Arrogance of Elitism

Lets see if we can't correct your little tirad to sound more logical...Should read..."If the time comes when perhaps the highly intelligent physicist, who are directly working on the cosmic questions, can see fit to dumb-down their theories so that lesser educated simple folk like myself can understand it...we, I, Buzsaw, would be most grateful. As for now, the science behind cosmology is way over my head. I will no longer reveal my ignorance by pretending I understand any of these theories, nor will I presume that if I can't understand it, it does not mean the theory is wrong, it just means that I need to be better educated on the subject. I sincerely hope that I have not offended any of the physicist on this site who have tried so hard to help me, and I'll retreate to my books and ask questions when needed. My apologies --Buzsaw"What do you think Buz...better?

I thank you sir. Well, considering that people like cavediver or straggler are just simply trying to explain laws of physics to you, I don't think that would qualify them as being blasphemous. Perhaps you just aren't grasping the physics behind what they are explaining, or maybe you're just conceptualizing it incorrectly. I have read, and stayed with, your entire 10 page thread. From an outside perspective you just don't seem to understand what everyone was trying to explain to you and held to some pretty wrong ideas about space. Even if that were so, it does not change the fact that your theory is incorrect in it's concept of how spacetime works. If your only argument is that they should have been more gentle, I can assure you you will get no sympathy fom me. Showing bullheaded ignorance does not say much for you either Buz. Yes Buz but it's not their PoV, you see thats where you're confussing things a bit. What they are explaining pertains to General Relativity, GR is a law of physics. I am currently a first year physics student, so trust me I understand that the information is overwhelming. But, there is nothing wrong in admiting ones limits in any field of study. We are not born knowing therefore no one is expected to just know everything. If you showed some humility on the subject of physics and GR, perhaps they would be less arrogant, then again maybe not, but at least you'd have a better grasp of the physics behind spacetime.Just my humble opinion...

Ok. Then my reponse would be that the reason they consider it blasphemous is because you are attemting to overturn laws in physics with nothing more than assertions about space. Hence their feelings of contempt towards you.Original blasphemy was the disagreement with alegations about the nature of the world. The laws in physics are NOT alegations, they are tried and tested and confirmed to be Laws in nature. To go against these laws does not make you out to be an intellectual rebel of sorts like Galileo for example, it makes you look ignorant because you are only confussing what you think you understand about spacetime.But we live to battle another day and I'll look forward to you defending, or rather trying to defend, your definition of sTrAiGhT again.
