Post Questions and cautions

In reading your posts, jerrygg38, A couple of questions come to mind:
  • If the unit of charge in your theory is +/-7.062e-39 e, how does it explain the absence of any directly or indirectly measured elementary particle with charge other than 0, +/-1/3, +/- 2/3, and +/-1 e? (source: wikipedia article “list of particles”)
More important, however, is the following question:
  • Does your theory make any testable predictions different than well-accepted theories, such as standard particle physics or classical mechanics and electrodynamics? If so, what is such a prediction?
When posting at hypography, members need to follow the site rules, the first of which is
In general, back up your claims by using links or references.
This means that when you make claims such as

you must back them up with links or reference to credible sources.

Also, you mustn’t make up terms without explaining them in conventional terms.

As a general rule, you should avoid criticizing well accepted theory by calling it “silly”. You should not attempting to support your claim by bragging that you have solved problems that engineers were unable to solve, leading them to “believe you used witchcraft”, or that you have “solve the rubic cube by merely spinning the sides without any thought whatsoever”. In addition to being incredible and unsupported (problems that you could rectify by posting links or references to credible literature describing your apparently supernatural abilities, or, say, a youtube video of you solving a Rubic’s cube), such arguments are examples of a logical fallacy, which, as is also stated in the rules, are to be avoided.

If you are consistently unable to follow the site rules, your posting privileged at hypography will be suspended.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
