When they irrationally compare EU theory to astrology or flat earth concepts, or pseudoscience, they're actually projecting their own scientific inadequacies onto the EU model. They don't have a valid scientific rebuttal to EU theory so they simply make up false accusations out of whole cloth, like claiming that EU theory is somehow incompatible with gravity, or that EU solar models predict "no neutrinos". They simply *lie* about the EU model outright and make up ridiculous nonsense to deflect the fact that own their model is so scientifically bankrupt. If anyone dares to publicly call them on their unethical behavior, or point out the scientific flaws of their own model, they ridicule them or simply ban them and forcefully silence them.

LCDM proponents constantly use ad hominems and personal attacks to debase the whole EU concept because unless they engage in purely unethical behavior, they really have nothing to criticize. Dave didn't even bother to spend a whole hour *studying* the EU topic in earnest. He doesn't even understand the intellectual difference between a solar model and a cosmology model. He just watched a couple of Youtube videos apparently and then he just made up a bunch of crap so he could produce a "click bait" video to earn some money on Youtube. Anyone that points out any flaws in his presentation is then subject to personal attacks and ad hominems galore, both from Dave, and by other LCDM 'proponents. In my case Dave just banned me entirely.

The lack of ethics exhibited by public EU/PC "debunkers'/haters is absolutely appalling. In most cases they don't even use their real names. In this case, Dave unethically tries to pass himself off as a "professor", when in fact the lacks the degrees that are required to become a professor. Nothing about his presentation was honest, not even his phony-baloney title of "professor". Nothing about Dave's behavior is ethical. The whole purpose of creating the video was motivated by personal greed in fact.

Vocal EU haters on the internet are pretty much all alike. They're lazy, they're cowards and they're liars. We see that time and time and time again. None of them even *understand* the EU cosmology model, or understand the difference between solar theory or cosmology theory. None of them could explain the difference between the solar model that Birkeland proposed/used, the model Alfven used, or tell the difference between the various EU solar models. They don't dare try to learn about this stuff either, lest their entire willful ignorance of the topic fall apart and leave them defenseless. So instead of being honest, doing the work that's necessary to learn about EU theory, they just make stuff up, willfully lie about it and ban or personally attack anyone who points out their errors. Lather, rinse, repeat, over and over and over again. It's like talking to a brick wall.

I've noticed this, rather than logical argument 80% of anti-EU Theory posters (or just pro-LCDM) on his video and elsewhere make a blank comparison with Flat Earthers, with no elaboration or even reasoning to the comparison. It is essentially Level 1 Strawman argument by exact definition.

"Professor" Dave (NOT actually a professor btw) picks easy targets, Flat Earthers etc. no impressive amount of intelligence required, then he - piggybacking his easy success - drags in the EU Theory and makes strawman argument without even criticizing it (his video is full of lies and misrepresentation).

LCDM Cosmology actually has more in common with Flat Earth theory, it relies on made up science and entirely defies the empirical method and common sense at fundamental levels and reasoning. The common EU Theory merely suggests the only known and feasible (macroscopic) force (except gravity) electromagnetism is likely to play a much larger role in observed cosmology than is currently believed, this is an entirely logical position and comparisons with FE Theory are nonsense and baseless.

Until Dave accepts a debate or to properly answer critiques of his misrepresentation, I recommend people keep commenting on his video that he won't and is deleting most comments that specifically debunk his trash claims.

Would be a good introduction to a response video exposing his false claims:

"as of this date, 'Professor' Dave refuses to debate or answer genuine critiques of his 20 minutes of misrepresentation of the EU/PC Theory."

These publc debates are undoubtedly a lot like the debates between Ptolemy and heliocentrism. For 18 centuries astronomers dissed on and ignored the heliocentric model first proposed by Aristarchus of Samos. Copernicus didn't invent the concept of heliocentrism, he read about it from Aristarchus and explained as much. Instead of the mainstream giving the credit where credit was actually due, they spent 18 centuries ridiculing the concept and the man, and then they eventually gave the credit for the idea to the wrong person, blamed the "Church" for their own sins, all in an attempt to cover up 18 centuries of willful ignorance by so called "scientists".

Today is no different. They've ridiculed Birkeland's work for a century, ridiculed Alfven' work for more than a half of a century, ridiculed Peratt's work for decades, and ridiculed the EU model for as long as it's been discussed. What they *won't* do however is actually try to understand it correctly and present it correctly and let others make up their own minds based on a valid comparison of both concepts. They live in fear that their own reputations will bite the dust, never seeming to realize that they are actually on the wrong side of history and science. Welcome to the Machiavellian world of astronomy.

