The discussion centers around skepticism regarding a blog post about a young Nepali scientist, Rijan Karki, who claims to have developed a new theory on gravitational force. Participants express boredom and doubt about the validity of the claims, suggesting that the article lacks substantial scientific backing and is poorly written. There is a consensus that the article appears to promote nationalism rather than genuine scientific achievement, with some participants labeling Karki's ideas as "crackpot" theories. Concerns are raised about the absence of credible sources, particularly the lack of recognition from established scientific institutions like NASA. The conversation also touches on the challenges of communication, particularly for non-native English speakers, and frustrations about being ignored in discussions that lack factual support. Overall, the thread reflects a critical view of the claims made in the blog post and questions the motivations behind its promotion.

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
