Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of subquantum kinetics and its potential as an alternative to the Big Bang theory. Participants explore the validity and evidence surrounding this idea, questioning its scientific standing and comparing it to historical scientific controversies.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions the evidence supporting subquantum kinetics and its links to Dr. LaViolette, suggesting it may be an idea that could gain traction similar to the Continental Drift theory.
  • Another participant makes a humorous reference to the idea being beyond the standard model, indicating a perception of its speculative nature.
  • A participant draws a parallel between the skepticism faced by early innovators and the current reception of subquantum kinetics, though they also express skepticism about the comparison.
  • There are repeated references to a pendulum and energy measurement, though the context remains unclear and seems disconnected from the main topic.
  • A later post indicates that the question posed in the title has been answered, leading to a closure of the thread.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the validity and potential of subquantum kinetics, with no clear consensus reached regarding its scientific merit or future acceptance.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express skepticism about the credibility of the proponents of subquantum kinetics, and the discussion includes humorous asides that may detract from the seriousness of the topic.

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.

.Any other questions?

This is well beyond the beyond the standard model. (It's not a typo.) :oldbiggrin:

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...
