Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the participant's claim of having confirmed a theory that challenges Einstein's view on the constancy of light, suggesting it varies with spatial regions. The implications of this theory are said to affect estimations of the universe's age. The participant seeks guidance on how to publish this work in a significant journal.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant claims to have confirmed a theory that light is not constant, proposing significant implications for cosmology.
  • Another participant expresses skepticism about the theory and suggests that the original poster may not know how to navigate the publication process.
  • The original poster acknowledges the skepticism but believes the topic may be too advanced for some to grasp.
  • A later reply challenges the notion that the topic is beyond the understanding of the forum members, asserting that many are familiar with calculus and linear algebra.
  • The original poster mentions using advanced techniques in their work but refrains from sharing details due to concerns about intellectual property and potential recognition.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express skepticism regarding the validity of the original claim, indicating a lack of consensus on the theory's acceptance or understanding within the community.

Contextual Notes

The discussion reflects varying levels of confidence in the original claim and the publication process, with no resolution on the theory's validity or the appropriateness of the proposed publication approach.

Hello,

I have been working very hard over the past few weeks and have managed to confirm a theory I have been harboring for a long time (mainly, that Einstein was incorrect about light and that it is in fact not a constant but varies according to the region of space you are in). This has profuse implications of course, mainly dealing with estimating the age of our universe. I rechecked the calculations twice so I know they are correct. Can someone tell me who I could contact to get this published in some big journal or something?

Read this thread, and don't be surprised of plenty of people are skeptical, especially since you don't know what to do here.

Zz.

Thank you for the link. I understand if people are skeptical since this is a very advanced topic and it is likely over their heads, but hopefully it will be more clear to them in the future :)

Oh, I doubt that it is over their heads :wink:

Well you would be surprised as I used some very advanced techniques such as calculus and matrix algebra. I would show it to you but I can not yet as it will (hopefully) one day net me a prize [maybe a Nobel o:)] though I can not risk having it exposed. I am sure you understand.
 
No offense but I don't think you'll meet too many people on this board that don't understand calculus/linear algebra.
