Expert Opinion is the Worst Evidence

  • Expert opinion is the lowest form of scientific evidnce and in many cases isn't evidence at all. When the consensus has been unable to solve important problems for decades the consensus is wrong. New ideas are probably wrong too. So trust, or not, but verify when an expert talks.

    I don't think people really understand how much modern physics is actually resting on shoddy foundations. Pretty much everything we know is based on Newton's 3 laws of motion, which themselves are actually indiscernable and questionable on close inspection. The first law defines inertia and momentum in terms of motion. But all motion is relative and these two things are highly conflated because they're interchangable depending on your frame of reference. There's no such thing as an "inertial frame of reference". I'd argue that the first law should actually be two separate laws, and both should be preceded by a zeroth and negative oneth law that define an observer and relative motion.

    It would be nice if there was a place where people like Ray could come together and discuss fundamental flaws in theoretical physics and help each other hammer out the weaknesses or vagueness in their ideas. The Chapelle society of Natural Philosophy seemed like it would serve that role rather well, but the site design is unfortunately awful and it's simply too difficult to have a real time conversation.

      Dave has ruined Chapelle by insisting that there is no medium in space and silencing those of us who work in quantum field theory. There are also far to many true crackpots associated with it. I went to an excellent conference in 2019 in Prague and hope to get invited to more like that.

      @@rayfleming2053 His g-particle theory was interesting and all, but I find that trying to reduce the laws of nature to nothing but bumping particles is just as illogical and unproductive as asserting the universe has divine origins while simultaneously asserting that the origin of God is unknowable.
      You can't have inertia/momentum or a rate of inductance without a medium, you can't manifest something from nothing, and there's no such thing as randomness; so the existence of universal constants, independent of some combination of naturally numbered quantities, is completely nonsensical and untenable. There's also proof after proof that light is a wave in such a way that it cannot be reduced to particles without postulating the existence of alternative universes. We may not be able to comprehend the substance of the universe, but no matter how you define it, that substance can only be mathematically quantified in terms in fields.

      @@bitskit3476 Yeah agreed kind of. I see particles not as particles as such but as quite literally quanta of waves. Envelopes of fields with identifiable thresholds that we can call particles simply for the purpose of calculating partitions of energy and the properties that are associated with those partitions. Hmm. Not sure my wording is right but effectively a transmission of light or any Emag radiation from a nuclide is a spheroid wave and why the surface area of that sphere equates to the inverse square of the energy distributed in that single wave. It also then allows for the inductive responses of the dipoles to communicate and affect each consecutive wave proportionally to the wavelength at any given moment. Lazy Redshift type phenomena etc. Cool subject to ponder on. And yeah universal constants should be called out for local conditions. They were fine when we were tinkering on smaller scales but as we start moving into larger exponents then the accuracy of the constants will need to be adjusted in various environments of, say higher gravitational, higher thermal, higher environmental conditions that may be offering an extreme variance on the very nature of the stuff that allows the communication of stuff to happen. :)

    General/special relativity is an unobservable theory. No one has ever observed space itself, much less space itself bending, warping, twisting, or contorting in non-Euclidean geodesic manifolds.

      We have observations of parts of it. In particle colliders we can extend the time a particle exists by moving it really fast which means that velocity leads to time dilation & then black holes show spacetime warping showing that it has other parts of it right. But I do agree that its not right due to it not mixing well with the standard model which has far more evidence than general/special relativity.

    Love the info you are putting out. One little thing is you could really use a better microphone setup, I think it's mainly the placement. I think you have it too far away and thus you have to really crank up the gain. The mic doesn't need to be anything fancy, there are plenty of inexpensive budget microphones that sound good and lots of youtube how-to videos on getting good 'voice' audio. Also lots of free programs to use, OBS, Audacity, Davinci Resolve (free version, thou Davinci is a fairly steep learning curve). Anyway thanks again and keep up the good work.

    • @rayfleming2053
      @rayfleming2053  Před rokem +2

      Thanks for your suggestions. Someone recently complained that the volume was too low so I turned up the gain at my camera, but it introduced too much noise, so I will turn it down again.
      I have a decent shotgun mic 2 feet from me but there is lots of echoing off the walls, floor, and ceiling, which are all solid. Next year I might be able to afford to rent a 2 bedroom place and put together a better studio setup and buy a better mic.

    If you have a new theory that no one has any experience with then who is the expert? The best one might do is find folks with specialised tools that are most related to the content of the theory and see if their treatment of the theory can help them realise it into something useful for others to build on. Collaboration.

    "I like to include first the non-evidential parts. The lowest being no theory at all, say inertia. If you don't have a theory, that's the lowest form of evidence. And the lowest form of scientist is someone who criticizes someone for coming up with a hypothesis for something like inertia. Certainly, you can criticize a hypothesis if it has weaknesses, that's part of science. But to criticize someone just for trying to come up with a hypothesis for a question that you are too afraid to touch, no that's unscientific."
    For fun, let's try the topic of inertia on the grand scale?
    Condition #1) A mass adrift somewhere in the universe, on a free-fall trajectory. The trajectory being the result of the interaction of all other masses (and their trajectories) in the universe.
    Condition #2) The exact same mass pushed via an external force to a different location. Every single mass in the universe now on a very slight, but an undeniably different trajectory.
    If we agree that the trajectories at 1 and 2 are different, then if follows that all the trajectories were in a state of change during the transition from 1 to 2.
    Can we also deduce that the external force needed to push the mass was 'felt by' and 'reacted against' the other masses? Ie, the reaction force was exerted on and due to the existence of the other masses in the universe.
    Is this obvious to anyone else??

    • @rayfleming2053
      @rayfleming2053  Před rokem +1

      Neutral and electrically charged bodies have the same speed of light limit and thus the same resistance to motion as determined by the permittivity and permeability of the quantum field. Inertia can therefore only be a self-inductive interaction with the quantum field that is similar to magnetic self-induction.
