The article you reference is factually wrong on several levels all of which are probably to technical for you to follow Paul, but lets just say he is wrong at science on a massive number of levels.

Lubos Motl did a rather good technical reply aimed at Phil Gibbs blog.

Here is Phil Gibbs article

Here is Lubos response

The answer science mainstream takes is most definitely the one Lubos gives and that is probably going to go over your head.


The problem with all your whacky stupid physics is you don't really think things thru before typing blatantly stupid answers


Consider this blatant stupidity that a child can see the problem with

There is no friction in space for example little voyager 1 and 2 are sailing off to leave our universe and assuming they doesn't hit anything which is highly unlikely given the space in the universe they will travel on forever

The odds of voyagers running into anything like a sun and getting captured is 1 in billions and they have plotted its path out for thousands of years. Voyager 2 is known to have an encounter in 40000 years from now

There is no sign of them slowing down or losing any momentum along with all the calculations and maths on comets and other celestial bodies showing the same feature.

So only you would be stupid enough to propose that we ignore all the data and evidence to the contrary and believe Paul because he has a feeling momentum is lost somehow in space by interactions.

Science doesn't make arguments on garbage that ignores all data we leave that to religious nutcases and science whack jobs.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
