No neutrino gap.
I've already mentioned the neutrino gap in regards to our Sun. I heard about this myself years before I read LaViolette's books and wondered what it might mean.
Perhaps I can save you the trouble of worrying about this issue. The case of the missing neutrinos was solved at least 10 years ago, and the answer was anticipated maybe about 20 years ago. It turns out that there are three kinds of neutrinos produced by stellar fusion and that those detectors from 20 years ago only detected one of the three types. It has since been verified that the sun produces the expected number of neutrinos.
Bye-bye genic energy? Or at least there is one less place to find verification for the concept.
In a sense, your arguments are a "genic energy of the gaps" argument. You (and perhaps LaViolette) are looking at descriptions of old problems and filing in genic energy without looking to see if the problem has been filled in by conventional science (i.e. current science). Genic energy fits into the gap until conventional science and investigation advance to fill in the gap and push genic energy aside.
LaViolette can be forgiven if he made his predictions contemporary with the problems he identifies (at least in those cases where he is correct about the state of science when he made his prediction). But if you want to convince someone today that LaViolette was right back in 1978 or 1985, then LaViolette's predictions must be compared to current science and not to whatever scientist thought in 1978.
As an aside, your posts would be a little less confusing if you put my text inside of a [qs=NoNukes] [ /qs] set. Use a separate set of quotes for your own text from previous messsages.

One more point
Jovian planets' frozen moons that do not have elipitical orbits and therefore wouldn't be subject to the tidal gravitational forces
Tidal forces do not require eliptical orbits.

End of NoNuke's post.
Start of Trou's post.
If what you say is true about there being three types of neutrinos ( and this isn't just a continuation of the endless "force carrier parade") then I guess LaViolette and thereby myself are out of touch with the latest. As I mentioned I have a copy of Subquantum Kinetics last updated in 2003. I will look for more recent updates wherein he may address this data. Well it's been enjoyable anyway.

I was trying to get at what I thought Catholic Scientist was trying to get at with his question, "How so?" I'm asking for examples more than explanations.
I can use a thermometer or a calorimeter to detect and measure heat energy. I can use a telescope or a photocell to detect and measure light energy. What instrument(s) would I use to detect "genic energy"?

Re: No neutrino gap.
I am trying to contact Dr. LaViolette on his blog and get some updated answers to some of the questions here. Don't know how long that will take. But while at the Starburt Foundation site I came across a prediction that relates to the foundation of Subquantum Kinetics about spontaneous creation of particles of matter in the universe which is intregal to his entire theory and forms the basis for the"genic energy" hypothesis. Apparently his "Model G" reaction diffusion system theory has had some current verification regarding computer simulation. I present it here as something old and something new. Now I just need to find something "blue" eh?
Trou
Dissipative Solitons in Reaction-Diffusion Systems (1978 — 80): At this time when Model G was developed, no reaction-diffusion systems were known that were capable of producing autonomous self-stabilizing localized dissipative structures.
Prediction No. 12 (1978 — 80): LaViolette develops a Brusselator-like reaction-diffusion system called Model G as the main ether model for subquantum kinetics. Based on simulation work others had done on the Brusselator, he makes predictive extrapolations that Model G is capable of producing autonomous, self-stabilizing localized dissipative structures — dissipative solitons — that have a bell-shaped core surrounded by an asymptotically declining periodicity of precise wavelength. Also he predicts that these solitons should be able to bind to one another, spawn progeny particles in their immediate vicinity, and move when subjected to a concentration gradient. Published in: 1985 (IJGS).
Verification (2010): M. Pulver conducts computer simulations of the Model G reaction system and confirms that it does produce dissipative solitons and shows that the resulting solitons have the above predicted characteristics. Results to be published by Pulver and LaViolette (2012). Other researchers in 1998 had published computer simulations of a nonlinear system of the FitzHugh-Nagumo type, showing that it could produce dissipative solitons capable of bonding, particle replication, and scattering. However, it is not clear that this system qualifies as a reaction-diffusion system. It is usually expressed as a set of partial differential equations instead of in a kinetic equation format, which leaves open the possibility that its variables might adopt negative values in the course of producing their dissipative solitons. Thus, besides being the first soliton-producing model to be proposed in the literature, Model G may also be the only true reaction-diffusion system to demonstrate the ability to produce dissipative solitons.

