So this is your criteria for identifying great scientists? Find someone upon whom scorn and ridicule is being dumped by the rest of the world, and he's your great scientist?I have a feeling your strategy would correctly identify a great scientist only one out of several million times at best. Far more accurate strategies are available, such as the number of other scientists referencing someone's work. How well do you think Humphreys does by this measure?--Percy

You might want to give the post you replied to another read, because Mike provided links to this exact information, including a link to Russell Humphreys answers Various Critics.What is the arbitrary assumption upon which BB is based?--Percy

Sure, choosing different values for the variables in Einstein's equations yields different universes. But Hubble's discovery of the expanding universe and Wilson and Penzias's discovery of the BB background radiation tells us that white-hole cosmology doesn't match the observational evidence and that Humphreys is therefore choosing the wrong values.Once there's observational support for a specific solution to the equations it is no longer an assumption.--Percy

This is just a restatement of your initial assertion. Perhaps you could describe for us the observational evidence supporting Humphreys' views. I'm also curious how long you'll continue misspelling his name.--Percy

Hi Maestro, Sure, I was already happy, but the apostrophe belongs after the "y". Thanks for the links, but I'm debating you, not webpages. Could you please summarize here for discussion how the observational evidence supports Humphreys' cosmology? You can provide the links as references.--Percy
