New person here, where do I post my own personal hypothesis?

[Legodudelol9a]

I've been studying astrophysics for fun for most of my life and have a ton of hypothesis that challenge conventional science that I'd like to share. Does this website accept that kind of thing, and if so where would I post them?

No, not here.

welcome @Legodudelol9a. There are plenty of sites on the innertoobs that will entertain personal hypotheses. This is not one of them.

But feel free to come in, look around, kick the tires.

Been kicking around for a while, any suggestions as to what websites I should try?

Any idea where I can put forwards my personal hypothesis based on my own observations in science? Tried a few sites to no avail.

No website that accepts this is worth a recommendation. You are not the first who thinks they can revolutionize physics based on some popular science descriptions and (more recently) AI tools praising everything you feed them. If you had the required knowledge to contribute anything useful, you wouldn't ask these questions here. Learning where to contribute to science comes years before producing something worth contributing.

Why are you wasting your time doing this instead of just learning what is already known?

In a DM I made the OP aware of viXra with all the reservations I could think of. Unsurprisingly he was not impressed. Conclude from that from you want.

 

[DaveC426913]

EDIT: Nah that was kicking down. Sorry.

This whole thread is kicking down.

A young, enthusiastic science buff should be guided toward learning, not pantsed and wedgied.

 

[sbrothy]

I agree. The OP should be properly explained what is wrong with his approach rather than made fun of. FTR I didn't make fun of him in my DM. I think sincerely hope he'll agree.

 

[sbrothy]

And FTR again I was kicking down at viXra!

 

[DaveC426913]

And FTR again I was kicking down at viXra!

I know.

This may be enlightening...

  As former editor of a physics education journal and coauthor of two relativity texts, I have had a lot of contact with what your article [B. Goodman, The Scientist, May 15, 1995, page 3] calls "dissident" scientists, many of whom attack special relativity. In my experience, most are extremely intelligent and inventive. Their arguments are ingenious, and any errors are often difficult to find. Still, there are two characteristics that I have found in many dissidents with whom I have communicated.

After some cleanup, the thread will remain closed.

@Legodudelol9a -- I will send you a DM with some possible forums you could try for posting your speculative ideas.
