“COVID-19 Is Transmitted Through Aerosols. We Have Enough Evidence, Now It Is Time to Act”

PSI Blog 20200831 “COVID-19 Is Transmitted Through Aerosols. We Have Enough Evidence, Now It Is Time to Act”

Here is a follow-up on my PSI Blog 20200601 “Coronavirus Hates the Outdoors” on aerosol virus transmission. It is an excellent article written by by Jose-Luis Jimenez for Time.

Note his point that Chapin’s 1910 denigration of aerosol transmission is still mainstream, despite aerosols being primary for measles and TB. WHO and the CDC have remained in the dark ages with regard to aerosols. This myopic conservatism is similar to what has infected cosmogonists and regressive physicists. Unfortunately, in this case it has led to thousands of deaths. Governors close beaches, but open bars. Egads! As I summed it up 3 months ago: DON’T BREATHE BAD AIR!

No, change that calc--universe to end in trillions of years

Thanks to Don Leatham for this heads-up. Now we can all feel better with that extra time since last week’s Blog about a cosmogonist who calculated the universe might end in a few billion years or in the next few seconds.

https://www.foxnews.com/science/heres-when-sad-lonely-end-of-universe-will-happen

“The universe will end in this way, at this time, researcher says”

“It will happen sometime over the "next few trillion years"”

“It [the universe] will be a bit of a sad, lonely, cold place,” the study's lead author, theoretical physicist Matt Caplan, said in a statement. “It’s known as ‘heat death,’ where the universe will be mostly black holes and burned-out stars.”

Just more BS from another regressive physicist who, like all the others, invariably misinterprets the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which only applies to isolated systems. That interpretation, of course, is based on the indeterministic assumption of finity. Once you use the correct assumption, all your calculations become worthless—the universe is not isolated. The correct Assumption is infinity (The universe is infinite, both in the microcosmic and macrocosmic directions). The Second Law of Thermodynamics then has an obvious complement, as I explained in:

Borchardt, Glenn, 2008, Resolution of the SLT-order paradox, in Proceedings of the Natural Philosophy Alliance, Albuquerque, NM [http://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.1.1413.7768].

The gist of it is this. All things are in motion toward other things or away from other things. “Disorder” is produced when things come apart; “order” is produced when things come together. In the infinite universe, the Second Law of Thermodynamics describes the first process and its complement describes the second.

But don’t hold your breath. We will be hearing about this “end of the universe” nonsense as long as the Big Bang Theory reigns supreme.

More “End of the Universe” Crap

PSI Blog 20200817 More “End of the Universe” Crap

Discredit: New Scientist

Readers know the universe is infinite—it had no beginning and will have not end. And they also know that “Dark Energy” was invented to save the Big Bang Theory—energy does not exist; it is a calculation. I was especially amused by New Scientist pushing the following two propaganda pieces in their lecture series. They even have the nerve to charge 12£ for such nonsense.

https://go.glennborchardt.com/End-Universe-Crap

Here it is straight from the “national enquirer of science”:

"THE END OF THE UNIVERSE

We know the universe had a beginning and physicists agree that one day it will end, but how will it finish? Will our universe collapse in upon itself, rip itself apart, or even – in the next five minutes – succumb to an inescapable expanding bubble of doom?

Drawing on cutting-edge theory and brand new results from the most powerful telescopes and particle colliders, theoretical astrophysicist Katie Mack, explores five possible finales for the universe and what they would look like  (if anyone were still around to see them): the Big Crunch, Heat Death, Vacuum Decay, the Big Rip and the Bounce.”

Included in your ticket is exclusive access to additional on demand lecture...

WILL DARK ENERGY DESTROY THE UNIVERSE?

After 14 billion years, you might expect the expansion of the cosmos to be slowing down.  Professor of astrophysics at the University of Sussex, Kathy Romer describes the mysterious substance, known as dark energy, that seems to be causing the universe to rip itself apart and introduces a new generation of industrial-scale international astronomy projects seeking to explore the underlying physics.”

Egads!

Sorry this email notification came too late for you to enjoy this latest attempt to spread Cosmogonical Fake News. Oh well, maybe they will have a video you could watch for giggles.

No kidding: “A Cosmological Revolution is Coming”

PSI Blog 20200810 No kidding: “A Cosmological Revolution is Coming”

From time to time even New Scientist presents what is supposed to be an anti-Big Bang article. The most recent is one with this title and subtitle:

“The four puzzles that tell us a cosmological revolution is coming"

"A century ago, we missed the loose threads that told us our picture of the universe would unravel. Let’s not be so complacent now, says cosmologist Dan Hooper”

  

https://go.glennborchardt.com/Cosmo-rev

This is the usual compilation of all the silly interpretations that make the Big Bang Theory as fragile as an egg from a malnourished hen on the edge of a precipice. And also, as usual, Hooper comes up with no resolution of the mess. The obvious assumption that the universe is infinite totally escapes him. He even repeats the old fake news that “Hubble discovered the universe was expanding:”

“In 1929, Edwin Hubble observed that the universe is in fact changing. Every galaxy is receding from us: every two points in space are getting farther apart from each other as time advances. The universe is expanding.”

Except for the misstep in the title of his initial paper, Hubble continued to deny he discovered any such thing. He always thought, correctly, that light from distant galaxies simply lost energy over distance, resulting in the cosmological redshift. Hooper ought to read the literature.

I don’t recommend your reading this piece unless you need a refresher on the current cosmogonical propaganda.

Crisis in cosmology by Eric Lerner

PSI Blog 20200803 Crisis in cosmology by Eric Lerner

Thanks to Don Briddell for this heads-up:

 

https://youtu.be/3KkhRibBllU

This is the first in a series of videos on the crisis by Eric Lerner, the physicist who blew the whistle with his prescient book:

Lerner, E.J., 1992, The Big Bang never happened: New York, Vintage Books, 440 p.

I did a detailed critical review of physics Prof. Victor Stenger’s regressive review of Lerner’s book here:

https://go.glennborchardt.com/Rev-of-Stenger-rev-of-Lerner

Eric’s videos go into much detail pointing out the Big Bang Theory’s failure to provide accurate predictions. For example, the He and Li measurements are 10 to 25 standard deviations removed from BBT predictions. He shows a huge increase in “cosmological crisis awareness” mentioned in 2019 articles, but unfortunately, I was not able to confirm that with a simple Google search. In any case, the falsifications and contradictions keep piling up.
