Re: dark energy... (Pasti)

maybe you misunderstood...

let me see if i can say it again and remove the ambiguity that could easily have been confusing in retrospect

"you don’t KNOW what you’re talking about, pasti...at least not with nearly the degree of confidence that you portray with your words above"

and by that i do not mean that you are not educated in the field; your posts indicate very obvious familiarity with some serious stuff...that is not in dispute (at least not at my end)

what is in dispute is whether or not you or anyone else KNOWS that stuff to be true

your training was framed in a paradigm; that paradigm was reinforced by the views of your profs and their's by their profs and all of you apparently forget how HUGE is the number of assumptions (and not a few of them a priori and still others axiomatic) involved in relativity and other cosmological models

in regard to the number of folks that understand gr, i have heard it said by more than a few qualified people that there are but a handful (literally) or less in the world that actaully grasp much of what einstein proposed

still others, though less but still more than a few, have said that einstein didn't even understand his theory fully

then there are still others that seriously say einstein plagiarized most of it

further, hoyle's steady state is not what i was looking for...and you right, it don't work either (even though he was galantly trying to revive it prior to his relatively recent demise)

and the alternative proposals in the articles i referenced (and i'm pretty sure the MOND guy posted to this forum several times in either the last or the second to the last archive of this board) do not represent my thinking either; they are sitll billions of years guys at heart

what those articles do point out, and very well, is that there is chaos in the field...the alleged consensus masks myriad problems of no small consequence...there ARE lots of conflicts

and be not in doubt anymore, if you were previously...there are serious problems with inflationary big bang jazz :-)

i stand by my post most immediately above, which was in reponse to yours

you have talent that i will never possess to be able to work in your chosen field of quantum gravitation, and i commend you for that (in part because mine is no meager mind; it just don't twist thataway :-)...but i am here to remind you that there is still much to be learned about quantum physics and we know far far far less about gravity

about the only thing we really know about cosmology is that...we don't KNOW very much at all :-)
