Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the claims made about Rijan Karki, a young scientist from Nepal, and the validity of his purported theories on gravitational force and the universe's lifecycle. Participants express skepticism regarding the credibility of the article and the scientist's ideas, questioning the quality of the information presented and the motivations behind sharing it.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants find the article and its claims about Rijan Karki to be uninteresting or poorly presented, suggesting it lacks captivating content.
  • Others speculate that the original poster may be seeking validation or praise for Karki or for Nepal, questioning the intent behind sharing the article.
  • A participant expresses confusion over the terminology used in the article, particularly the phrase "new theory on 'gravitational force'," and questions the credibility of the claims made.
  • Some participants describe Karki as a "smart but ignorant high school kid" with ideas that resemble "crackpot" theories, suggesting that the media attention he receives may be unwarranted.
  • Concerns are raised about the lack of substantial scientific backing for Karki's claims, with calls for peer-reviewed articles and proper proofs to support any presented formulas.
  • One participant highlights that Karki's theory combines ideas from Einstein and Newton, but expresses skepticism about the validity of the claims and the lack of credible sources.
  • Another participant calculates the force of gravity using Karki's equation, finding it implausible and suggesting that it indicates a need for a repulsive force, which raises further doubts about the theory's accuracy.
  • There is a mention of the absence of credible sources or recognition from established scientific institutions, leading to accusations of the claims being a scam.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally express skepticism and disagreement regarding the validity of Rijan Karki's claims and the quality of the article. There is no consensus on the merits of his theories, and multiple competing views remain about the motivations behind the discussion and the credibility of the claims made.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of detailed information about Karki's theories, the absence of peer-reviewed support for his claims, and the reliance on a blog post as the primary source of information. Participants also note the poor quality of writing in the article, which may contribute to misunderstandings.

I agree with russ. Boring, nothing particularly captivating there.

If you want my interpretation on things, I'd say (given I don't know you) that you are this person and simply want everyone to say 'amazing' or praise you up.

Or you are from the country in the report and simply want people to praise up your country for giving such a "brilliant" physicist. If you can call him that.

The above statements related mainly to the fact you name the thread "What do you think about this?", as if its amazing and your bragging up the person (whether you or not) or the country.

But then again I could be wrong, you could just be wanting an opinion. Just seems a really random thing for someone to post. Especially given that it doesn't give us any information on his theories, but is simply an article about him.
 


Maybe it's just that the blog entry is written very poorly, but I have no idea what's going on here. What the heck is this "new theory on 'gravitational force'?" And why is "gravitational force" in quotes? The only research being done on gravity at the moment is the experiment on gravitational waves and the work into quantum gravity. If anything important had happened, you'd think the first place we'd hear about it would be somewhere other than a blog.
 


We've had people link this story before. A little background: though I am loath to call a high school kid a crackpot, essentially what we have here is a case of a smart but ignorant high school kid coming up with a crackpot idea and for some reason being picked up (apparently) by mainstream media in his country and lauded as the next Einstein.
 


I wonder who these "renowned local physicists" are.
 


Hopefully he doesn't let any attention he gets get to his ego because I'm guessing he's a bright kid but I strongly doubt he's the next Einstein at 16 years old

Ahh, this all makes sense now.

The problem with people in that part of the world is that since they don't have that many technological achievements to boast about, they tend to make up funny new age stuff and other propaganda to instill a sense of nationalism. I once had someone from India tell me that the Indians had invented spacecraft when Europeans were still in caves.

And I'm Indian, so I can say stuff like this without sounding offensive...right? :rolleyes:

I was hurt by your first quotes.

Acually I don't believe in this new theory.I was just try to Knowing ablot the actual news because here some members are from America and they know actual buzz going on
 
  • #12


Acually I was trying to highlight the main points of the article , that is
Natural energy converts into repulsive force, the universe has lifecycle like us
 
  • #13


And last of all there was given formulae FG=Mc2d
 
  • #14


Does formulae can be efficiently brought up without use of calculus??


And I am not making the buzz of nationality ,please do not misinterpret it

Well firstly, consider using the quote button on the RHS instead of posting multiple times in reply to me.
I would like to point out that America is not the only country that has an understanding of these things. Most eastern European countries are just as advanced and I would like to think they also 'know the buzz'.

At no point did you 'highlight the main points'. You simply gave a link and said 'feel free to give an interpretation'.

coverme said:

A formula doesn't mean anything on its own. You need the proofs and some information/data to back it up. Links to peer reviewed articles and journals to show the work has been properly checked.

coverme said:

Given the poor english in this statement I can't respond accurately without clarification of it.

coverme said:

You said 'Feel free to give interpretation ', I did. I can't misinterpret something without an original statement from yourself to misinterpret. You provided no opinion on your part and so it is impossible for me to misinterpret it.

Given your relatively low standard of english, combined with your last statement here, I would say you are something to do with this article/blog. Original statement stands.

To one from a non-science background, his theory states that like our life cycle, the universe also has its own life cycle that continues forever. According to him, natural energy converts into a repulsive force.

What?

He has combined the theories of Einstein and Newton to create his own theory which is being studied by the scientists in the U.S.

I would like to hear his speech. But an hours worth of googling has yielded nothing but the above, people claiming to be him, people claiming to be him accusing the people claiming to be him that they are not him and that it is not nice to do so, etc. etc.

Interesting though that if you actually calculate the force of gravity using his equation, you come up with 7.72 x 1034 Newtons at the surface of the earth. Which would explain why we need a repulsive force created by natural energy. Otherwise my bathroom scale is way off.

Thanks Omcheeto, I had wanted for this

You know, you would think that if I googled his name + NASA, it would come up on a NASA server somewhere. Since it does not, and this is such a "big deal" kid, I'm calling BS on this scam.

Only the Nepal Post picked up on this...really? I mean,....really?? Give me a break.

I'm sorry cyrus but I've been busting this guy's b*lls since he got here. I knew it wasn't real and yet I come back as a nothing.

Seriously, am I just generally being ignored on here.

BS = bu*lgarbage

Scam = deception

Why can't I find any articles with this guys name in it anywhere?...<raises one eyebrow>

I cannot tell you what that makes me think. You have provided a BS story and although I have proved you wrong I am being ignored. I have provided hard facts in a number of discussions and have been ignored. This is sickening,
Why do you allow this guy to continue when there is no point to this thread? This guy gives you the next 'einstein' and when googled he doesn't exist. Clearly fake.

Sorry for being ignored because English is my second language and this is my weakness(lack communication)
I express apology
In the Google I typed Reason Karki theory(latest report)
It might not be resulting because Google works country wise ,try above
