OK, contrary to what I said, as an old Aussie mate you do deserve an answer.
I really appreciate that you have made your post.
Firstly, no I'm not upset,
Well that makes me happy.
I have another friend who gets upset and it seems to drive up his blood pressure and I spend so much time trying to keep him calm so I am programed to respond in a calming manner due I expect because I am always doing that with him.
Let me also say Alex old chum, that while obviously a facetious remark, I am not anywhere near an expert in GR,
I can understand you may think it a facetious remark but you must know that I do think you are very knowledgable in respect to GR and I have witnessed you discuss it in a manner that would have folk such as myself say that you are expert but maybe I could have been more cautious in the use of the word in all the circumstances..but I wasnt having a shot ..if I was you would know it☺.the main thing is I did not mean for you to take it that way.
but I also don't accept that if it wasn't still the overwhelmingly accepted theory of gravity, then we would have a myriad of scientists pointing out the flaws and stepping in line for the Nobel prize.
Well even a mug like me understands that.
GR is the current model of gravity and as I understand things if you want to present a model to replace it (or indeed any scientific model) you need to offer more, much more than the model you seek to replace ... there is a lot more to it but I am sure you probably understand it as well if not better than me.
It does surprise me though Alex that you could even entertain such nonsensical tripe as have any validity whatsoever.
Well I never thought about that stuff until I looked at something on utube re building no 7 and recalled my intial reaction when I first saw (on the day) no 7 come down and thought back then it looked like the perfect demo...it still does to me looks like the perfect demo so I found it interesting many others thought similar... but the difference with me and others is I can think that it was and was not at the same time.
If anyone could look at building no 7 and say that it looks nothing like a controlled demo then all I can say is they have never seen a controlled demo...now that is not saying it was a controlled demo it is saying it looks like a controlled demo...
There is no new evidence,
I think what the Lawyers and the Architects are saying is the evidence they have was not considered by the commission.
My biggest fault Alex [if it is a fault] is I hate bullies!
Hardley a fault in my book.
Let me say, as an Aussie, please rethink your silly stance re even consideration of this 9/11 nonsense.
I dont have a stance as you put it.
No 7 looks like a controlled demo to me and to anyone who looks at it I expect...what do you want me to say...that it looks nothing like a controlled demo?
I said the molten metal looks like steel..to me..what do you want me to say...that it looks like alluminium when to me it does not?
I dont think one thing and say another.
And as I said I dont care one way or the other...if it was an inside job I trust that is what needed to be done to support and protect our side...but honestly I am not that interested. ..anyways I do see the Grand Jury aspect as positive in so far the "truthers" will get their concerns reviewed which is what should have been done in the first place.
Leave it to the nutbags!
I think the folk in the vid re the Grand Jury news are a cut above nutbags really (look at their qualificatiins and experience) certainly not your average nut job...but one thing seems certain which is they have concerns and are doing something to have those concerns addressed...well intentioned people should be encouraged not ridiculed.
It is so good to at least hear that you are doing well.
In my view this site has sufferred by you not being here.
I dont get my science from here these days and now come here to chat with theists and to try and understand how they see the world and approach arguement.
Its fill in time between astronomy stuff.
If you get the chance please look at the astrophotos that I have been managing to produce in the astronomy section under narrow band imaging.
I hope you can somehow put behind you what caused you to leave and participate here again which would be consistent with you standing up for what is right...I dont like to think that you were driven away.
No one would think less of you for changing your mind you know..in fact as far as I am concerned I would see a return not as an about face but as evidence that you can raise above the pettyness that got to you in the first place.
So please at least think about it...just think the welcome backs you would receive and the folk who would return to the site.
All the best.
Alex
