TRUE UFO ALIEN ABDUCTION ACCOUNTS FROM WITNESSES SCARY

Paranormal and psychic happenings 8 True Alien Abduction Stories That’ll Make You F*cking Terrified Of UFOs By Jacob Geers, April 2nd 2016 Comment Flag http://tcat.tc/1nOPrzo 1. CLAYTON & DONNA LEE ABDUCTION Youtube / SiriusStarSystem Youtube / SiriusStarSystem A Texas-based husband and wife claim to have been abducted by aliens multiple times, including once where a fetus was stolen from Donna by the alien trespassers. Clayton claims that he was a child visiting a park the very first time he was abducted, and that he feels the aliens might be studying him throughout his life. “I remember just floating up higher,” Donna Lee recounted about her experience, “And, all that was around were stars and blackness. And then, I blacked out.” The couple have had their memories of this event awakened by a local psychologist, who ironically, doesn’t actually believe in aliens herself. They have both drawn sketches of the aliens, and appeared on multiple media outlets to talk about their story, including this one on the O’Reilly Factor: O’REILLY: All right. And you were abducted multiple amounts of times? D. LEE: Yes, yes. O’REILLY: Did you ever talk to the abductees? I mean, did they tell you where they were from or anything? D. LEE: No, that I don’t have any remembering of at all, having the conversation, no. O’REILLY: So they just swept you away somewhere? Where’d they put you? D. LEE: Different places, different times. I’ve had memories of being on what I consider the ship, because I know it was someplace other than any place I’d ever visited before. O’REILLY: So you were in some kind of — you were in some kind of vehicle? D. LEE: Yes. It was a vehicle, a room. It was very cold, metal. A lot of metal. A lot of metal. O’REILLY: Did you see — did you see the aliens? D. LEE: Yes. O’REILLY: What do they look like? D. LEE: What I saw on that particular visit, they were tall, slender, blond. Looked human, but not human, not quite human. O’REILLY: All right. D. LEE: They didn’t really use their voices to talk. The couple say they remain worried about being abducted against almost daily, but that they want to “live their lives” regardless. 2. THE GUNDIAH MACKAY ALIEN ABDUCTION In a chilling story that three different people were involved in, a 22-year-old named Amy was abducted right out the window of her lounge room by some sort of flying craft. Amy’s husband Keith had already gone to bed, while her friend Petra stayed up to read in another room. Petra was abruptly disrupted by a blinding light coming from the lounge room, and the sound of shattering glass. The rectangular beam of light was shining into the room, and according to Petra, she saw Amy being pulled out of the window by the light, still apparently asleep. Keith then woke up, and both he and Petra searched the house and surrounding area for Amy, who was nowhere to be seen. Keith eventually called the police. Amy eventually turned up miles away, with strange marks on her inner thigh, and bizarrely extensive body hair growth. 3. RUSSIAN MILLIONAIRE POLITICIAN TAKEN BY ALIENS? Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the former President of the only Buddhist political state, avidly claims that he was once kidnapped by creatures not of this world. He says they abducted him off his apartment balcony, and took him to their spaceship: Yeah! yeah, yeah, yeah I was taken from my apartment in Moscow to this spaceship! And we went to some star. After that I asked “Please bring me back” because the next day I should be back in Kalmykia! They said oh no problem Kirsan, you have time. When pressed for details of the aliens themselves, Ilyumzhinov says: They are people like us. They have the same mind, the same vision. I talked with them. I understand that we are not alone in the whole world. We are not unique. The ship was absolutely enormous. One of its chambers was the size of a large football pitch. We landed on one of the planets and picked up some piece of equipment. They told me everything in detail. Allegedly, while Ilyumzhinov was abducted, his staff came looking for him and was unable to locate him until he inexplicably appeared in his suite hours later. 4. THE ROBERT TAYLOR INCIDENT Robert Taylor was a forestry worker in Livingston, Scotland. He was heading to work in the woods in 1979 when he turned a corner, and saw a UFO parked in a field. All at once, two small spheres came from the object. They made a sound as their spikes moved over the earth. They came to a stop beside him, grabbing his trousers, and began to drag him back to the UFO. The spiked objects were very similar to the UFO, only smaller. Taylor could smell a strong, sickening odor. He lost consciousness. When he regained consciousness, the spheres were gone, but his red setter was still there. The dog was panicky, running around and barking. Taylor tried to calm him down, but found that his voice was gone. He was very weak, and when he tried to stand, he couldn’t. He crawled for a time until he was able to stand again. He finally made it back to his pick-up truck and tried to radio his work headquarters via his two-way, but still could not speak. Attempting to drive his truck back home, he got stuck in the mud, so he started a long walk of about a mile back to his house. He arrived at 11:45 AM. (Source) His wife phoned the police once he got home, remarking that he “looked terrible.” The police began an investigation, having no true explanation for the bizarre tracks left at the scene of the UFO. No aircraft — civilian or military — was scheduled to be in the area according to comprehensive flight logs. 5. FORESTRY WORKER GOES MIA FOR FIVE DAYS — WHERE WAS HE?? Travis Walton was one of seven men working in a forestry team in Snowflake, Arizona. When heading home from work one night, the team spied a blindingly bright light. Thinking it was a crashed plane, they drove over to the craft. What they saw, however, did not look like any plane: Youtube / UFOCaseReview Youtube / UFOCaseReview Walton jumped out of the truck to get closer to the craft. Suddenly, a bright light shot from the UFO and sent Walton floating into the UFO. The remaining six crew members, panicked, and drove away from the scene to get help. About 7:30 p.m., one of the crew members called the police. Deputy Sheriff Chuck Ellison answered the telephone; The crew member initially reported only that one of a logging crew was missing. Ellison then met the crew at a shopping center. They related the tale to him — all the men distraught, two of them in tears — and though he was somewhat skeptical of the fantastic account, Ellison would later reflect “that if they were acting, they were awfully good at it.” (Source) After an initial scan of the area showed no evidence of an “UFO” the police began to suspect the men were using the story to coverup the fact that they simply murdered Walton. However, over the next few days, all six loggers were subjected to intense interrogations and polygraphs, and their story seemed to hold up. That’s when Walton suddenly reappeared. Thinking he had only been gone for a few hours, Walton retold parts of the story he could. Youtube / UFOCaseReview Youtube / UFOCaseReview He said he was interrogated by three creatures with bald heads and huge eyes. He apparently encountered many different creatures on the craft, who performed experiments on him. Many people were skeptical of the story, but Walton and all the other loggers maintain their stories. 6. THE MANHATTAN ABDUCTION Linda Napolitano (originally aliased as Linda Cortile) triggered one of the most well-documented UFO abduction cases when she claimed to have been kidnapped out the window of her Manhattan apartment building by a flying saucer. Linda describes her time with the aliens: “I’m standing up on nothing. And they take me out all the way up, way above the building. Ooh, I hope I don’t fall. The UFO opens up almost like a clam and then I’m inside. I see benches similar to regular benches. And they’re bringing me down a hallway. Doors open like sliding doors. Inside are all these lights and buttons and a big long table. I don’t want to get up on that table. They get me on the table anyway. They start saying things to me and I’m yelling. I can still yell. One of them says something that sounds like {Nobbyegg}. I think they were trying to tell me to be quiet because he put his hand over my mouth.” Her abduction story has been corroborated by two United Nations bodyguards, who claim to have seen exactly the scene that Linda describes. “There was an oval-shaped object hovering over the top of the apartment building two or three blocks up from where we sat. We didn’t know where it came from. It happened too fast. Its lights turned from a bright reddish orange to a whitish blue coming out of the bottom. Green lights rotated round the edge of the saucer. A little girl or woman wearing a white gown sailed out of the window in a fetal position – and then stood in mid-air in this beam of light. I could see three of the ugliest creatures I ever saw. I don’t know what they were. They weren’t human. Their heads were out of proportion, very large heads with no hair. Those buggers were escorting her into the craft. My partner screamed, ‘We have got to get them.’ We tried to get out of the car but couldn’t. After the woman was escorted in, the oval turned reddish orange again and whisked off.” Years later in 2001, this photo would taken taken at Linda’s apartment. The aliens might have been visiting to check on her: Yancy Spence via UFO Casebook Yancy Spence via UFO Casebook Both bodyguards would later go on to suffer severe psychological maladies after seeing what they did that night. Linda still maintains her story to this day. 7. REAL LIFE “MEN IN BLACK” Top5 Top5 Okay, not quite an abduction, but a bizarre visitation of another kind. Robert Richardson was supposedly driving through Toledo, Ohio when he drove into a strange object, which he claimed vanished the minute that he stepped out to inspect it. Remaining next to his tire, however, was a shard of metal that appeared to have been apart of the mysterious object. Richardson took the metal and continued his drive home. Three days later, two men in jet black suits and black sunglasses knocked on Richardson’s door. They immediately demanded the piece of metal. Richardson told them that he had it sent off to a lab for analysis. They ordered him to get it back, saying that his wife would be in grave peril if he didn’t. Richardson ordered them to leave, and never saw them again. 8. BARNEY AND BETTY HILL ABDUCTION Perhaps one of the best known cases in UFO lore, Barney and Better Hill were allegedly abducted by aliens in 1961. It all started when they were driving back home from a vacation in Canada, and they saw something they could not explain: At about a quarter past 10:00 PM, three miles south of the city of Lancaster, Barney noticed what appeared to be a bright star, or planet, which seemed to move erratically. Barney pointed this out to Betty, and they both began to keep track of the object. The couple began to believe that they were watching a plane appear and disappear, as the movement of their vehicle caused the trees to come and go in obstructing their view. Later, Barney would state that he tried to convince himself that the object was a plane, but that Betty thought it to be something else – an unidentified craft of some kind. As the two continued to the Flume, just north of North Woodstock, the object appeared to move in an odd way. As they reached Indian Head, Barney actually stopped the car to have a look at the object with his binoculars. He saw multi-colored lights, and rows of windows on a flat-shaped object, which now seemed to be moving toward him. As the object moved to within a hundred feet of him, he could see occupants inside. Frightened, he ran back to his car where Betty waited. They climbed inside and sped away. Soon, two hours of their lives would vanish into oblivion. After resuming their journey home, they were not able to see the strange craft anymore. Oddly though, they heard a beeping sound. They then heard the beeping a second time, noticing that they were suddenly thirty-five miles farther down the road than a minute or two ago. They were now in Ashla. (Source) Once they got back home, however, the strange occurrences didn’t stop. Betty forcefully insisted that their luggage be kept near the back door, their dress shoes were scuffed and scrapped, and both of their watches were broken — never to work again. But it wasn’t over yet. Betty began having vivid dreams about the craft and strange people in it. In the dreams, Betty, Barney, and the men walked up a ramp into a disc-shaped craft of metallic appearance. Once inside, Barney and Betty were separated. She protested, and was told by a man she called “the leader” that if she and Barney were examined together, it would take much longer to conduct the exams. She and Barney were then taken to separate rooms. Betty then dreamt that a new man, similar to the others, entered to conduct her exam with the leader. Betty called this new man “the examiner” and said he had a pleasant, calm manner. Though the leader and the examiner spoke to her in English, the examiner’s command of the language seemed imperfect and she had difficulty understanding him. (Source) According to Betty, she was then subjected to an examination. Afterward, she spoke to “the leader.” The Leader told Betty that she could keep a book that she found, but later insisted that he take it back, saying that “the others” wanted to wipe her mind completely. Betty told the Leader that no matter what he did, she would remember the events. And I guess she did. TC mark Jacob Geers Jacob Geers Jacob has written things @ Thought Catalog.

