Who is interested in DET?
« on: November 25, 2015, 09:04:20 AM »
A lot of REers have been complaining I only teach DET over PMs, somehow claiming I'm keeping it secret, despite the open availability.
The aim was to avoid the troll-fest that trying to explain the model publicly inevitably ends in, as I've previously experienced. Few REers seem willing to actually put in the effort to learn a FE model: a process which, inevitably, will take some time, and actually applying yourself.

I'm working on ways that I could express the model without the flaws I've previously experienced. is this something anyone would actually be interested in, and would take the time to read and learn, or is it simply another timewasting tactic?

(Side note: for now, the invitation remains open: PM me if you are interested in learning DET).

Unless you can provide evidence, don't expect much acceptance.

That would be part of it, but how can you understand evidence if you don't know what the evidence was for?

Your sig is grammatically incorrect. But that aside, maybe this way you won't have to repeat yourself to a hundred REs like me. We are mainly asking two things: how you know Aether exists? And how you know it act the way you say it does?

What I find ridiculous is not putting your DEH up publicly, but still arguing about it publicly. If you think it's too deep to just post here[nb]Or too embarrasing.[/nb], fine. Create your own website, admit only who you want, and discuss away. You could do everything here by PM, I suppose, but I don't see a group discussion as feasible that way.

Either put it up here, put up a link where it can be found, or stop talking about it here, please.

What usually happens is that someone who understands things hits the first few fatal flaws, asks you about them, and you evade answering, and then they give up on the rest of it. You might consider anticipating the questions and preemptively addressing them in your explanation. That would go a long way.

I and at least one other poster have suggested plumping up the bulges so that there is no discontinuity at the Equator. If you do that properly, all the problems will go away. You don't even need Aether. Simple.

Nah. If you had any confidence in your own idea you'd put it up for public discourse expecting to have to defend it. Since you're not interested in doing that, I'm not interested. Thanks for the invite, though.

If you'll just post the theory in its current form or a link to it, I'll read until I have a question about what appears to be ridiculous; if you refuse to answer the question, then I'm done (again).

How could JRowe teach his theory in this environment. He offers it voluntarily in a quiet setting, let him go! Why are you trolls so interested, just dismiss him. You arouse our suspicions by the intensity of your objections.

He proclaims Aether exists without giving studies and tests of its existence. All we want is to at least give evidence that proves beyond reasonable doubt that it exists.

Maybe he can't. If he wants to discuss it, I suggest he create an environment where he can teach and discuss it as he sees fit.

Quote

If that's what he wants, he needs to complete the process and avoid discussing it in a rowdy environment, or not complain.

Quote

Nah. Your "suspicions" would be aroused, if that's what you want, no matter what anyone else does.

1. "Wow! They really challenged that notion hard and provided tons of detailed data and facts. They must be afraid. He must be on to something."

2. "Wow! They never challenged that at all. He must be on to something."

See the problem?

We'll keep pointing out the flaws we see (i.e. avoiding scenario 2., above). He's free to defend his ideas as best he can. You can evaluate the arguments as best you are able, or not, as you see fit.

Not actually saying what the ideas currently are, then complaining that people don't keep up with the changes, is just ridiculous. Welcome to the Flat-Earth Society!

And I answered both of those questions, you just kept repeating them without even trying to say what was wrong with what I've said. How exactly do you expect to get an answer if you won't even acknowledge what you are given? I explained how we know the property in the original message, and explained how we know there exists something to assign the property to multiple times after that, and not once did you provide the simplest acknowledgement of that, even to say why you found a problem.
Do you expect not to be called out on blatantly wasting time?

Which simply demonstrates you have no understanding of the model. Do you enjoy unjustified claims?
If you disagree this is unjustified, please provide your evidence. Wait: you never learnt the current model, so this is just a pointless accusation.

Quote
Either put it up here, put up a link where it can be found, or stop talking about it here, please.
I talk about it publicly to gain interest; it is still publicly available, did you miss that? Group discussions would be possible if REers were remotely honest, but instead you're all trying to complain about a theory you don't understand. Just look at the poll results: we're 50/50. And if half aren't interested in taking the time to learn a model, then what exactly do you expect?

Quote

You might consider anticipating the questions and preemptively addressing them in your explanation. That would go a long way.
Actually what normally happens is that someone asks a question akin to "How does the moon go around the Earth under RET?" which can't be answered without first explaining gravity: and the DE analogue requires far more explanation because REers reject any FE principle regardless of evidence or justification. What scientific theory exactly do you imagine could be answered with a snap of your fingers?
No one reads a wall of text in answer to a simple question, but that's inevitably going to be what's necessary to give an answer that can be understood.

Quote

It's available to the public, if it were anything else then, in my experience, all you'd get is trolls claiming to have read it and spamming with questions which demonstrate they clearly could not. Sokarul provides a great example, in this very thread.

Quote
BTW OP, would it be all right if I disclose the conversation we had through PMs?
if you're going to do that fully and honestly, you'd need to disclose the original post: so not yet. Wait and see how the poll develops: if it turns out there's no actual interest in learning the DE model, then go ahead. If not, I'll post up a link and we can talk in a public setting.

Tried that, it's a waste of time. A handful here would be interested in joining a second forum, and most would be FEers plugging their own models, or conspiracy nuts. Do you just assume you're the only one who's ever had a thought?

As for me, I've read it, several times. There is no evidence, just definitions. You need observational evidence, true. That is not evidence. "Everything is evidence for DEF" is not evidence. It is just a fantastical bizarre model unsupported by anything measurable.

I have acknowledged Aether as presented and started discussing it - "not once did you provide the simplest acknowledgement of that, even to say why you found a problem." - this is a lie.

For the real parts (hemidisks), I found they can not align telescopes because they are FLAT. As I pointed out, and JRoweSkeptic refuses to acknowledge, no amount of time spent studying DEF will change a FLAT model into a SPHERICAL model. He just whines that I have not studied it enough. He claims it can set the angles required but does not know where an observer or the NCP/SCP is in his model. Since it matches Spherical models PERFECTLY (i.e. latitudes), it can not, by definition, match Flat models. He does not understand this. It, like the Eratosthenes Experiment performed daily all around Earth, proves the Earth is a sphere. Unless he can come up with REAL measurements, just BS is insufficient for his fantasy.

So I for one have found a fatal flaw that was not addressed based on what I personally have done and amateur astronomers do every day. *I* do not want to waste anymore time on the fantasy.

I also agree with Alpha2Omega. Nice presentation.

This is the appropriate thread.  Luke challenged a theory because the theory proposes Aether.  Einstein's General Relativity also proposes Aether (Ether as he spelled it).  Therefore, logically, it would follow that Luke is challenging Einstein's own theories.  I don't see how pointing this out is derailing or otherwise not appropriate for this thread.

No, this is not the appropriate thread. Here we are discussing "Who is interested in DET?". People are just justifying why they do or do not want to learn it (several reasons). Any discussion of these reasons should be in their own threads - not derailing here. How is going into detail and debating Einstein here relevant to "Who is interested in DET?" If you want to discuss Einstein, create a new thread (specific) or go to the "DET - discussions" thread (general).

You have read an outline that I have explained multiple times is nearly impossible to learn the model from, and your repeated false claims about it are perfect evidence. And you also ignore the evidence for the model, rejecting it by assertion alone.
