronomy or solar physics in cyberspace. The best that they can try to do is pretend that it's "ok" that they are utterly incapable of "explaining" 95 percent of their own beliefs, while simultaneously pretending that they understand the specific percentage composition of the universe, and how it began down to the last few fractions of a second. They pretend that they know when it started to within a few hundred million years, what it's made of down to fractions of a percent, and they pretend they know what was occurring in the first few seconds of it's "creation". What utter nonsense.

The combo of their absolute "certainty" of a big bang, combined with their misuse of 95 percent placeholder terms for human ignorance, is simply laughable. Not only don't they "know" that there was a "big bang" to start with, they have no empirical evidence to support that claim in the first place!

Photon redshift happens in the lab as photons lose some of their momentum to the plasma medium. Photon redshift in plasma is not a function of "space expansion" it's a function of how waves travel through a medium, even a 'transparent medium'. Period.

https://phys.org/news/2017-06-atomic-ma ... radox.html

While there are *numerous* ways which we might experiment with a photon energy transfer processes in plasma, there are no ways to demonstrate that 'space expansion' is even a *possible* cause of photon redshift, let alone that it's a "likely" cause of such an observation.

Three out of the four (including inflation) "supernatural" constructs of LCDM are based upon the claim that "space expansion" has an effect on a photon. The placeholder term for human ignorance called "dark energy" makes up a full 70 percent of their theory. Even a *tiny* bit of photon momentum loss to the plasma medium would do away with any need for "dark energy".

There were also at least a half dozen *serious* baryonic mass estimation problems in that now *infamously* flawed bullet cluster study from 2006, and "dark matter" has failed every single lab experiment and "test" to date. Billions have been spent. Nothing has been found. Meanwhile, the standard particle physics model has passed every single 'test' performed to date.

While it may have been possible to pretend that there are actual cosmology "experts" prior to the internet, the internet has leveled that playing field so completely that the mainstream has to simply run from online debate, hold themselves up in their online astronomy fortresses, and *ban* any and all dissent from their websites. You know it's gotten really bad because they have to blatantly and publicly misrepresent the facts around EU/PC theory and burn all of their heretics at the public stake. That isn't a useful long term strategy, in fact that a recipe for professional disaster.

I can't help but believe that even some astronomers already know that the handwriting is on the wall. They just don't know how to jump ship (professionally) yet.

I'm not confident of a near future tipping.
We see little bits of realization of electricity from time to time, but the theorists manage to botch that too,
like they do with other aspects of physics.
No, I think math and virtual mechanics are what we will get for a long time.
They managed to bury mechanics under math for a 100 years, I think they can do it for a lot longer yet.

This quote sums it up so well.
The weak force was oversold for the same reason QCD and quarks were oversold and for the same reason string theory is now oversold: PR. Physics has become a constant noisy vulgar bid for the Nobel Prize, and every new idea from the top of any subfield in physics is now accompanied by its own advertising campaign. The links to the media we see now were built in the 1960’s, and they have been perfected since then. We don’t have just a few press releases, we have a broad propaganda campaign filtered through a thousand media sources online and off. The science journals, online encyclopedias, and mainstream media updates lead this blitz, with daily announcements read straight to the public. This is followed by a barrage of books and PDF’s, and the seeding of a thousand forums. Physicists like Weinberg set themselves apart not only for their bold use and misuse of the new maths, but for their bold use of the media. Like Hawking and Feynman, Weinberg has been a master of the bet, the intimidation, and the pose. He has cowed thousands of students, impressed ten of thousands of fellow mathematicians with his chutzpah, and stayed one step ahead of the particle accelerators. This is what it is to be a modern physicist.

Except they have NOT found the Higgs and had to cheat with their math to make it appear they had. Miles and others have nicely dissected their flawed claim.

Something else I'm noticing.

Every time I'm hearing how the search for dark matter is failing, I'm also hearing how perfect the standard model of particle physics is turning out to be.
They have got to be kidding!
They got one zoo of predicted particles, like quarks and gluons which have never been observed, and another zoo of observed particles, and never do the twain meet.
Their model is all gobblegook and fudged math which, imo, is far from perfect.

I think they're using one failure to cry success to their other failure.