I often make this comparison, the similarity (at least from my historical research) is far closer than most people would believe, the debates and their representations had the same condescending mockery, Strawman misrepresentations, ad-hominem etc. as they do today. A lot of the Plotemic believers were brilliant inventors, mathematicians, and innovators (like a lot LCDM Cosmology believers and relativists today) but that didn't make them right, it just made it harder to shake off the Earth-centric thinking with common sense as it was a position that was drowned out by a condescending racket.

I wonder if the Plotemic philosophers felt smart debunking/debating the Flat Earthers back then ... imagine that :lol: :

"oh Copernicus ... your thoughts are as misplaced as the Flat Earthers! You are denying over a century of great established Science with your heliocentric crackpot rubbish, go back to school and learn your facts before making a nonsense claim that the Earth orbits the Sun!"

"It was the Plotemic model that brought us out of the Flat Earth dark age, now Copernicus and his absurd followers want to drag us back into a nonsense idea of the Earth orbiting the Sun, denying an established accepted fact by all the world's greatest mathematicians and philosophers."

Dave's whole presentation is based on willful misrepresentation, and projection. Think about it for a moment. Only two "macroscopic" (outside the atomic nucleus) forces exist in nature that we know of, specifically gravity (whatever its cause) and EM fields. EU/PC theory is essentially the use of the two *known* macroscopic forces of nature to explain the universe. There is nothing usual or complicated or metaphysical about it. It's pure physics, and pure science. There's no sort of "faith' in the 'unseen' (in the lab) required to study the universe in that manner. The concept of EU theory is entirely consistent with all the known laws of physics, and every laboratory test to date. It's consistent with every other branch of physics, including the standard particle physics model, circuit theory, laboratory plasma physics, EM theory, etc. It's consistent with every observation in space, including high redshift observations.

The LCDM model however essentially attempts to *exclude* or minimize the roll of the electric field, and electrical current when trying to describe the universe. It embraces exactly one half of EM field theory in terms trying to explain events in space. It's proponents talk about the observation of *magnetic* fields in plasma in space, yet they pretend they somehow manifest themselves in the *absence* of current flow and electric fields which is simply *inconsistent* with everything that we know about EM fields. The LCDM model then tries to "make up the difference" of ignoring the electrical aspects of plasma by stuffing in all sorts of metaphysical nonsense, like exotic matter, exotic energies, space expansion, etc, none of which are even known to exist in nature. The LCDM model violates the known laws of conservation of energy. It's inconsistent with the standard model of particle physics. It's inconsistent with EM theory. It's inconsistent with circuit theory. It's inconsistent with laboratory experimentation with plasma. It's even inconsistent with direct observation at higher redshifts. A full 95 percent of the model is based on absolute and unwavering "faith" in the "unseen" in the lab.

When they irrationally compare EU theory to astrology or flat earth concepts, or pseudoscience, they're actually projecting their own scientific inadequacies onto the EU model. They don't have a valid scientific rebuttal to EU theory so they simply make up false accusations out of whole cloth, like claiming that EU theory is somehow incompatible with gravity, or that EU solar models predict "no neutrinos".

The worst part is that many of the worst offenders have been engaging in that unethical behavior for *years*, sometimes for entire *decades*. Wow.

I do however think we need to recognize that the worst offenders are probably *not* even real astrophysicists. Dave certainly isn't one. They derived their ego gratification by *pretending* to understand cosmology theories (plural), when in fact they probably don't even correctly understand *any* of them. About the only exception is Brian Koberlein who is gainfully employed as an astrophysicist and spends his free time making up stuff about EU theory and willfully misrepresenting it on the internet.

Cowards are all alike

by Michael Mozina » Wed May 06, 2020 3:53 pm

Since Dave has refused to respond to my challenge, every day for the past three days I've posted my challenge to Dave's "Debunking EU" video page, and today he did what all cowards do, he banned me and removed all of my responses from his video page. :) Typical.

EU haters simply cannot handle an honest scientific debate, nor can they admit to being wrong, so they do what all good cowards do, they run like frightened little children from any sort of honest response or honest challenge to their click bait BS. Dave is actually worse than most of them because Dave is actually profiting from his own intentional misinformation. That's about as unprofessional and unethical as it gets. "Professor" Dave is a con man and a total fraud. He's not even a active "professor" to begin with. Even that phony boloney title that he gave himself is just more false information and it's all a part of his con job. I think his only "job" is generating Youtube revenue by posting false click bait videos and stirring up controversy. What a lying, greedy, unethical putz. Sheesh.

The obvious pattern with EU/PC haters is that they never even bother to study a century's worth of published literature on this topic. They don't begin to understand the concepts in the first place, and they certainly don't understand the mathematical models put forth by Birkeland, Alfven, Peratt, Scott, etc. They narcissisticly fancy themselves as "saving humanity" from false information, when in fact they're simply projecting their own willful ignorance and their own unethical behaviors and others. They don't even comprehend the difference between a *cosmology* model and solar model, and they don't have a clue what they're talking about. They just spew ignorant nonsense, and other ignorant people just eat it up. They just feed off each others ignorance and narcissism.

