I have seen this "orbitsphere" thing before, just thought I would ask if anyone else here has.
Thanks

ZapperZ said:What is there to bebunk? The "model" is not falsifiable, meaning it isn't science. It makes NO testable predictions, nor does it even attempt to make any attempt to agree with existeing experimental evidence (you know what "experimental evidence", don't you?)
My question is, why are you giving stuff like this free advertisement on here? Are you short on finding legitimate physics works to read?

Debunking means to prove something false or incorrect by providing evidence or logical arguments.
Yes, anyone can attempt to debunk a claim or theory by providing evidence or logical arguments against it. However, it is important to have knowledge and expertise in the relevant field to effectively debunk a claim.
Scientists use the scientific method to debunk claims or theories. This involves making observations, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, and analyzing data to come to a conclusion. If the evidence does not support the claim or theory, it can be debunked.
No, debunking is not always successful. Some claims or theories may be difficult to prove or disprove, and some people may continue to believe in them despite evidence to the contrary. Additionally, new evidence or information may emerge that challenges the previous debunking of a claim.
Debunking is important in science because it helps to separate fact from fiction. By debunking false claims or theories, scientists can ensure that accurate information is being shared and used to inform further research and advancements. It also helps to maintain the integrity of the scientific method and promote critical thinking and evidence-based reasoning.
