Well. Lets wait till its been peer reviewed. However if its true, it'll revolutionise the way we see the universe.


True or not the peer review process will rip the shit out of it.

There aren't Scientific revolutions so much as evolutions.  Waiting for the old guard to die out.  The whole "scientists only goal is to find the truth is right and right bull for most of them.  It's about them being right.

I'd be shocked if said viewpoint has advanced enough.

Reading this made me sad. In afterthought, however, it makes sense. We are still humans, bound by our desires.

Yeah, i dunno.  Peer Review is basically just the forerunner to an internet message board.  No one likes being wrong.

It reminds me of an old Einstein tale, where he was positive he was right, back before he was famous, you know back when he was an amaetuer scientist, and while he was... he'd done his calculations wrong,  he had planned a big display to show off he was right, and luckily something came up and he couldn't go through with it... he didn't get to announce it.

Later realzing his error he was happy because he realized if he had went through with it, his career would of been over and it'd be 50 years before anyone took his theory seriously again.
