Thank you both for understanding.

Hint: Nick is one of the worst crackpots around here, with no understanding of physics whatever. Judging from the few things I've read of OsherD so far, he is not much better.


I am so glad that there are
principles like the one that you both mentioned that guide true
teachers and students,

Both are not in the position to judge what principles should guide teachers and students.

title or degrees and gives evidence itself prime authority.

Fine. I'm all for giving evidence itself prime authority, and against abusing authority. When will you start to address the evidence? When will you even start to learn what the evidence actually is?


Follow the
evidence with a scientific objective open mind and I think that truth
will be revealed to us including who's overcomplicating it.


Indeed. When will you start?


There is
a principle in science called Occam's razor, and one variation says
"one should not increase beyond what is necessary, the number of
entities required to explain anything."

Agreed. Feel free to explain why the current theories in physics are *not* necessary to explain the observations. I.e. feel free to explain how one could explain the observations *without* such complex theories. Be quantitative, please.