REAL UFO ALIENS ARE MAKING PEOPLE FAT BY SPRAYING FOOD

Paranormal and psychic happenings Search Search THE WORLD'S ONLY RELIABLE NEWS Weekly World NewsOPINIONSUBMITSHOPREPRINTSSUBSCRIBEHEADLINESMUTANTSCELEBSPOLITICSALIENS Submit your photo to Weekly World News ALIENS FATTENING UP AMERICANS By Dallas Commagreens on September 9, 2008 1 Votes And they’re finally ripe for slaughter! As if overweight Americans didn’t have enough to worry about with people making fun of them all the time, a captured space alien has told the FBI that “tubbos we’ve fattened up with junk food are finally ripe for the slaughter.” And to make sure agents understood exactly what he was talking about, the almond-eyed bulb-head went on to say, “That’s right, chief. We’re going to eat them.” As wild as the creature’s claims might sound, the FBI has reason to believe that he is telling the truth. Sources say that when discovered in the kitchen of a fast-food restaurant in Birmingham, Alabama, that had closed for the night, the extraterrestrial was spraying already calorie-rich burgers, fries and fish sandwiches with a sticky brown mist that has since been identified as a super-concentrated extract of animal and human fats. And while searching the alien’s silver-foil fanny pack for laser weapons, communications devices and identification, they found several vials of a strange, sugar-like substance that according to a laboratory analysis, when consumed by humans, is almost instantly converted to flab. Under intense questioning, the extraterrestrial reportedly boasted that “thousands of my comrades” have been lacing junk foods with the strange liquids “for 20 of your Earth years. Now we will reap the rewards in the harvest of your obese ones, who by anyone’s reckoning, make for good eatin’.” “The threat is real,” FBI chief Robert Mueller was warned in an alarming internal memo that was leaked to reporters in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 4. “Their intention is to abduct, slaughter and eat overweight Americans, and not just a few here and there — we’re talking about millions of them. “An extraterrestrial invasion, herding process and mass abduction seem imminent, and the question is: Can we stop it?” The FBI will neither confirm nor deny the report. The President, meanwhile, is said to have asked for “a full intelligence assessment of the threat” to national security before he decides just how to break the news to American citizens, 147 million of which are grossly overweight and would appear to be at risk. “If somebody thinks he’s going to wind up on a space alien’s dinner table with an apple in his mouth he’s going to do whatever it takes to keep that from happening, and that includes losing weight,” fumes Meg Kennedy, co-founder of the San Francisco-based fat-pride group, Big Beautiful Women and Men of America. “If extraterrestrials were targeting skinny people, I’ll guarantee you there would be a national alert. “It just goes to show that people of size always get the short end of the stick.” Share this: More COMMENTS (6) CATEGORIES: ALIENS, MUTANTS TAGS: ALIEN, ALIENS, CONSPIRACY, FAST FOOD, FOOD, OVERWEIGHT You Might Also Like 22 Photos of Donald Trump That Will Change Your Mind 22 Photos of Donald Trump That Will Change Your Mind Camberwell Gran Shocks Doctors: Forget Botox, Do This Once Daily Camberwell Gran Shocks Doctors: Forget Botox, Do This Once Daily Embarrassing Moments Captured By Cameras Embarrassing Moments Captured By Cameras Haunted House Adventure Haunted House Adventure What Is Net Neutrality and Why Are People Freaking Out?

By JON AUSTIN 10:02, Fri, Aug 14, 2015 | UPDATED: 12:37, Fri, Aug 14, 2015 62 Edgar Mitchell during his time as a Nasa astronautNasa Edgar Mitchell during his time as a Nasa astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who was the sixth man on the Moon, claims US military chiefs saw alien crafts observing during their nuclear weapons tests in the New Mexico White Sands deserts in July 1945. The astronaut turned die-hard alien believer, who walked on the Moon during the 1971 Apollo 14 mission, has regularly spoken of his believe that extraterrestrials (ETs) visit Earth, and in particular during the 1947 Roswell incident. He even claimed they had shot down test nuclear missiles to prevent an all out nuclear battle between the US and Russia. He said: "They wanted to know about our military capabilities. "My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth. "Other officers from bases on the Pacific coast told me their missiles were frequently shot down by alien spacecraft." Mr Mitchell, 84, claims the purpose of the mission was to keep a check on our weapons to ensure it could not threaten the wider universe. He added that alien technology was so much more advanced than ours we would be doomed if they turned hostile. Mr Mitchell has previously claimed aliens look just like the traditional "little grey men" image they have often been shown as in mock-up pictures, and that the truth about Roswell would soon come out.

Nasa is not involved in any sort of cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe. "Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue." Nick Pope, who investigated a string of "UFO sightings" for the British Ministry of Defence (MoD), until 2009 when it stopped the project, is not convinced by Mr Mitchell's latest remarks. He said: "Even where Mitchell's sources are genuine, how do we know they have access to classified information about UFOs? "Ironically, governments have sometimes secretly promoted belief in UFOs, because if someone sees a secret prototype aircraft or drone, it's much better to have it reported as a flying saucer than recognised for what it is. "None of this is to say that there haven't been some genuinely fascinating and unexplained UFO sightings around nuclear facilities and military bases, but just because a UFO sighting is unexplained, it doesn't follow that it's extraterrestrial."

