Greetings. Out of interest I have visited this website and forum every now and then over the years and have personally always found it quite a good "mind expanding activity" to try and consider FE theory from the point of view that it might actually be correct (and there's aspects of it that do really get me thinking), but alas I am still not convinced.
I will openly admit I do not have enough knowledge and understanding of the physics, mathematics, astronomy, etc. to try and tackle any of those areas in a serious debate with otherwise knowledgeable participants but to me the whole matter seems to boil down to how "obscure" FE theory is, from the public but, even more so, from the scientific community in general.
I know the scientific community can be a bunch of arrogant and stubborn knobs a lot of the time, but I have to wonder why FET is so "disregarded" around the world in general?
I have read about a "conspiracy" to keep it all a secret but to me this, in itself, is a very poor argument.
Is the FE theory growing in popularity (I mean on a noticeable scale)?
Because a conspiracy doesn't seem to adequately explain why millions of intelligent men and women around the world aren't being compelled by its "undeniable" truth, especially if all the evidence is apparently obvious and available to anyone with an open mind and a decent knowledge of physics (it seems a lot of the debates come down to this).
Not every "thinker" in this day and age adheres to the preconceptions of modern science, and fear of ridicule (even exile and death) has never stopped the bravest from stating what they believe is the truth. In my mind, the sheer number of independent thinkers around today and the power of the internet should have cracked this conspiracy wide open (or verified FE theory for everyone) a long time ago. At the very least, there should be more fuss being made about it.
Could someone please elaborate on how so many have been fooled for so long? There are other aspects of FET that I would like to discuss but this is the first "hurdle" for me.
PS- This may belong in the debate section but really just looking to get a better understanding.
