AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around an individual's interest in theoretical physics, specifically regarding a personal theory on dark matter and energy that questions the existence of the Big Bang and seeks to explain gravitational behavior within galaxies. The response emphasizes that the forum is not suited for personal theories and suggests focusing on mainstream cosmological discussions instead. It highlights the low likelihood of independently discovering revolutionary ideas without a solid understanding of current scientific knowledge. The thread was ultimately locked, directing the individual to existing insights on the topic and comparing the situation to an unsolicited tryout for a professional sports team, indicating that such inquiries are typically not welcomed in established scientific communities.

hi unlike probably every one else on this forum, I am neither a scientist, a student, nor a teacher. What I am is very interested in theoretical physics.
Any way what I would like to know or would like help with is where or who I could approach with a theory on dark matter/ energy which questions if there ever was a Big Bang and solves why everything within galaxies has gravity and the galaxies themself do not or cannot move around one another. I just really want someone to say either I'm wrong and why? Or I am right and it is so simple it's ridiculous. Thanks in advance

Galaxies can and do move around one another.

That's not what we do here on PF. If you would like to discuss which mainstream cosmological theories there are, you are free to do so. However, if you're trying to talk about a personal theory or idea then you've come to the wrong forum. You can contact myself or another mentor if you are unsure if you're questions involve mainstream science or not.

Thread locked.
 
I suggest you read this insight: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/wont-look-new-theory/
The chances you have figured out something revolutionary are miniscule. In particular if you are not aware of the state of the art.

There was a comparison in the discussion thread which was quite spot on. If you call a professional football club and ask for a tryout, what do you think their response would be?

Since there is an Insight on the subject and it has been asked over and over on this forum, this thread is closed.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
