Science Forums 2

[sanctus]

Coldcreation,
you raise a good point there, ie. how to judge where something belongs? I personally think (but started a discussion amongst mods on this subject) that the mod and admins of a given forum can judge, adecision which can always be contested by contacting an admin or a mod.
A thumb-rule I would say that if you have a well presented theory and you are not sure where to post it, then post it in the given forum. If it is not a theory which has already been discussed in detail before, probably it will stay there.
Also, the idea of making the alternative theories forum was to have a place to put some threads, but without making it a sort of punishment to the thread starter as it was with the strange claims forum. The aim is to have here still a scientific discussion, while in SCF it is more open.

Now this makes me wonder is it already time to make subject-specific subforums here?

Don't hesitate to use the user's feedback dorum for any suggestions!

By the way is Linde's multiverse hypothesis, not just a possible generalisation of (chaotic?not sure anymore) inflation? So it wouldn't be really an alternative theory...
