In a serious thread, a newbie brought up Carmelian cosmology and clearly thinks it's meaningful but in the brief look I gave it, it looks like nonsense, which is why I put this post in Skepticism & Debunking.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

EDIT: Never mind. I spent a few more minutes looking at it. It's lunacy.

It amazes me that people with that much physics experience, at least an undergrad degree in physics I'd say, can still be so convinced of things so crazy.
 
For the future, please note the "New rules and guidelines" sticky post at the top of this forum, which says, in part:

The purpose of the Skepticism and Debunking forum is to consider possible explanations for unexplained phenomena and discuss advertised product claims. [...] we do not discuss crackpot claims or personal theories. Threads that attempt to debunk crackpottery will be locked/deleted.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
