20160413 Writing for the Progressive Science Institute
Occasionally,
we get inquiries from aspiring writers who wish to write for PSI. Some wish to
have us review their work. So I thought it was time that I presented some guidelines
for those interested in doing that.
Guest
bloggers generally are members of PSI who have demonstrated their understanding
of "The Ten Assumptions of Science”[1]
(TTAOS), univironmental determinism, and neomechanics.[2] Usually, they
have asked astute questions and commented appropriately on this Blog site.
Writing is thinking, so you must be thinking about the “big questions”
addressed here. Not only that, but you must be thinking along lines that show
you are firmly grounded on the fundamental assumptions that we use.
Transgressing any one of them generally gets the circular file, whether in the
first paragraph or the last.
For
example, regressive scientists often write about what I call “matterless
motion,” a concept that is a clear violation of the Fourth Assumption of
Science, inseparability (Just as there is no motion without matter, so
there is no matter without motion). We just saw a demonstration of that with
recent claims about the LIGO
experiment detecting gravitational waves that purportedly “compressed and
expanded empty space.” The experiment proved, instead, that there is an aether
and that gravitation is a push, not a pull.
Do
not get me wrong, I love speculation as much as anyone, but I try to adhere to
univironmental speculation. That is what Steve Puetz and I did aplenty in "Universal
Cycle Theory: Neomechanics of the Hierarchically Infinite Universe,”[3]
discovering the physical cause of gravitation in the process.[4]
We need more investigations like that, even if we cannot afford high-priced
instruments to prove our univironmental predictions. We may as well get those
predictions out there as soon as possible—the window of opportunity will close
in a few decades. Regressive physics and cosmogony will not be with us forever.
The end is near, particularly, with books like Steve Bryant’s “Disruptive”
pointing out that relativity is riddled with critical math errors and
completely unnecessary.
That is our mission: To get
rid of relativity and the Big Bang Theory. I explained where PSI fits into this
quest in Blog
20160210. The jist of that puts us on the progressive side
of the philosophical spectrum that purports to be “scientific.” It looks like
this:
Progressive
Reformist Regressive
As progressives, we are only a
tiny fraction of that spectrum. Remunerated physicists and cosmogonists in the
mainstream seem to be on the regressive side—they actually do believe that
Einstein is right and that the universe started with a big
bang. Of the 8,000 dissidents who cannot stomach relativity or quantum mechanics,[5]
most appear to be reformists. That is, they dislike some parts of those
theories, but wish to retain other parts. Like agnostics in general, reformists
tend to mix deterministic and indeterministic fundamental assumptions, coming
up with a hodgepodge that often is not much better than the unbelievable regressive
theories.
Note that in Blog
20150909 I compiled a list of neomechanical impossibilities that you might
want to avoid while writing for PSI. On the other hand, we greatly encourage
writers to explore what I call the neomechanical possibilities, as mentioned in
Blog
20150916.
All in all, writing about the
foibles of regressive physics and cosmogony is great fun. You do not have to be
a physicist or cosmologist, just an expert on TTAOS. Even a rock star like Rick
Dutkiewicz can poke the big bang giant with some telling arrows. Check out his Blog
20120620 chastising a book entitled “A Universe From Nothing.” The author, famous cosmogonist
Lawrence Krauss, wrote of matter fluctuating in and out of existence. In response,
Rick’s best line was “I think his reasoning has
random fluctuations of insanity.” I hope you can do as well.