It is known that there could be up to 40 billion Earth-sized planets, and two billion planets overall which are potentially capable of supporting life. ReplyShare1 reply+1 871 days ago Steveg Sure, you're probably right. I wouldn't dispute the idea that the universe might play host to a great many planets with civilisations on them that are advanced to varying degrees. But we certainly haven't come into contact with any of them yet and, considering the mind-boggling distances involved, we most likely never will. Which may or may not be a good thing, who knows? In any case, I'm fairly confident that if there was an alien race out there who were sophisticated enough to reach our planet or observe our activities by any other means they would surely be savvy enough to prevent us knowing about it. It is difficult to imagine them turning up in the middle of the night with all the lights blazing, for example, which is one reason why most of us are somewhat sceptical of those who claim to have spotted a UFO. That's just my take on it, anyway. No doubt others might disagree. ReplyShare0 876 days ago Paul K can he ask the Aliens if they will help get rid of ISIS.

GIANT REAL UFO 26 MILES LONG IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM

Paranormal and psychic happeningsHome Astronomy & Space Astronomy December 11, 2015 Report of discovery of large object in far outer edges of solar system incites skeptical reactions December 11, 2015 by Bob Yirka, Phys.org report ALMA ALMA prototype-antennas at the ALMA test facility. Credit: ESO (Phys.org)—Two separate teams of researchers (one from Mexico, the other Sweden), have incited skepticism among the astronomy community by posting papers on the preprint server arXiv each describing a different large object they observed in the outer edges of the solar system. Both teams made their observations after reviewing data from ALMA—a cluster of radio dishes in the Chilean mountains. One of the objects was found to be near W Aquilae in the night sky—the other adjacent to Alpha Centauri . Both groups report being skeptical at first regarding a faint glow, but monitored what they had seen nonetheless—to their surprise they found that the objects appeared to move relative to the stars behind them, which suggested they might be relatively close and that they might be orbiting the sun. Neither group was able to gain much evidence regarding the properties of the objects they had spied, because both of them were only able to make two observations, but both teams suggest there was enough data to allow for ruling out the object being an ordinary star. The Swedish team nick-named the object they observed Gna, after a Nordic God known for its swiftness, and have told the press they had no intention of suggesting they had found the mythical Planet X which supposedly lies somewhere beyond Pluto. Instead they suggest it might be a large asteroid. The team from Mexico went a little further suggesting that the object they observed might possibly turn out to be a brown dwarf. There is also the possibility, as some astronomers who have read the two papers suggest, that either or both of the objects are merely illusions, random blips or noise that for a moment or two appeared to take the shape of a very far away object. Some have even tweeted their opinions, insinuating that jumping on the Planet X bandwagon would be sheer folly. Despite the skepticism, it is likely that other research groups will be training their instruments on the piece of sky where the objects were possibly seen, to prove or disprove their existence and to put a stop to the conjecture. Both of the teams involved have voiced their support of such efforts, noting that they would like an explanation for what they observed.