As I mentioned I have a copy of Subquantum Kinetics last updated in 2003. I will look for more recent updates wherein he may address this data. Well it's been enjoyable anyway.
According to Wikipedia two types of neutrino had been discovered by 1962, the third was predicted in 1975 and proved to exist in 2000 neutrino
In 1962 Leon M. Lederman, Melvin Schwartz and Jack Steinberger showed that more than one type of neutrino exists by first detecting interactions of the muon neutrino
The first detection of tau neutrino interactions was announced in summer of 2000 by the DONUT collaboration at Fermilab
Also, the neutrino problem was explained in 2001 - and the explanation had supporting evidence by 1998, although by my own memory the solution had been proposed before then.
Neutrino oscillation
...neutrino oscillation was not conclusively identified as the source of the deficit until the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory provided clear evidence of neutrino flavor change in 2001.
I would have thought that a 2003 update would have had time to deal with this issue. It would have been impossible for anyone following physics news in the mainstream media to have missed the reports from the Sudbury team (I saw them! Ghostly particle mystery 'solved'). And there was evidence of neutrino oscillations a few years before that. And the possibility that the problem was explained by neutrino oscillations goes back to the 1980s at least....
So, just looking at the points I've discussed, we've had one highly questionable "verification", one failed prediction being passed off as a success and a "solution" to a problem which had been solved more than a year before the revised text you are using was published. This is not an impressive record.

Re: Not enough.
Still can't conceive of a source other than your pal, hum?
He states what I thought was that "dust particle theory" except he's talking about something else and references it (Lerner, E."The Big Bang Never Happened". New York: Vintage, 992, p.156.).
Amusing. Lerner, of course, doesn't agree with LaViolette's physics. But Lerner's model, which is of course the dust particle hypothesis, fails miserably to explain observations . It predicts that high-red-shift radio sources would be terrifically blurred by the absorptions and re-emissions. And there are several more problems; See Errors in the "The Big Bang Never Happened": Lerner's model for the microwave background
He's making a case of course for an alternate explanation for the Microwave Background Radiation having some source other than the Big Bang. In his alternate theory matter and energy would be continously created in a universe which is cosmologically stationary. In that he references some similar ideas presented by others like Jeans and McCrea. (Jeans, J. Astrononmy and Cosmogony, Cambridge University Press, London, 1928, p. 352. and McCrea, W. H. "Continual creation." Mon Not. R. Astr. Soc. 128 (1964): 335-344.)
Nineteen freakin' Twenty Eight!!one!1eleventy-one! You're kidding, right? Almost 30 years before the CMB was discovered!
All the steady state theories were abandoned when the CMB was discovered. Expanding universe or non-expanding universe. Even Fred Hoyle gave it up.
So, sort of an explanation, but contradicted by the data.

Re: No neutrino gap.
Hi TheRestOfUs,
I have to confess that your posts are driving me crazy trying to separate which are your words and which are other people's. For example, I'll be reading along thinking I'm reading your words, then suddenly I hit, "End of quote from so-and-so".
Figuring it might be just me I thought I might just leave it be, but now others are starting to complain, so I'm going to give you a couple more days to figure it out, but if you still can't make it possible in some way (and I don't care what way) whose words are whose then I'll temporarily suspend your posting privileges in this forum. You can go to the Practice Makes Perfect forum and practice there until you've attained at least some novice level of expertise with the dBCodes or HTML or indentation or fonts or something, anything, so that other people's words are identifiable as not yours.
Also, use the Preview button so you don't have to keep editing your posts 4 or 5 times.
This isn't rocket science. Actual children have had no trouble using discussion boards.

