So called crackpot ideas that forum members present from time to time on this and other forums are indications of intellectual dissatisfaction with current state of theoretical science. Current scientific paradigm is a biggest obstacle to progress in our understanding of the Universe we live in. Although it’s nothing new. Many times in the history any kind of progress has been stopped because of reputation of one great man. This is not fault of those exceptional thinkers (in our times of Einstein) but of those scientists who blindly follow the teachings that were reverent long time ago with the technology that was available at that time. Saying that I do not take anything from the genius of those men. They were humanity greatest thinkers using the technology and information’s that was available in their time. Our progress to (possible) ultimate knowledge is like never ending spiral star case. The landings are the times of paradigm change.
In other tread Carl (renormalised) talks about our current space exploration propulsion being seven hundred years old firework technology. True – but do you thing that this is going to change with current science paradigm?
There are mathematicians in this forum. Can someone please calculate probability of GR and SR being focal point of theoretical physics in the year 2500, related to the rise and the fall of the scientific theories in last 3000 years?
Every age of our civilisation has though that they reached pinnacle of knowledge and have answer for everything - and has been always proven wrong. Any good reason why our age is an exception?
In the end – 42 is just as good answer as any.
