Arxiv is a preprint platform, getting something up on it does not validate anything except that it passed a preliminary spam/insanity check. He collaborates with one guy, with a verizon.net e-mail address.
The second link is even more suspect, just go the front page of that site and read about "dissident science".
We're in the core of the problem, here! If only places where you get to publish your findings are cooky sites or sites hosted by yourself, there's no problem IF the systems employed by publishing papers were good enough. Now we're in a situation where a bunch of ivory tower greyskulls tell me that this one idea is false and therefore it should not be published. Other greyskulls tell me that since it has not been published in a reputable journal, it must be false. This is circular reasoning if anything.

While there are too many concepts discovered by the human race to be comprehended by a single person, in theory it should be possible to backtrack the path from current scientific consensus and see where certain ideas came from, why they were accepted and why rivaling ideas were rejected. Otherwise you're just taking someone's word for a fact and we know how well that usually goes.

Fundamental constants don't have to be (and probably aren't) derived from anything, the speed of light could be one like that. His idea of it not being constant has not been observed, but if the rate of change is so small where we could not test it on human timescales, then its similar to string theory in not being testable/verifiable.
I agree that there is no assurance which would state that there are no magic numbers out there, but if the foundation of the speed of light is one of the biggest open questions in modern physics and someone produces a set of ideas which would explain why it is exactly as much as it is, surely they would be worth investigating?

It's not irrelevant at all since your whole argument hinges on Suntola being right. Also I'm curious if you have any expertise in general relativity or are you just saying that he is right because it looks neat?
I've just university engineer physics knowledge, which is why this is A WEE BIT TRICKY to check up on these concepts. I can follow the beginning of the Dynamic Universe book because it's essentially just same high school physics as anywhere else, but past that... :saddowns:

And as I said, even if we forget Suntola altogether, my initial claim was the universities are religious organisations like any organisations that are formed by humans. The people inside have not magically overcome our species' cult mentality, fear of outsiders, fear of angering superiors, etc. I would find this claim really hard to refute, but feel free to try.


not a bot posted:

The problem with Suntola is that he makes claims which aren't based on any actual evidence and then claims he's being persecuted because modern physics hasn't been thrown into trash heap. He's basically writing physics fanfic.
Here's where I would disagree, though. Since we have loads of measurement data of our universe, any new model would have to accommodate that data. If this is not the case, then it should be easily shown that the underlying model produces inconsistent values from this set of measurements. With the certainty that all these high and mighty science people have discredited his work, I'm sure their skills are such that presenting this inconsistency would be child's play!

Suntola shows with many examples of how his model corresponds with measurements taken from our universe.




And don't get me wrong. Universities are the best chance we currently have for gaining information about the world around us. But they're far from infallible, and have time and time again made huge fuckups in the history of their existence. They will inevitably gently caress up again and again until some ideal (and probably impossible) mode of operation for them is discovered and employed.

Yeah I imagined that would be the case. Suntola doesn't appeal to people with no understanding of physics but to people who understand a little and see his work as neat, simple and appealing to common sense. The problem is that physics is none of those things.

Saying that universities are religious organisations is just babble. They aren't religious oragnisations since they haven't been defined as religious organisations and that's pretty much it. Of course they have their own customs and most people try not to rock the boat. That said, you're equating universities with global scientific community which is wrong. Also you seem to be saying that there is some weird global effort to bury the truth (Suntola's work) because there is friction inside university faculties.

Suntola has been peddling his Dynamic Universe Theory for 25 years, appears semi-regularily on radio and TV, holds lectures about it and has written a book about it which has been published in English as well. It's all out there and no-one reputable is biting. It's not because of some grand conspiracy or jealous physicsists. It's because his theory has massive holes in it and gives no new information. There's nothing new you can do with it. It's not interesting.

That's because it's largerly reverse-engineered. He arrives largely to the same conclusions as accepted theories, but to get there he has to change stuff, like the speed of light in a vacuum not being a constant. That also should mess with other stuff like Schwarzschild radius and gravitational waves. And here's the interesting bit, light bends due to gravity! According to Suntola the speed of light isn't constant because it's tied with the expansion of 4th (physical) dimension. Gravitational waves are handled the same way as in general relativity and are not affected by the 4th dimension. That's just silly.

Suntola's theory does away with dark matter and energy while introducing many other complications and not arriving in anything new. Yet you view his theory more credible than current understanding of general relativity while ignoring all the issues with the theory and having to imagine some global conspiracy to keep his mouth shut (even though he is very very loud). Why? Because he makes all that difficult physics stuff seem all neat and simple? That's some serious kaiken maailman dosentit poo poo right there.
Please read up on theory of relativity and try reading Suntola's stuff or reviews of it after you know about the subject and you'll see why it's not given a lot of thought. Kari Enqvist's Johdatus suhteellisuusteoriaan is a good summary of a university course about the theory of relativity.

There are huge sections of theoretical physics we know to be wrong and yet are studied and regularly published in proper journals, like N=4 super Yang-Mills. That is because they contribute something new to the field of theoretical physics, while still being wrong. DU could potentially be entirely wrong but still contribute useful mathematical tools if it were internally consistent, which seems to be the major criticism.

He's not. I glanced through the first paper, where he seems to be fitting his model to a supernova dataset, showing that the fit is pretty good but not as good as the standard model, and the claiming that the SM fit gets worse if you also fit it simultaneously to some cosmic microwave data. Since he never even attempts to fit his own model to that microwave data, the comparison is pointless, and I'm not surprised he does not attract a large academic readership.


SnowblindFatal posted:

Another problem with the theory of general relativity is that the speed of light is just a magic number with no basis on anything.
Theories having parameters is not a problem. His theory has some too.

SnowblindFatal posted:

I think it is most reasonable to expect that the organisations which (ideally) form the whole basis to our world views to acknowledge and assess competing models, especially when they are so promising. Otherwise, how are they different from how the pope reacted to Galileo?
It seems to me his model was briefly assessed and found not promising. Now he wants it assesses again, and again, and again until the reception changes, and so do hundreds of others. Nobody has the time for that.

I can't really blame her for losing her temper with the disingenuous cheapshots kok/ps are throwing when they can't think of actual criticisms. The government is too lenient with the restrictions until they're suddenly too tough, they're giving out muddled information without a clear central message until they're suddenly too one-sided and stamping out dissenting voices, etc. (Like what the hell is Orpo's point even, that the gov should air out their new linjaukses in a täysi-istunto first to let every professional väärinymmärtäjä get their competing truths out in the press before the actual official instructions?)