Let's hope that the trajectory is not determined to be incoming. Captain Stumpy4 / 5 (37) Dec 11, 2015 many aspects of this are a bit troubling from an electrical cosmology view @hannes there is no "electrical cosmology" view... there is astrophysics/cosmology and there is pseudoscience "electrical cosmology" is a belief that is not based upon rigorous empirical evidence nor is it supported by the strict protocol of the scientific method, thus it is a pseudoscience and as a pseudoscience, it is then a BELIEF system more like a religion or a cult to be considered science at all, it must (MUST) adhere to the scientific method. your eu does NOT do this and has been repeatedly debunked/falsified. it has No predictability and (i could go on, but why bother? delusional fanatics ignore the obvious for the sake of protecting their personal worldview or beliefs because admission it is fake undermines their ego, reality and proves them to be various negative things they don't wish to address) HannesAlfven1.4 / 5 (18) Dec 11, 2015 And yet, the 5% baryonic universe (or whatever the number is these days ...) can hardly inspire confidence. So, where exactly does your confidence originate? hemitite1.7 / 5 (6) Dec 11, 2015 If they're both equipment artifacts, and they were seen to be "moving" in a second look at those parts of the sky, then there may be some serious bugs in that ALMA system. This might call into question other research using this telescope. Captain Stumpy3.7 / 5 (21) Dec 11, 2015 So, where exactly does your confidence originate? @h_a with the evidence, especially that which can be validated therefore, by definition, your eu is off the table because of it's inability to validate itself, make predictions, functionally explain what is observed, and more importantly, adhere to the scientific method with strict rigorous protocols And yet, the 5% baryonic universe (or whatever the number is these days ...) can hardly inspire confidence perhaps you should try this link: http://ocw.mit.ed...ophysics before you continue to make yourself look horrible due to your acceptance of delusion and your failure to use your logical brain, you should research your subject thoroughly (so far, you've researched the eu... problem is, you failed to research your actual physics- hence the link) this is your personal cognitive bias and problem, NOT (repeat NOT) the worlds astrophysicists Steelwolf2.2 / 5 (22) Dec 11, 2015 Actually Stump, what there is the "Paid For 'Mainstream Science' according to preconceived notions because that is what the grants paid for" and there is Study Based on Empirical Data that shows that there is a very active electromagnetic component to any and all galaxies, and that the overall mass of the clouds of ionized particles can create a much larger pull, over longer distances, than gravity does. It is not "Pseudoscience" it is an open minded interpretation of observed and repeatably observable effects and configurations that no other explanation fits. It does not throw out the sciences of gravitational attraction, but instead ADDS to the repertoire of tools available. You keep using strawman, outdated portions of the theory and call the whole thing faulty, that would be like calling the entire Standard Model a bunch of hooey based on the fact that it is not all filled out yet. Real scientists have the humility to change their minds when facts dont meet their theories. Steelwolf1.9 / 5 (17) Dec 11, 2015 More and more of the studies done, especially those showing the farther galaxies and the construction of superstructures in the universe, huge galactic clusters with several million degree plasmas surrounding them, major jets of plasma from Black holes, and this is ALL very rigorously, scientific method, studied by Universities under proper, rigorous conditions, often overseen by doctorates, and they keep finding things that keep on showing, to a higher and higher degree, that magnetics, plasmas and huge electrical potential flow between galaxies and galactic clusters is also observed. The Studies have been posted (Published) here, much is a matter of interpretation, and Stump is directly going against what many of the doctorate study teams at these universities are finding out. There is a vast magnetic web connecting galaxies along these huge filaments, observed magnetic fields, and those fields CANNOT occur without electrical flow Somewhere, which leaves plasmas as conductors. tear884.3 / 5 (7) Dec 11, 2015 It's Nibiru! Run away, run away! Uh-oh - nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! I hope further observations do confirm the existence of a few large bodies relatively close. It would make the universe a little bit more interesting. As long as they don't come into the inner solar system. That would be much too interesting. Steelwolf2.1 / 5 (15) Dec 11, 2015 So trying to pontificate on old theories that are not working out so well (straight dark matter ideas) as opposed to the fact that there are large amounts of plasma between galaxies, and that the magnetic dynamo effect has a lot more to do with the supposed missing mass: it does not have to be mass, just some form of attraction that has been overlooked. These ideas from when space was thought to be empty. Our Voyager Probes have shown that is not true, with solar plasma being detected even as far out as they are now, and the interstellar medium appears to be a plasma as well, from galactic sources. We know there are huge bubbles above and below the disc of our galaxy with millions of degrees plasma that shines in the gamma/radio spectrum, and you seem to think this is not going to have an effect on how much mass and attraction thus created through the effects of electromagnetism. You are stuck on dearly held notions, so, there are none so blind as those who REFUSE to See. Captain Stumpy3.8 / 5 (17) Dec 11, 2015 what there is the "Paid For 'Mainstream Science' according to preconceived notions because that is what the grants paid for" @steel conspiracist ideation without evidence is just delusion It is not "Pseudoscience" it is an open minded interpretation it is also NOT SCIENCE science is about evidence, not interpretations- interpretations are subjective to the individual, which is the reason the scientific method takes great pains to remove bias from the study and results (and testing, and... you get the point) You keep using strawman, outdated portions of the theory and call the whole thing faulty i keep using the same arguments that i keep getting. just recently cantdrive pontificated about all the points i keep making, from moon craters to the shoemaker-levy9 breakup in Jupiter that is making a point, not using a strawman http://www.auburn...ion.html Steelwolf1.6 / 5 (14) Dec 11, 2015 A Brown Dwarf, the famed "Nibiru" (even though that was apparently the other star that came through some 77K years ago) could well be encountered in the interstellar medium. There has been some question, for some time, if we did not have some massive planet that has been kicking comets into the inner system by disturbing their otherwise complacent orbits. I am not sure if I adhere to that idea, but it is a possibility that I wont throw out, out of hand. Just another data point to add. There May be big objects that are so dim/cold that we dont see them in our own solar system, so, how many of these are there out there in the galactic disc? Is it enough mass to offset the so called 'missing mass'? So much we dont know for anybody to go and say that they have THE definitive answer and all others are Pseudoscience. So, Stumpers, I would suggest you lay back for a while and do some Modern Study, with Modern Data, and re-run the problem again. Even you might be surprised! Captain Stumpy3.8 / 5 (17) Dec 11, 2015 @steel cont'd Real scientists have the humility to change their minds when facts dont meet their theories and i follow the EVIDENCE, not the interpretations this is one major point of the scientific method that pseudoscience gets wrong every time... they assume that simply making sh*t up about the evidence justifies their belief in said interpretation... that doesn't work. sorry Stump is directly going against what many of the doctorate study teams at these universities are finding out no, i am not i don't go against the evidence. period but you are not giving evidence... you are giving your INTERPRETATIONS of the evidence big difference the fact that there are large amounts of plasma between galaxies where have i ever disputed the facts or the fact that there is plasma in space? please, show me that. thanks the magnetic dynamo effect has a lot more to do with...missing mass where are your peer reviewed links supporting your belief/interpretations? Captain Stumpy4.1 / 5 (17) Dec 11, 2015 @Steel cont'd A Brown Dwarf, the famed "Nibiru" (even though that was apparently the other star that came through some 77K years ago) could well be encountered in the interstellar medium making sh*t up again? not all brown dwarves are "nibiru", nor can you justify your belief that a star came thru 77K years ago... this is what i've been talking about NOT SCIENCE I am not sure if I adhere to that idea, but it is a possibility that I wont throw out this is where you and i differ... i am open to the EVIDENCE i don't have problems with possibilities or ideas... but my acceptance of what IS must be evidence based, not speculative nor "interpreted".... that is for religions or philosophy, not the scientific method for anybody to go and say that they have THE definitive answer and all others are Pseudoscience and again... perhaps you should learn to read? i don't advocate or conjecture that i have THE answer never have but i also don't get suckered by BS Steelwolf1.8 / 5 (15) Dec 11, 2015 Stumpy sounds like the Vatican concerning Galileo, and eventually the Vatican apologized as being wrong. I am not going to hold my breath, but he is obviously stumping for someone else, someone who has a monetary interest in the Dark Matter/Energy theories and since his job depends on him not understanding the Electromagnetic Nature of our Universe, he will Stump against it as hard as he possibly can. Perhaps it is the fact that an electric universe makes star travel so much easier because it is a matter of manipulating electromagnetic fields (the latest ideas to warp space around the craft are electromagnetic in nature) becomes so much easier and easier to control. It also means that there are forms of energy that we are not harnessing right now that could get us off from carbon fuel tech, based on electromagnetics and plasmas. LENR is a reality and so many things that monied interests have kept hidden and used folks like stump to deride anyone with the Right science showing. Captain Stumpy3.9 / 5 (14) Dec 11, 2015 one last point to steelwolf about this I would suggest you lay back for a while and do some Modern Study, with Modern Data, and re-run the problem again. when i first started here, i asked a LOT of questions want to know what one of the most common answers was? (from the already educated physicists and astro's, Dr's and more) DO THE RESEARCH ORIGINAL SOURCES FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE i was sent this link to use: http://ocw.mit.ed...ophysics i used it, i STILL use it i chose to follow the evidence you can too i suggest you also " lay back for a while and do some Modern Study, with Modern Data, and re-run the problem again. Even you might be surprised! " Steelwolf1.8 / 5 (16) Dec 11, 2015 Stump I and others have given you lists of articles and papers, many of the published here at Phys.Org and they keep coming out. Study some of the phonon, skyrmion, and other quasiparticle interactions that are going on and compare them to cosmology that we can see happening above us. They are actually fractal iterations of one another at quantum and cosmic scales. In the chemical and normal physical world, electrical valence is what actually does more than any other force at that level, how do you expect that there will be a greater force at higher larger scales? You deriding those who have a better grasp of REALITY than you is scary, I am sure, but you keep going against the very basic principles of science in going for the easiest, most likely with supporting evidence and experimentation, and if the facts come out in favor of ideas contrary to your own, then YOU need to change. You can have your own opinion, but not your own facts. And right now the facts outweigh you! Steelwolf1.8 / 5 (16) Dec 11, 2015 And note, as I said, these elecromagnetic phenomenon just add to the gravitational and other things we have seen. It is just a fact that there were some big egos bruised, and there since then there has also been a disinformation program concerning the nature of space and the ease of which we can operate in it. Those of us advancing the electric nature of the universe are not saying gravity and all does not have it's place, and there are some from 'mainstream science' who have specifically pretended to be EU enthusiasts and presented fallacious papers in order to try to get the whole notion thrown out. It mostly just ruined their careers. The FACT that we have Quasars that line up over millions of light years, within the Superstructure of this Universe is just one of the many Proofs of this concept that have been published here at Phys.Org. that show there HAS to be an electric flow, thus the magnetic fields at a super galactic scale. I have the DATA on my side to your opinions. Captain Stumpy4.1 / 5 (13) Dec 11, 2015 I...given you lists of articles...papers @steel just FYI - if it isn't to an EDU site/reputable journal, i don't open them (original sources are important to research, so i don't ever visit pseudoscience sites or even most articles) You deriding those who have a better grasp of REALITY than you is scary so, you're going to ignore the actual physics for your belief, but you expect me to study your beliefs for you, and then you state i am ignoring those who have a better grasp b/c i require them to provide evidence they don't have for a belief they can't justify or support? how is that logical? but you keep going against the very basic principles of science in going for the easiest, most likely stopped there i don't care about easiest OR most likely, unless it has empirical evidence and validation this is where you keep getting confused (with me and reality) i don't CARE about the subject, only that it can be proven/validated Captain Stumpy4.3 / 5 (17) Dec 11, 2015 these elecromagnetic phenomenon just add to the gravitational and other things we have seen @steel i don't care if it is provable, nor do i care about "specifically" electrical phenomena in addition to gravity only the evidence proving it to be real. period this is STILL where you seem to be tripping up... i don't appeal to authority (a person, like hanes, or dr so-and-so)... this is irrelevant. the EVIDENCE is what is important and singular studies are a subject to be investigated, but that doesn't mean they're validated you keep ASSuming that i am ignoring your evidence - i don't i only ignore evidence you provide that links to pseudoscience or subjective material you give valid evidence, i am on the same page and i can be open to the information so putting "fact" in caps and then making a claim that is not substantiated by validated studies is NOT the way to convince me of anything nor is linking eu or pseudoscience sites EVIDENCE SOURCES it's important richardwenzel9874 / 5 (21) Dec 11, 2015 Captain Stumpy, whoever you are, I admire the fact that you take on the nut cases. It's something that really needs to be done, for the sake of exposing them for what they are. But the battle goes on and on. If they weren't idiots, or deranged, your comments, and those of others like you, would be effective. Unfortunately, they are idiots/deranged and all the rational arguments in the world will never penetrate. But don't stop. What you do needs to be done.

Would this object even be visible in the spectrum the JWST is sensitive to? baudrunner1.5 / 5 (8) Dec 11, 2015 This wonderful land has given us equal representation, therefore the 43% of you who actually believe that the world is really just 6,000 years old have been given their respective 43% in this article content. The fact is, UFO's exist because all they are *are* Unidentified Flying Objects, until they are identified, and until you can be sure of what they are, it's simply ignorant to believe that these things don't exist. To say so reveals one as just a narrow-minded bigot. So, until they can identify what that mystery object is, let's just call it Planet X, okay, and don't refute the existence of Planet X unless you can resolve the mystery of what it is beyond the shadow of a doubt. philstacy91.4 / 5 (11) Dec 11, 2015 Separate teams of researchers have incited skepticism by describing a large climate change in the outer edges of earth's future which might only be an illusion. andyd1 / 5 (3) Dec 11, 2015 One author is on both papers, so hardly separate or independent groups. djc424.1 / 5 (9) Dec 11, 2015 @captain Stumpy.

