Comment the list (but no links) (Score 1) 691

there aren't a lot of links. and I should say I am no expert. But from what I remember these were all failed predictions ==>

--background temperature -in pre-BB world this was correctly predicted (with slightly inaccurate math) to be 3K. BBers predicted values much higher. then when it was measured as 2.8k the BBers claimed they had said this all along

--distribution of galaxies - now observed, clustered not as predicted at all

--gravity waves : not found

--age of Universe: BBers keep waffling massively, see spinning on Hubble deep field, and what they would find

--neutrinos: I'm pretty sure they switched up on what they find, involving these particles, too

up next, the phantom Higgs Boson? I say yes.

Comment these guys cannot handle the truth (Score 1) 691

A few years ago, during the construction, one of the LHC bigwigs gave a speech (which I later read). At the end he said (paraphrased)

  "if the Higgs boson does not exist, we will have to invent it".

He was half-joking I suppose, but that is what they are trying now, basically

I have thought for years, partly via observation of their psychology, that the underlying theory must have serious holes. I suspect the truth is:

1 the Higgs boson does not exist.
2 "dark matter" is BS
3 the Big Bang theory is wrong.

[btw, the Big Bang theory has an amazing number of failed predictions]

Comment not convincing. Why not just get to the bees? (Score 1) 419

You would have been a better Slashdotter to have cut the first two paragraphs (where you announce your limited credentials and then launch into a pet peeve about the autism issue).

Your last paragraph -actually about bees- is dense and unsupported.

And the bit 'despite what you learned in high school' is patronizing and probably inaccurate. This isn't a HS forum, and they don't teach about bee hierarchies and transposons there anyway.