Dave takes it to a whole new level by figuring out a way to actually *profit* from his wilful ignorance and the ignorance of his unsuspecting audience. Even his use of the title "Professor" is an unethical part of his con game. Wow!

I guess we'll add Dave Farina (AKA "Professor" Dave explains from Youtube) to the EU/PC hater wall of shame. Like all good haters, Dave doesn't use his full name on Youtube. He misleads his viewers because he isn't actually a real "professor" at all, and apparently his only interest in this topic is generating Youtube revenue by posting false and misleading "click bait' videos.

Like all good EU/PC haters, he never lifted a finger to do any actual research on the topic. He willfully and intentionally misrepresented the whole model. His only rebuttals to being called out on his nonsense is to personally attack everyone who tries to educate him. Like all good haters he can't tell the difference between a solar model and a cosmology model. He's unwilling to even do any actual scientific research. Denial and ad homs are his only means of dealing with the facts.

Dave pretty much typifies the unprofessional and irrational mindset of all EU/PC "debunkers". They have no idea what they're even talking about in the first place, and they have no desire to actually learn about it or discuss it rationally. In Dave's case however, there's a much more sinister and dark motive. He's in it for the money and he couldn't therefore care any less about the actual "science". Like all good cowards, he steadfastly refuses to even have a real scientific debate on this topic. What a sad man.

That only works if people are not using logical fallacies.
One of the key debate tactics I see with astronomers is the use of projection in debate. They'll often refer to empirical physical alternatives to their metaphysical nonsense as "crackpot" ideas, or "crank" theories, or try to compare them to a religious belief system.

The irony of course is that religious beliefs are typically rooted in a belief in a *metaphysical* construct which cannot be supported by direct empirical controlled laboratory evidence, but can only be "inferred" through the "effect" said metaphysical construct has on something else. Dark matter/energy cannot be demonstrated in controlled empirical experiments but must simply be inferred based on their supposed "effect" on something else.

I cannot even imagine a more "crackpot" theory than one which willfully violates the conservation laws of energy, not just once, but twice, in two distinct ways. The LCDM model has to be the single biggest 'crackpot" concept ever proposed. It's failed every lab test to date, and it's failed more observational "tests" than I can count.

There's just something wildly amusing about astronomers referring to EU/PC concepts as "crackpot" ideas when in fact none of them violate any laws of physics, even if they're wrong. On the other hand, to even hold belief in LCDM theory one must suspend all logic entirely, and suspend belief in the laws of physics as we know them.

The only way that astronomers seem to be able to "control the flock" is to ban all dissent and to ban anyone who proposes any alternatives to their beliefs. That's certainly not a good sign if you ask me. I think the only thing that holds the LCMD belief system together in fact are logical fallacies galore. "Our galaxy mass estimates are flawless (in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary), therefore exotic matter did it." Nothing like basing your entire argument on an affirming the consequent fallacy.

but has no concept of 3D reality.
(So you should not let it drive your car.)

A sophisticated AI grounded in empirical/logical deduction and tasked with a pursuit of scientific discovery would obviously discard Special Relativity and its observer dependent fallacies almost immediately, it would be "near the bottom" of the list as a physical explanation to observed phenomena (especially the MM Experiment, which it would quickly reason towards an Earth entrained Ether or some type of Emission Theory where the motion of the source (not observer) effects velocity). One thing for sure is it would at least consider the difference in fringe shift changed during night and day, and seasons (this was proven even more so by Miller), it would cross correlate this with magnetic field effects and variables that might effect the apparatus to produce this effect. And try and isolate effects.

Despite the accusation by Shankland, Miller took careful consideration of temperature (Miller was the mastermind behind empirical measurement in every single relative light experiment, he even calculated vibration effects of carriages outside in the original MM Experiments)

Special Relativity (Lorentz Transformations) doesn't even work in typical basic x-axis "2 dimensional" simulated examples, because the causality issues can create contradicting outcomes.

I like honest skepticism.

I am far more sceptical of my own ideas.
And that is why I even got into this stuff.

I never thought that the sun could be electrical, until
I looked at the actual plasma dynamics.
Then I could not believe that scientists made such huge mistakes,
until I read the reactions to my careful criticism.

I was first very sceptical of Planck's Loader model too.
I have done many calculations to predict the electron bands in semi-conductors and such.
But kept using it, because it was far simpler and still working.
It is the Null-hypothesis of Quantum Mechanics (QM).
And the null-hypothesis is a good start-point for scientific progress:
you have to invalidate the null-hypothesis before you can make the next step.
And this has not been done yet for QM.