He took my concern for these observations and turned it into a pitch for his own worldview. My concern stems from the fact that people like Stumpy have put so much effort into dismissing interpretations of mythology that none of them would be aware of Dwardu Cardona's very lengthy and well-supported argument -- that currently spans four large texts and many thousand supporting references -- that mythology is actually the story of a stellar capture, as witnessed by man. I have no problem if people want to approach the subject skeptically. That's normal. The problem is when this skepticism is so over-the-top that it creates ignorance of basic details of the claim. This knee-jerk reaction to the catastrophist worldview has always been about protecting scientific theory from intrusion by maverick outsiders. HannesAlfven1.3 / 5 (12) Dec 11, 2015 That protection is exerted by imposing ignorance upon the public of these very detailed and nuanced interpretations of mythology. Let's suppose, for just a moment, that there was a confirmed brown dwarf body approaching the Sun. Conventional theory would insist upon its own analysis of the situation, and as has been the tradition to-date, it would predictably dismiss alternative predictions. There would be no effort to systematically study alternative scenarios which base upon alternative cosmologies. And yet, there is this wealth of interpretation which already exists on exactly what the last event was like for the survivors. All of that would be ignored -- obviously not in service to some sense that the astrophysical community are like stewards of this planet, but rather in service to their ideology. At the end of the day, their approach would predictably put all of humanity in more danger than it needs to be. Mimath2242.1 / 5 (7) Dec 11, 2015 Keep your eyes on the object chaps, wouldn't like it be something like one pf those apocalypse movies Ha! If it is real what's the chance it might be just passing through, that is, does it have to be in orbit around the Sun? Porgie1.6 / 5 (7) Dec 11, 2015 Its the Meglock for planet cah cah.

Steelwolf 1.5 /5 (8) 10 hours ago Stumpy sounds like the Vatican concerning Galileo The Vatican were protecting entrenched interests. What interest is he protecting? Logic? Galileo was a scientist. The poster is a deluded POS. You know, sometimes you dismiss people as ignorant assholes because they're ignorant assholes. Methinks I smell the stench of "American democracy" where any idiot with an opinion to yell is worthy of consideration purely by virtue of the fact that they steal oxygen, regardless of any merit or logic.

"Amateur scientist". That's someone that gets up every night and freezes their privates off going out to the telescope to monitor variable stars or do galaxy photography patrol for early detection of supernovas. Clue: If you never get out of your chair, you're not doing science. If you post contrary opinions based on that that are not falsifyable, then you're trolling. Trolling is not a science. jim_xanara3.1 / 5 (11) Dec 12, 2015 Steelwolf 1 /5 (8) 11 hours ago A Brown Dwarf, the famed "Nibiru" (even though that was apparently the other star that came through some 77K years ago) could well be encountered in the interstellar medium. There has been some question, for some time, if we did not have some massive planet that has been kicking comets into the inner system by disturbing their otherwise complacent orbits. There's been a question for some time, raised by young children, if everyone in China jumped at the same time if the earth would move. What is it about these tinfoil jobs that they a) have no appreciation of scale, and b) have no ability to appreciate their total lack of grasp of scale. lol So ironic that these people with simplistic, innacurate mental models that they use with such assuredness are the first ones to poo-poo any simulation. Hey, jerks. The worst computer simulation is a helluva lot better than your ignorant armchair assertions. AGreatWhopper3.2 / 5 (11) Dec 12, 2015 Ignorance thrives in a vacuum.

The cognitive condition that allows that to be a valid question needs to be in the DSM. Captain Stumpy4.2 / 5 (10) Dec 12, 2015 He took my concern... turned it into a pitch for his own worldview @H-A no, i just pointed out your logical fallacy of pushing anything that you believe is confirmation bias when you can't actually prove any of your own interpretations or opinions Dwardu Cardona's very lengthy and well-supported argument lets review just DC for a moment: he wrote for a journal that "published [diverse] articles on ...ancient history, catastrophism and mythology" - hardly a SCIENCE journal at all, and not constrained to the scientific method and this is proven by a comment on the wiki article on Kronos "Schadewald commented that "Though Velikovsky's views were rejected by scientists... " I stopped there for a reason: V's views were rejected for the SAME reasons eu is currently rejected: THERE IS NO EVIDENCE supporting them, just speculation and opinion http://www.veliko..._Cardona https://en.wikipe...ynthesis Captain Stumpy3.8 / 5 (10) Dec 12, 2015 @h-a cont'd velikovsky, like the eu, also have "true believers, as Schadewald commented, who continue to believe his speculations and interpretations even today... why? why does someone believe in something that cannot be proven and has no evidence? THIS is the $1,000 question I have no problem if people want to approach the subject skeptically except that you are proving this to be wrong every time you post with no evidence... perhaps it is because you are defending a religious belief and not a scientific one? https://www.psych...ttle-ego a scientific held belief would contain EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE that is validated or at least supported by the laws of physics... something the eu fails to do on many accounts Do they get some things correct? yes... the law of averages says they MUST get something correct now and again. even religion gets it correct now and again that does NOT make it science, though Captain Stumpy3.8 / 5 (10) Dec 12, 2015 @h-a cont'd This knee-jerk reaction to the catastrophist worldview has always been about protecting scientific theory from intrusion by maverick outsiders if you will note: my "knee jerk reaction" is to your dearth of evidence, not to your catastrophist worldview it would predictably dismiss alternative predictions. There would be no effort to systematically study alternative scenarios which base upon alternative cosmologies there would also be no study of prayer requests or faerie dance circles... because wasting money and time on the known delusional belief systems that are NOT capable of affecting the situation would be folly At the end of the day, their approach would predictably put all of humanity in more danger than it needs to be so, concentrating on PROVABLE effective science is wrong and we should accept religious beliefs as legitimate? next comet strike, do you want to pray to the spaghetti monster too? get the point yet? Captain Stumpy3.7 / 5 (9) Dec 12, 2015 @h-a last So, my point, repeated ad nauseum, is that it all boils down to evidence you claimed above I have no problem if people want to approach the subject skeptically but when you are requested to provide evidence, you are defensive when you produce non-standard evidence (AKA- pseudoscience) and are called on it there is a difference in what constitutes evidence in science and what pseudoscience considers evidence, and this is demonstrated in YOUR OWN POSTS you accept things like OPINION and CONJECTURE over evidence that is validated, as demonstrated by your support of eu against the laws of physics (like the electric sun model) this is not being open minded, it is being a religious fanatic PERIOD when researching anything, it is important to be able to separate the chaff from the wheat. this is done with evidence and the scientific method: not by accepting any random authority's opinion on any subject (like an engineer on astrophysics) jljenkins2 / 5 (12) Dec 12, 2015 Captain Stumpy, whoever you are, I admire the fact that you take on the nut cases. Don't. Look at this "story", on the site. http://phys.org/n...urs.html Look at the way it's written. As the comment from AGW says, this isn't a science site anymore. The pimps that bought it are using science as the bait to attract trolls and that traffic generates revenue for the greedy bastards. That doesn't work unless people argue with them. When you "take on" the trolls, you're actually helping the pimps screw over what was a good site and are satisfying their greed. As for motivation, lack of frustration tolerance isn't a virtue. He only argues with them because he can't help himself. It doesn't affect the trolls, it feeds the pimps. Just what are we supposed to admire about that? The commenter that used to be on here that left to beat the shit out of trolls is "taking on the trolls". Captain Stumpy4 / 5 (12) Dec 12, 2015 He only argues with them because he can't help himself. It doesn't affect the trolls, it feeds the pimps @jljenkins your comment is "TROLLING" by definition as it is designed to sow discord, its OT, and it has no scientific or evidenciary value but i am going to answer this once i try to avoid the intentional troll (like antigorical on AGW threads) because he is not there to actually learn anything OR talk science - he is there to only fight/argue/sow discord but when someone posts something that is directly in opposition to science or has no evidence, it is important to refute said claims (like dogbert, alchie, jvk, h-a, etc) hannes posted OPINION, not science, but couched it in terms that infer scientific credibility that is called pseudoscience you, however, are simply baiting for an argument (trolling) PS- there is a difference between pseudoscience and trolling, and i am studying pseudoscience posters my2cts4.1 / 5 (17) Dec 12, 2015 And yet, the 5% baryonic universe (or whatever the number is these days ...) Since you lack the data let me help: "According to the Planck mission team, and based on the standard model of cosmology, the total mass–energy of the known universe contains 4.9% ordinary (baryonic) matter, 26.8% dark matter and 68.3% dark energy." https://en.wikipe...k_matter can hardly inspire confidence. So, where exactly does your confidence originate? It is a viable theory AND you have no viable alternative. Prove it wrong and/or develop viable alternatives. And stop complaining. Benni1.7 / 5 (12) Dec 12, 2015 OK. After reading those posts, I am going to buy a handgun. These nut cases are a clear and present threat. They're running a candidate for POTUS. They're preventing action on climate change. They're endangering my child's health with their anti-vaxxer wisdumb. They're at the core of many violent racist groups. A lot of hate within the context of all that rhetoric. So you believe in the torture of those opposed to your beliefs with this quote: Enough is enough.

