Alternative Theory (hypotheses about an aether concept)
Title of thread: Hypothesis of a Cosmology Based on a Foundational Medium
I acknowledge that starting a thread on an alternative hypothesis opens up a venue in the forum for comments of all kinds, on topic, off topic, personal and impersonal, intelligent and ignorant and so, 1) I will try to keep my comments on track, 2) I will ignore any comment I please (and I might say, "I'll ignore that comment") unless a moderator insists I respond, 3) I will try to present the topic in a sequence that goes step by step, but I know that if there turns out to be several participants that will be almost impossible. I'll mention a few steps at a time and deal with them one by one if the flow of discussion permits, but I will interrupt the discussion when I feel it is time to move to the next step unless a moderator interrupts my decisions concerning how I want to proceed. That won't be a problem if there is very little participation, and I don't expect much interest after the first initial responses assuming the thread is even in the right place.
My overall topic for this thread is my interest in discussing an alternative hypothesis about a foundational medium model of cosmology; I call it a model, you may think that is presumptuous. I have no "as yet undiscovered proof" of anything new to the scientific community to support an aether model and demands for proof of any hypothesis for which I have no proof will be answered with "I have no proof". In the same vain, I consider the current generally accepted theories, Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity, to be inconsistent and therefore not yet complete. If you say that I am wrong about that, or that I have no right to say it if I haven't sifted through all of the papers, equations, and pros and cons, we won't be able to agree on that. You can ignore me or flame me of course, and I already have a few members on my ignore list (I do peek and remove people from ignore, so don't go away mad). If you insist that you have proof of something that is not generally acknowledged by the scientific community, I won't go off on some tangent with you about it if I don't want to (start your own thread). You already probably think I have preconceived ideas of how some science enthusiasts will respond to this thread, and you are right, and if you stay on topic and don't mind if I ignore comments, say anything you want.
I want to start describing the model by defining space, time, the medium, waves, and particles, using hypotheses that describe them one by one. These hypotheses will contain the definitions with words and phrases that apply here and any definition that you may have that differs is fine with me but it doesn't apply to my model of the foundational medium hypothesis unless you can show why it should to my satisfaction. If anyone doesn't like how I conduct this thread or thinks I am ignorant, deluded, or arrogant, I won't dispute that. I can live with that. If you are a dick about things then the moderators are your best recourse if I ignore you. I don't expect to get a pass for any infractions of the rules on my part, and I don't expect any attention to be paid to rules infractions on your part; I view that as a fact of forum life for a layman who wants to discuss alternative ideas, and that is not a comment or criticism of how moderation might or might not be applied.
The mathematics that apply is any math that deals with space in the three dimensions of length, width, and height. I don't think there is anything special about that type of space that requires college level math to describe it, but I am a college grad and an accountant so I claim average layman math skills and am out of practice on the terms and conditions. Anyone who wants to help me with words and phrases so that the intent of my meaning can reach more people, please do. I make no claims of any superior or special knowledge or skills, and I don't plan for this thread to involve much heavy math, though I encourage you to present your views mathematically if you want. If your math doesn't pertain to my definitions and hypotheses, I won't try to sort it out. If it does apply, I will.