Just looking at the LIGO and the generated BH picture,
it is clear that the mainstream astronomy has lost all skepticism.
Not even a little bit.
Instead they are claiming to have found "breakthroughs".

Yet when a laboratory detects redshift in plasma that can invalidate
some of the claims in astronomy, the astronomers are all up in arms
to attack it. Instead we need to have a deeper investigation in how
it exactly affects certain observations.
That is no skepticism, it is religious protectionism.

You can run any machine-learning simulation in a computer,
and if you have no proper feedback loop,
it will produce garbage after a while.
It is actually one of the difficult parts of designing an AI.

As a dynamic learning system, the mainstream astronomy community has
no proper feedback loop that can correct itself.
Instead the "skepticism" is preventing any correction.
And this way, the mainstream astronomy has become an idiocracy.
Sure, but look at it this way. The only way to "correct" this problem is to allow for, and to promote an honest *skeptical* debate. If we want the mainstream to remain open to skepticism, then we must do the same. It's not easy for us to hear criticism and it's not easy for LCMD proponents to hear criticism either. We should be willing to set a good example IMO.

I disagree with a lot of what Higgsy has to say here, and I think most of it is simply invalid. I'm certainly not threatened by his skepticism even if I find it exhausting at times. If we're interested in finding 'truth', we're going to have to learn how to discuss these topics freely without overreacting and without emotional attachment to any specific ideas.

Higgsy is ultimately trying to do us a 'favor', at least in his own mind, just as I am trying to do LCDM proponents a "favor' by criticizing the LCDM model. If I want Higgsy to hear my criticisms of his beliefs, I have to be willing to hear his criticisms of my beliefs as well. That's only fair.

Admittedly I'm not impressed with the fact that Higgsy refuses to discuss the problems in the LCDM model yet, but I still hold out hope that he will *eventually* get around to applying that same level of skepticism he's applying to the EU model to his own preferred model. If he ever does that honestly, we both know his beliefs will change over time just as our beliefs changed over time. My beliefs didn't *instantly* change however, so I don't expect that his beliefs will either. Patience is a virtue in this case IMO. Persistence is also warranted. I will persist in trying to get Higgsy to discuss and openly look at the problems in the LCDM model as I try to alleviate his concerns about the EU/PC cosmology model. Sooner or later he'll come around, or he will just leave because he can't handle the criticisms of his own cosmology beliefs.

Meh. Controversy is good for science, and EU/PC theory won't wilt from a little honest skepticism. Higgsy's purpose here is ultimately no different than my purpose on mainstream astronomy websites. He's simply providing some honest (as he perceives it) feedback and some skeptical debate. I personally think that's good for science in general. I don't begrudge him his right to be skeptical of EU/PC theory anymore than I begrudge myself the right to be skeptical of the LCMD model of cosmology.

What I find to be *unhealthy* about Higgy's approach however is that he's been unwilling to discuss or deal with the shortcomings in his own beliefs and models. For instance, I've tried for weeks to get Higgsy to discuss the fact that his preferred alternative to explaining redshift requires us to abandon the laws of physics. That's not a 'small" problem, it's a *huge* problem. Unfortunately he refuses to deal with that problem openly and honestly. That's frustrating, but not unexpected.

Higgsy being a true and reliable skeptic will continue to quote spam and create pages of junk responses and circle jerk tit-tats. The underlying purpose of this is to create so much noise in the forum that real information is swept away so it is not seen. he also believes in space unicorns, infinite density wormholes with multiple universes, and a separate string world for every quantum twitch. He's so skeptical he doesn't even believe in Atoms any more.

Like an AI that is trained to see the difference between a cat and a mouse,

(So you should not let it drive your car.)

Reasons why it diverges, based on computer science and machine learning:

1. The academics in the top are determining what criticism is allowed.
So no old and/or fundamental errors are ever corrected.

2. So it creates a gateway of "publish or perish".
Which means that only if you agree with the set paradigm, you can rise in the group.
So it repeats the old pattern.

3. It has a dumping system that removes criticism.
If you disagree too much, you are set out of the community.
So criticism from inside is blocked. You can not change the paradigm.

4. New findings create new specialisations around these findings.
These form separate independent concepts.
Like dark matter/energy.
Even worse in psychology.
It shows that there is something wrong in the shared fundamental model.
The specialisations prevent the feedback on fundamental level.

5. Within the paradigm all weird fantasies are allowed.
Multiverse and wormholes, but no electric currents.

6. Presentations, animations, fake simulations and artworks.
New "discoveries" need to trigger the fantasy,
and don't need to be real.
(As long you are in the paradigm)

7. Money.
(and status for some scientists).

Note: idiocracy describes how the society diverges from common sense,
and mainstream astronomy is doing the same thing.

It has "dark matter"