I'm surmising you probably have not in your quest for additional members of the 1 Star Vote Brigade. I noticed who the first 1 Star vote on me was over on the Skyscraper circuit design chip, yeah go take a look. I also answered Axemaster, Ant Phy, & your question as well. It was the correct answer because this is my profession, not my hate vote hobby. Benni1.9 / 5 (9) Dec 12, 2015 @Benni Kinda the pot calling the kettle black Ok, so you too want to grovel around in the mire of the name calling & profanity that goes on within the ranks of the 1 Star Vote Brigade here. So just let me ask you too: Did you Report "jijenkins"? How about Report clicks by Axemaster? Anti Alias Phy? VietVet? MM? ......you know, all the usual suspects within that 1 Star Vote Brigade. Here's an even more poignant question: Have you ever clicked the Report button on me? After all I don't grovel around in the use the jijenkins & Stumpy skillset of language., and maybe you find that offensive? Captain Stumpy4 / 5 (9) Dec 12, 2015 have you clicked the Report tab on "jijenkins"? @benji no. why would i? and as for "past name calling" ... there is a difference between labeling someone and simply calling names you think you are smarter than everyone else (Dunning-Kruger) so you denigrate people with commentary like "if you studied Einstein like i have" or "if you knew how to do ODE's like i do"... problem is, you have never demonstrated your ability and you HAVE demonstrated that you are definitely NOT educated as claimed that part is proven time and again on PO- so don't bother arguing about it the Skyscraper circuit design chip, yeah go take a look and you begin that whole post with "because you do not understand why" as well again, just because your mom told you that you're smart doesn't mean that you really are your claims re: differential equations - except you CAN'T do them proof: http://phys.org/n...ood.html that's just 1 thread Captain Stumpy4.1 / 5 (9) Dec 12, 2015 @benji cont'd and normally i just ignore your posts as well, because you don't have anything of content to add, but feel it is relevant to "poke the troll" in this case why? because people like you are demonstrative of the failure in culture with regard to scientific literacy you make a CLAIM, yet you cannot substantiate said claim with evidence (mostly you brag about your own ability, but can't prove it) this is argument from authority, though you perceive yourself to be said authority this is the very definition of Dunninng-Kruger, as you can't demonstrate your braggadocio, but you think you've been able to actually show intelligence WRT subjects you give some of the best examples of someone who can't substantiate claims as well as Dunning-Kruger... and you also perfectly exemplify Rule 37 (there are no [insert claim here] on the internet) you are a research psychiatrists wet dream and your continued posting is harvested as examples my2cts3.9 / 5 (14) Dec 12, 2015 People, we can all do benni a great service with the ignore option.

From Plato's Dialogues at https://books.goo...pg=PA367 "Phaethon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father's chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burned up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt. Now, this has the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving around the earth and in the heavens, and a great conflagration of things upon the earth recurring at long intervals of time" "All of these stories, and ten thousand others which are still more wonderful, have a common origin; many of them have been lost in the lapse of ages, or exist only as fragments; but the origin of them is what no one has told."

The point which you seem keen on ignoring is that there is potentially important knowledge to be learned from these people about plasmas. And your own point that they knew less than us about the technical aspects of this subject is not just unimportant. It's also once again self-serving. I'm afraid that you are only demonstrating my point that in the event of an impending large-scale event, your own inclination will not be to serve the people of the world by doing a comprehensive survey of what is claimed. Your approach would be an arrogant one which will either produce a triumph for your own specific worldview -- or the world be damned.

I'm afraid that you are only demonstrating my point that in the event of an impending large-scale event actually, you are demonstrating MY point even better... how will faerie circles, dwarven hammers and elf poop help the next "impending large-scale event"? they won't just like investing money in a known pseudoscience, religion, "we-didn't-land-on-the-moon" anti-science will not help anything it would be like pouring money into filing helium Balloons to tie to the earth to change orbit (i bet you would try this) indio0071.4 / 5 (9) Dec 12, 2015 Stumpy, modern cosmology has to rely on the emperors new clothes to even explain it's gravitational theory.

The article only says that scientists have read the paper but consider objects are illusions (random blips etc) and that some are likely to look into it.

Third - I am asking you to think about the issue of science. Captain speaks up for the process of science - ie the selection of evidence - over superstition. I encouraged you to think about why - multiple readers may consistently view your posts - worth a down grade. Maybe just stay with the science - instead of having a pity party about a pretty insignificant rating system. Let others use the rating system as they see fit - and stop trying to control the world. meerling3.7 / 5 (9) Dec 13, 2015 The whole electomagnetic universe or whatever you call it, whether pro or con, is totally OFFTOPIC !

