SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of subquantum kinetics and its potential as an alternative to the Big Bang theory. Participants express skepticism regarding the validity of subquantum kinetics, primarily referencing Dr. LaViolette's work, which lacks substantial evidence. The conversation draws parallels to historical scientific debates, such as Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory, suggesting that while the idea may have merit, it currently lacks empirical support. Ultimately, the consensus is that subquantum kinetics remains a speculative theory without definitive proof.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Big Bang theory
  • Familiarity with Dr. LaViolette's theories
  • Basic knowledge of scientific methodology and evidence evaluation
  • Awareness of historical scientific controversies, such as continental drift
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Dr. LaViolette's publications on subquantum kinetics
  • Explore the scientific community's response to alternative cosmological theories
  • Study the historical context of Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory
  • Investigate current empirical evidence supporting or refuting the Big Bang theory
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, cosmologists, and anyone interested in alternative theories of the universe's origins, as well as those examining the scientific process of theory validation.

TL;DR
Looking for any info on subquantum kinetics and Paul Laviolette? His credentials seem legitimate, but ...
Is there any evidence to support the idea of subquantum kinetics and alternative it provides to the Big Bang? Most publications which touch on it seem to link back to Dr. LaViolette so that seems odd to me. Has this idea been disproven or is there a chance this is a Continental Drift, Alfred Wegener situation where someone has an idea that may yet gain support, but the evidence just isn't there yet? Sorry if this is a silly question, but this seemed like the best place to get this type of info.

The problem with "they laughed at the Wright Brothers" is that they also laughed at the Three Stooges.

I have a hard time trusting people who wear hats indoors that are meant to block the sun. What do they know that I don't know...
