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.

Let me make this clear. When I spend ages putting together a good post with hard facts and people simply ignore it, it bugs me. I get annoyed. Rightly so.

People are selective in what they see as fact, escpecially when the facts disagree with with what they believe. This is BS and should be locked. And so should the post about Wind turbine in a building.

Okay, but I don't see what you are talking about? What post with hard facts?

All I see is a post where you rip on this guy's English over and over and then try to make the deduction that since his English is equally as bad the writer of the blog's, then they must be the same person.

You're right, this guy is the only person on that side of the Earth with poor English. I apologize, it is a well-thought post.

Your award is in the mail.

Read my original two posts. The first simply gives my opinion on things, the second gives a rebuttle to the guy with the OP who claimed I misinterpreted his non-existant opinion. The facts are that I gave a perfectly logical argument and was ignored. Yes, I mentioned the guys english, but only in the sense that I couldn't make out what he mean't with a particular statement.

Let's go back to that post

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'.

I'll count this as a fact. Time to research: Probably zero

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

Another fact. But time to research: zero

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.

Time to research: zero

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

Time to research: zero

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.

Time to research: zero

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.

Time to research: zero

Sorry, your claim of

Is just wrong. You didn't spend ages putting that post together, and it's not a perfectly logical argument with hard facts, it's just a running commentary that happens to be true. I don't know why you're waiting for a Pulitzer award