Noumenon3.7 / 5 (9) Dec 13, 2015 Look back at every comment you have put on this thread. Not one discusses the science. I guess I need to discuss the science. - I agree with Captain - science asks for evidence Where did YOU discuss science above? Where did CS discuss science above? CS has 30 posts in this thread,... go back and read them, most of them say basically the same thing over and over, without actual scientific substance. I give CS a hard time because he makes the mistake of presumptuously insulting me with accusationary style responses and troll rating, all the while avoiding substance. What is a far more instructive and interesting discussion than jerry-springer combats, is to actually engage the supposed crank into substantive details,... not just simply relaying your naive notion of the scientific method ad nauseum. I have engaged cranks like johanfprins and others here in detail so that I used them for instructive discussion,.... and to "test" my own understanding. Noumenon3.8 / 5 (10) Dec 13, 2015 ....It is a necessary element and quite ubiquitous in science history to put forth hypothesis. A hypothesis by its meaning does not necessarily require conclusive and immediate evidence. The point of a hypothesis is as a point of departure for further investigation. This is a necessary element in the scientific method for which CS appears not to understand. Another point he misses is that science does not "prove" things. That GR is not omnipotent Truth. Is is susceptible to change if physics is compelled to change it**. So, therefore it's not counter-science to put forth a hypothesis, as CS entire argument seems to suggest. Accepting this fact, would then require one to engage the supposed crank into detailed discussion if they were interested in refuting them. Noumenon3.5 / 5 (8) Dec 13, 2015 What CS and others should understand imo, is that dark-matter IS itself a hypothesis, which is categorically NOT "proven" by Newtonian/GR theory. It is predicted by theory, but remains a hypothesis until it can be directly observed. ** What compells science to change or reject a theory is that observable evidence can not be accounted for in the present accepted theory. Given the rotation velocity of galaxies and clusters and the amount of observable mass, this is indeed the case. The inference of missing mass is a hypothesis. Where the anti-DM people are going wrong imo, is in putting the cart before the horse.... You don't reject a theory (Newton/GR) without letting that theoy speak to you, i.e....by motivating the hypothesis of DM. Einstein didn't let GR 'speak to him' about expansion of the universe. Dirac's relativistic Schrodinger equation via matrices to square the space-time interval, spoke to science to predict anti-matter,.... etc etc. Noumenon4.4 / 5 (7) Dec 13, 2015 I agree with Captain - science asks for evidence - not philobabble. A giant pile of "evidence" by itself is utterly useless to science without a hypothesis in which to form a synthesis of it in the hopes of establishing or validating a theory. Philosophy is at the heart of the scientific method. An analysis of what constitutes knowledge. I like CaptainStumpy and think he is a valuable contributor,... but deserves to be my victim when he engages in off topic anti-philosophy, troll-rating ones opinion, insults, presumptions wrt ones state of knowledge, hypocritical posts, lack of actual specific substance, etc. What is particularly amusing and for which he is evidently unaware, is that 90% of his own posts are about the scientific method,... which is in fact a Philosophy of knowledge. In fact philosophy of science investogates the legitimacy of claims of knowledge, the methods of science, it's implications, what indeed qualifies as science, etc. Whydening Gyre4.4 / 5 (7) Dec 13, 2015 The crux of all this being - they observed something, made no speculations as to it's nature (due to insufficient observation) and reported it. Everything else in the article and comment thread is speculative and imaginary "interpretation". Hopefully, someone takes the cue and INVESTIGATES FURTHER, so as to make a proper delineation of what these guys reported seeing... Mimath2241 / 5 (1) Dec 13, 2015 So who agrees with P K Feyerabend? And who agrees with W V Quine etc.? Noumenon4.6 / 5 (9) Dec 13, 2015 OK. After reading those posts, I am going to buy a handgun. These nut cases are a clear and present threat. They're running a candidate for POTUS. They're preventing action on climate change. They're endangering my child's health with their anti-vaxxer wisdumb. They're at the core of many violent racist groups. Enough is enough. Time to pass a few amps between each testicle of every "electrical cosmologist". The road to present scientific understanding was paved on the basis of skepticism and freedom of thought, and is strewn with failed hypothesis as a necessary component of its progress. Your post is orders of magnitude more offensive than one merely being wrong. greenonions4.9 / 5 (8) Dec 13, 2015 Noumenon but deserves to be my victim For me - this statement sums up the entire argument. Who are you - to claim that another person is your "victim"? Captain is discussing the science - when telling people that they are making assertions - without evidence. We watch this happening on a daily basis. Dogbert recently announced "I have not decided if the climate is warming." There is the crux. The collective body of science has made that determination - and my opinion on the subject is irrelevant. Does noumenon et al propose that I collect data on the electric universe, and formulate my own hypothesis - and then promote my hypothesis on the comments section of a web site? How would I collect this data? Does noumenon et al propose that we can litigate the details of the electric universe - in 1,000 character comments? Here is a technical discussion of the EU theory - http://neutrinodr...ked.html Cont. greenonions5 / 5 (7) Dec 13, 2015 Trying to debunk cranks (a technical term meaning proponent of pseudoscience) http://rationalwi...oscience is pointless. Watch a debate between JVK, and an evolutionary biologist. That biologist can present all the evidence supporting evolution - and the debate goes around in circles. Advocating for rigorous science is discussing science. The thing that really interests/bothers me is how you and Benni et al need to control the rating system. There are many cranks, and jerks on this board - that make detailed debate absolutely pointless (antigoracle would be the prime example). It is my prerogative to slap such people a one, and move on. But you and Benni have to control the world - and have big pitty parties over others use of ratings. If you don't like me - give me a one - and move on. A one from antigoracle et al is a compliment. Of course you could create a sock puppet - and stroke your own ego that way. Oh - you already did that.... Noumenon3.4 / 5 (5) Dec 13, 2015 So who agrees with P K Feyerabend? And who agrees with W V Quine etc.? It what sense? It may depend upon the specific scientific field. In the "exact sciences" I tend toward positivism as opposed to scientific-realism, but also think the analytic / synthetic distinction is necessary in science [is MWT or string theory science?]. Feyerabend makes a point wrt how science actually progressed historically [imo theories that merely try to save intuitive understanding, are subjective]. "Each time we get into this log-jam of too much trouble, too many problems, it is because the methods that we are using are just like the ones we have used before. The next scheme, the new discovery, is going to be made in a completely different way." - Richard Feynman Hat12084.2 / 5 (5) Dec 13, 2015 @greenonions Thanks for the link. I know that the EU society will never accept the bullet points of the author yet I think the arguments are well reasoned. I am always looking for understanding this seemingly contradictory approach to the universe if for no other reason the zest with which the EU defend their theory Thanks again keep up the good work. Noumenon4.2 / 5 (5) Dec 13, 2015 Captain is discussing the science - when telling people that they are making assertions - without evidence. In point of fact, he is not discussing science, he is discussing philosophy,.... the scientific method. One has a choice to prevent littering phys.orgs comment section with crank-bickering , ...you can either click on the Ignore option, or you can make use of your science knowledge to litigate the details of the alternative theory, as THATS how science works, .... and the point above is thats what would making reading this comment section actually interesting and about science.... Here is some evidence ... ----> jerry-springer argumentation is not working as a refutation. The collective body of science has made that determination Even a cursory glance at history informs one that scientific-consensus alone, is not a structural component of scientific progress. See the Feynman quote above. cantdrive852.1 / 5 (7) Dec 13, 2015 @greenonions Thanks for the link. I know that the EU society will never accept the bullet points of the author yet I think the arguments are well reasoned. You can wish the bullet points are well reasoned, but as usual it is nothing but misinformation and a skewed understanding of the proper physics. But you'll never accept that obvious fact. Noumenon4.2 / 5 (5) Dec 13, 2015 ..... My above posts are not meant to advocate for anti-GR or EU theories, as I don't know about them at present, ...but only to defend the act of putting forth alternative hypothesis from inappropriate and irrational argumentation. There are and were many such hypothesis under development in need of supporting evidence,...quantum objective-reduction, aether, many-worlds, multiverse, loop-quantum gravity, string theory, non-singularity BB,... Eventually, .....to evolve to a scientific theory, they will have to predict something over and above present theory or at least offer a simpler and coherent formulation, but that can't happen before that capability is at hand, or before it finds coherent mathematical formulation. Noumenon3.7 / 5 (6) Dec 13, 2015 Noumenon but deserves to be my victim For me - this statement sums up the entire argument. Who are you - to claim that another person is your "victim"? Someone with a sense of humour. If that sub-phrase sums up my entire argument for you, then you appear to have no interest in objective analysis, or are dishonestly attempting to control by obscuring, the points made. Which is it? Hat12083.9 / 5 (7) Dec 13, 2015 @cantdrive85 There is no wishing to it. I think that the arguments are well reasoned. You decry others not accepting your opinion yet you then deny that to me along with taking my response out of context. I simply said that I thought that the arguments were well reasoned not that they are somehow facts. BIOYA cantdrive852.3 / 5 (6) Dec 13, 2015 There is no wishing to it. I think that the arguments are well reasoned. Point by point shall we? Just to see where your reason lies. Missing neutrinos- By their own admission, astrophysicists reported less than half of the required neutrinos had been detected. They "solved" this discrepancy by claiming changing flavors, however the solution is based upon assumptions shoehorned to fit the observation. The author of this blog goes on to say; "If an alternative theory is to be considered, scientists would need to reject the theory of nuclear fusion at the centre of a star." Yep, although the tone would suggest this be sacrilege. They go on; "This would also necessarily lead to rejection of the theories of thermodynamics, gravitation, nuclear physics, statistical physics, electromagnetism, hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics." This is a completely asinine statement, a strawman of epic proportions. Reasonable? Not even close! greenonions3.9 / 5 (7) Dec 13, 2015 Noumenon If that sub-phrase sums up my entire argument for you As usual - down the rabbit hole - and the pointless circularity begins. No that does not sum up your entire argument - it sums up the entire argument. The core of the problem is engaging in back and forth - pointless arguments - which seems to be for the purpose of one-upmanship. One cannot litigate massive subjects such as EU - on a 1,000 word comments section. Plus - these debates have already been had. Read the link I gave - clearly others much more informed than us have had this debate. Using terms like 'my victim' - shows the approach you take to this kind of debate. Then you accuse Captain of 'littering' the comments section. cantdrive852.3 / 5 (6) Dec 13, 2015 Convection- Once again, astrophysicists have shown by their own studies there is not enough convection to support the standard theory. Only one percent of the required convection was reported when scientist measured the "convection zone" with an MRI. http://arxiv.org/abs/1206.3173 The comments regarding the Reynolds/Raleigh properties is another strawman developed by Timmy "The Tool" Thompson, it would seem the author of the blog simply copy/pasted arguments pro-offered by "The Tool" and claimed them as their own. BTW, those fallacious were dismantled here; http://electric-c...nder.pdf Reasoned? Fail! Inverse square law- According to solar theory, the core is 15mil K, direct measurement of the photosphere is 6000K, and the corona is ~5mil K. This hardly follows the ISL, it is only linguistic gymnastics the blog author uses to "debunk" the obviousness. Reasoned? LOL! cantdrive852.3 / 5 (6) Dec 13, 2015 edit: *fallacious claims* "Bag of plasma"- Well, it would be interesting to hear what this moron seems to think the Sun is made. By every single account, the Sun is 100% plasma. There is absolutely no aspects of the standard solar theory to explain the variable periodicity of processes in the Sun, whether the 2hr 40min fluctuations, the 11/22 year cycles, flipping of the fields, etc... These items are fully expected in electrical terms. Proper reasoning? Hardly! Solar wind/electric field- Once again were dealing with an argument pro-offered by "The Tool". The incorrect physics are being applied by the "debunkers", he is incorrectly using simple electrostatics. The correct physics that need to be applied are those of a low-pressure gas discharge, as such all claims by the "debunkers" are completely meaningless. They aren't even in the same ballpark, they may as well be using GR to describe how your belt holds your pants up. Reasoned? So far from it, it is pathetic. cantdrive852.1 / 5 (7) Dec 13, 2015 "And then the wheels fell off…- Hmmm.

