Is the LuniSolar theory a legitimate scientific theory?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the legitimacy of the LuniSolar theory, with participants expressing skepticism about its scientific validity. Concerns are raised regarding the credibility of the Binary Research Institute, suggesting that their terminology and methods indicate a lack of scientific rigor. Critics argue that the theory contradicts established Newtonian gravitational principles, making it difficult to substantiate. The inability of proponents to perform basic calculations is highlighted as a significant flaw in their arguments. Overall, the consensus leans towards viewing the LuniSolar theory as lacking in scientific credibility.

Any thoughts on this, fellas? I have not read the book nor viewed the documentary (narrated by James Earl Jones) but I have read a few articles, and, well, precision is a complex sport, so I am intrigued with the notion...I am no astronomer though, only have a layman's fascination.

Everything about this site tells me they're crackpots, including their terminology, their methods, their founder...

What's worse, they're disputing basic gravitational effects in the Newtonian limit. In order to disprove the "LuniSolar" theory, they would have to disprove Newtonian gravity. Their inability to perform calculations beyond the junior high school level is probably hurting them more than they realize.
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
