Something real, something that does it as we see it, something testable here terrestrially.
I'd have to really agree with this empirical approach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOI-X215A8Y
I find this statement very hard to disagree with.

How bout you Craig? do you find saftey and comfort in these dark-ages? |
I read the statement. I get the funding issue.
Amateurs like us, probably can't change that situation. Funding justification is a difficult process. It is a professional scientists'/political interface issue. Amateur Scientists don't manage that process.
At the end of the day however, there have to be models (& tangible progress on them), to obtain funding. Mainstream science has achieved this for hundreds of years - they must've gotten them right for that funding to continue. (Eg: Plasma research).
Finding 'safety' ?
In 'Astro Science', I don't think I look to any particular theory to maintain an even keel.
I don't always believe what my eyes see. I resonate with mainstream science because its been proven to lead towards a future and it resists the illusions created by the mind.
The 'darkness' is self-correcting - it'll go away, courtesy of the process which created it.
Forcing it won't make it so.
Cheers
