    Critique of Mainstream Cosmology

    Hi Garth. I will put it on the arXiv one of these days. At least I guess I will. Concerning the "exceptionally simple", I was joking of course :biggrin: Paul

    Critique of Mainstream Cosmology

    PS : there is an exceptionally simple quantitative hypothesis :approve: that seems able to account for all of those phenomena apparently related to the Hubble parameter.

    Critique of Mainstream Cosmology

    Hi Garth. There is another thing that could be related to Hubble parameter. It is not as clear as it is in the examples you provide, but it could be worth examining it. You will find the thing there : http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0608202 The drift rates in today's Cryogenic Sapphire...

    Alternative theories being tested by Gravity probe B

    Hello Garth, I just want to say that you deserve my deepest respect. You have accepted the experimental verdict and I know that it is not easy. I wish that someday you make a big discovery, you really deserve it. Paul

    Are the Cosmological Coincidences Just a Matter of Chance?

    I absolutely agree with you Garth. Paul

    Are the Cosmological Coincidences Just a Matter of Chance?

    Hello Garth, This is indeed much interesting. If we combine it with the anomalous Pioneer acceleration a_p which is almost equal to H_0 c, all of this could indicate that GR is not the more appropriate tool to understand cosmological matters. Paul

    Alternative theories being tested by Gravity probe B

    Hi Garth, The smaller the value of \lambda, the higher the value of \Omega_T will be. Can you tell us which is the highest value of \Omega_T you would consider acceptable ? This would provide a minimum acceptable value of \lambda and a maximum acceptable value for the geodetic precession. Paul

    Thank you very much Jim ! It gives me a better picture of what's going on. Paul

    Alternative theories being tested by Gravity probe B

    Hi Kris, If we look at the upper chart ("Torque Modeling Example : Motion of Gyroscope 3"), the dashed line is referred to as the "estimated relativistic motion" and it is clearly not flat. Therefore, whatever the numbers on the axes, I guess we can conclude that their "best value" for...

    Alternative theories being tested by Gravity probe B

    Salut Fred, Do you mean to say that they would have spent 800 millions dollars to send GP-B in space with the intent of not giving the results if these were contradictory with GR ? :confused: There is no secret about it, it's the e-mail address provided on GP-B Web site...

    Total energy of an excited nucleus?

    Hi _Andreas If m is the rest mass of the nucleus in its ground state and Eex1 is the energy difference between the first excited state and the ground state, the answer is Yes. Paul

    Alternative theories being tested by Gravity probe B

    Hi Kris, Of course they probably know more than they say, but something sure, they won't give a "best value" for frame-dragging before they are ready to do so. Until they do, we can only speculate. Paul

    Alternative theories being tested by Gravity probe B

    Thanks a lot Kris ! That's really interesting. I will check on the GP-B web site. By the way, I have received the answer to my question from GP-B Web Site Curator: for the moment now, they got no "best value" for the frame-dragging effect. Paul

    Alternative theories being tested by Gravity probe B

    Hi Kris, Do you mean to say that the spin of the four gyroscopes have been initially aligned in the same direction ? That sounds strange :confused: Paul