Hmm.. I guess I won't be here much longer. I'll be suspended or banned for one reason or another. Percy no need to warn me further. I'll save you the trouble. This will be my last post here.
I have enjoyed getting something off my chest that's been there for years. And I really can't blame anyone else as I did come here with a chip on my shoulder. You see I've been quiet about my thoughts about the cosmos and creation for many years and when I read LaViolette's books I admit I felt an inner joy that I had finally found a cogent explanation to refute the "dismal paradigm" that the universe just popped into existence from nowhere and was expanding at greater and greater speeds and would eventually after all the stars go out and the remains are eaten by who knows how many black holes; just tear itself to smithereens down to the atomic level. It didn't matter how far into the future this would be it was still a bleak outlook.
So I did get energized when I read of an alternative by a man full of constructive thought who hypothesized in a cogent and intelligible manner that the universe was not only alive but was growing not fading. That light and order had defeated entropy and would for untold eons to come. "God is alive, Love is afoot" so to speak. I know... well I've already confessed I believe in God so I guess you are right that maybe I do have a spiritual motivation. Maybe it blinded me a little and maybe filled me with a bit too much zeal. I apologize to whomever I offended.
But when I saw that this man whom I saw in a interview in 2009 admit that he may have put out too many new thoughts too soon and caused his own ostracism because of it. But confessed he was only motivated by a dedication to the truth and the benefit of mankind I did get a little hot under the collar.
Especially when I did some searching and found discussions by other scientists like this one by Frank Tipler Prof of Mathematics at Tulane: http://www.iscid.org/papers/Tipler_PeerReview_070103.pdf. And this from a group of 33 Scientists who've individually put out 2000 papers challenging the mainstream paradigm on Black Holes and the Big Bang since I believe 2004; and have received absolute silence from their collegues: A Cosmology Group. And I found many more examples. It confirmed my worst suspicions. But I wasn't fair that I "hang" you here with that baggage.
Well I have learned a few things in these few days so that's good - for me. Once again thanks for your time.
Moderator you can take me off the members list as I won't be returning. God Bless you all.

Atheists and anti creationists get to define what is and what isn't evidence around here. I think every claim that something has supporting evidence should be supported with reasoning for the claim. You people are going to go around and around in circles with creationists because of your false paradigm concerning how important "evidence" is when discussing issues. "Evidence" doesn't stop you guys when you talk about all the matter and energy of the universe just popping into existence. You just assume its true because no one has been able to come up with an alternative explanation that has its own "evidence" and evidence that meets your definition as well.

I wanted to highlight the words "supporting evidence" in quotes from both PaulK and Percy but don't know how to.
Whenever you want to know how to do something, find a message that does it and hit its peek button. That will open another window that displays the raw text, including all the dBCodes.
You can do it with this message. For example, there's bold, italics, and underline. You can also change the color, though you need to be careful with your choice of colors, since some color combinations do not contrast well with each other and can be unduly difficult to read -- problems dealing with certain contrasts tend to get worse with age. You can also change font size. Play around with it, using the Preview button to test your changes before actually posting the message. And, as I said, use the peek button to see what the codes look like.
The basic concept of those codes is almost exactly the same as with HTML, except these use square brackets ( ) instead of "angle brackets" ( < > ). Also, some dBCodes do not seem to play well together. In such cases, you can use HTML; that is a forum feature that I haven't seen elsewhere yet and it can be very useful indeed. Though when I use it to display a table, for some reason it seems to pad a lot of space before the table that an admin then has to come along to fix.
Here's an added treat, some same formatting code someone posted once. It's embedded between two "horizontal rules" produced by HTML HR tags:


question
|
is there sufficient valid
information available to decide

yes no
| |
decide based is a
on empirical decision
valid evidence necessary?
(A) / \
yes no
/ \

inadequate at this
evidence time?
=guess =wait
(B) (C)
Ah DC85, you forget,
why does a creator define your truths? Your questions do not make sense until you answer this... Please explain
That's his presupposition. see Message 132


Isn't that cool? Just use the peek button to see how it's done.
Also, for displaying a link to a particular message, go to that message and look at the gray number in parentheses immediately to the right of the Message ### of ### at the top of the message. For a topic ID, I usually pull that number out of the URL/URI.
Share and enjoy!

I could have edited my "last post" but I've decided to avoid hiding what I intended at the time to do. That is "leave". Let's just say I thought about it and have decided not to give up on my "quest".
Don't mean I still won't be suspended or even banned soon. But I won't give up until I am.