I was studying the Coriolis effect, and to my chagrin, and amazement, I could not put a finger on whether it spiraled down the drain in a clock-wise or counter-clock-wise motion, because it kept changing direction on me every few seconds! I know that discovery of the large object in Centauri's field of view was an accident, because they are still staring at those three stars of the Centauri system.

I know that the EU society will never accept the bullet points of the author yet I think the arguments are well reasoned." What is striking is the low level of review which seems to pass as sufficient for this group -- namely, a non-reviewed article on the Internet is enough to wipe out an entire cosmological hypothesis which points to (1) one of the few fundamental forces we have and (2) laboratory observations of a state of matter as its basis. Is it really the case that an Internet article can do all of this? Much of the EU hypothesis is published in IEEE's Transactions on Plasma Science. IEEE is the world's largest technical organization, and responsible for much of the semiconductor technology you're using right now to undermine these ideas. Benni2.4 / 5 (14) Dec 13, 2015 with few exceptions, my posts are carefully crafted for a specific reason, and though you dislike them, they are necessary for a specific response or reason .............yeah, better understood as name calling & foul mouthed profanity. Just who do you imagine you're kidding. You wouldn't even 1 Star jijenkins who came here advocating torture, but you 1 Starred my post against his advocacy for such behavior. Stumpo, you're just a charlatan. Just as jijenkins is a totally worthless piece of human debris in his advocacy for torture, your mentality is in the same classification. You're simply on PO here for social networking seeking friendships for those of like minds, & you find them ensconced in the mindsets of the "jijenkins". plasmasrevenge2.8 / 5 (11) Dec 13, 2015 Benni, the point of Captain Stumpy's activism is easy enough to understand by simply looking up "media manipulation" on wikipedia ... https://en.wikipe...pulation "Media manipulation is a series of related techniques in which partisans create an image or argument that favours their particular interests.[1] Such tactics may include the use of logical fallacies and propaganda techniques, and OFTEN INVOLVE THE SUPPRESSION OF INFORMATION OR POINTS OF VIEW BY CROWDING THEM OUT, BY INDUCING OTHER PEOPLE OR GROUPS OF PEOPLE TO STOP LISTENING TO CERTAIN ARGUMENTS, OR BY SIMPLY DIVERTING ATTENTION ELSEWHERE." There is no need to make valid points when your purpose is to simply crowd out the points you are trying to obscure.

And all you want to babble on about is the "score"? The "score" is what tells everybody else here where you your heartfelt sympathies lie, everytime you click that 1-5 Stars, or none at all. You clicked 5's for jijenkins, & so did Stumpo, who you reverently refer to as "Captain". So what do you imagine Stumpo is Captain of? The Vote Brigade clicking 5 Stars for jijenkins, a self avowed advocate for human torture? greenonions5 / 5 (8) Dec 13, 2015 Plasmarevenge What is striking is the low level of review which seems to pass as sufficient for this group So an anonymous comment posted on Physorg by someone named candrive - represents a high level of review - but a detailed web site - that deals with the claims of eu in a very deliberate, and scientific manner - is unacceptable. So neumenon declares that we must discuss the science - but when someone posts a link to a site that clearly does discuss the science - in a clearly informed manner - it is unacceptable. greenonions4.6 / 5 (9) Dec 13, 2015 Beni You clicked 5's for jijenkins, No I did not - I already told you that.

I down vote those that I perceive as jerks. I am very clear about this - and have been over it many times. You and Noumenon and others make reasoned debate pointless.

IEEE counts success by whether or not the device functions. The EU models are simply adaptations of laboratory plasma observations to the cosmological context. Any process which rejects that approach deserves to be questioned. Neither dark matter nor dark energy are considered failures by astrophysical standards, and yet little-to-no progress has been made on them over the past two decades. So, what is failure to these people? It is increasingly clear to many that failure in the astrophysical domain encompasses those ideas which threaten their own preferred ideology. The astrophysical standards are the very problem which demand scrutiny. greenonions5 / 5 (9) Dec 13, 2015 Benni where is your condemnation of the jijenkins post?

Basically he's a jerk and so are you. koitsunot rated yet Dec 13, 2015 "Some have even tweeted their opinions, insinuating that jumping on the Planet X bandwagon would be sheer folly." There is insufficient evidence to accept or reject the claim that a brown dwarf or large planet exists beyond Pluto.

(is he that crappy at his chosen profession?) Why isn't the astrophysicist community showing interest in his "plasma physics" when the astrophysicists have plasma physics training and work with plasma physics labs?

You live on an "Estate" with ski trails and everything...:-) @Whyde it all comes back to evidence, really see, benji fancies herself an engineer and intellectual, but to date, all she can prove is that: -she is an acerbic braggart who can't do the math she proclaims herself to be proficient at -she wants us to think she has made money being an engineer -somehow she is completely computer illiterate (something i've found to be odd... because i've seen reactors- on subs and sites. very tech heavy) notice she never could do your ODE, and even questioned what ODE meant (which is even a term that my granddaughter knew, oddly enough, and she is only in 9th grade studying the bio-med prep program at her school) PS- i am a Truck Captain from the fire department (KMCFD & Piney) not that it actually matters one whit to anyone but my bank I was always thinking, that Benni is male, Im surprised that she is female.

SuperThunder3 / 5 (4) Dec 14, 2015 Oh, so now I'm coming to grok that the reason the European Universe theorists (EU, what a weird name for it) hate Einstein is that some how Euroverse is against Relativity. I can only imagine what levels of Final Fantasy magic level up system of pseudoscience must be required to explain time dilation with electricity. Like, maybe there's only one time traveling photon in the universe, so the faster you travel the more you're crossing its timeline, so time happens more at once for you? Am I close? I'm hardly trying. ForFreeMinds3 / 5 (2) Dec 14, 2015 Not being a physicist or astronomer, it would have been helpful if the article mentioned how we see a planet with radio waves. My limited research suggests that hot enough or big enough (which would imply a molten core) planets give off radio waves which suggest that's why they believe it's a "large object." Now I wonder how large enough a planet like object has to be to have a molten core or to give off radio waves. I find this very cool.

Whenever a poster resorts to attempts to invalidate or attack or denigrate others - there is an unwillingness or incapacity to actually communicate. There is more than 'factual data', there is the interpretation of that data - which is never without agenda. Self-honesty seeks to an openness without merely conforming to pre-existing known or hidden bias. But human beings are not given to self-honesty when they have investment of identity, status, and security at stake. And so the competing of asserted 'realities, models or paradigms' operates like any war, in a world predicated on war - because self-honesty is met with ridicule, demonisation and denial. The undercurrent emotional conditionings that rule the mind of those who must be perceived to be in conformance to be credible, respectable or acceptable operates a kind of scientism that is presenting itself as a form of coercive agenda my2cts4 / 5 (8) Dec 15, 2015 The undercurrent emotional conditionings that rule the mind of those who must be perceived to be in conformance to be credible, respectable or acceptable operates a kind of scientism that is presenting itself as a form of coercive agenda Huh ?
