I was just thinking about this, as well. What about for someone like me who had pre-calculus 20 years ago and hasn't done any hard math since? Should I start with pre-calculus again to sharpen my math skills, move on to actual calculus, and then dive into the Intro to QM stuff? I'd really like...

On a scale of 1 to 10, how nonsensical is that stuff I quoted? Is it potentially true and just not proven, or is this stuff that is ridiculously on the fringe and almost certainly not true? Or is it even worse, just total nonsense?

Actually, two of these guys have written in many peer-reviewed journals. As I mentioned, the guy that wrote the foreward of the book is a professor emeritus from Stanford. But you are partially correct: they only write in the fringe journals now. That's why I came here. I figured you guys would...

I'm afraid to even mention the book. It's called The Orb Project by Micael Ledwith and Klaus Heinemann. I think the orb phenomenon is total BS, but I was challenged by Dr. William Tiller to read this book and then make a judgment. I agreed to read it, but it is filled with nonsense. For example...

I'm reading a book where the author is trying to make a point about torsion fields. I really don't know what that even is, but I know that you all do. :-) What I'm asking is for you to read a couple of paragraphs and let me know if this even sounds plausible or if it is pseudoscientific...

Okay, my head hurts now. ;-)

Here's an interesting link on this topic that I just found: http://www.eadon.com/phil/univedge.php It points out that the universe is expanding faster than light. Is that true, as far as we know? The other interesting point he makes is that from our perspective there is no center of the...

As a follow-up, let's assume that there is no boundary from our perspective. Let's also assume that the Big Bang actually happened and that the universe is expanding like a balloon. Based on the motion of celestial bodies, it should be fairly simple to determine the center of the universe and...

I don't grasp that concept at all. Assuming that the Big Bang is true, then the universe, space-time, is expanding like a huge balloon. I'm wondering what it would be like to be right to the surface of the balloon as it expands. Are you saying that the balloon is expanding, but there is no...

If the universe is expanding, meaning that space-time itself is expanding, what would you see if you were at the edge of space-time looking out? Would it just be blackness? Would there even be a boundary from our perspective? And if you were at the edge, what would happen if you tried to move...
