And, since mass slows down time, the clocks of observers in voids, where most of the empty space in the universe is, will appear to be ticking faster than the clocks of observers in galaxies.

It is this last feature, he says, that explains why dark energy is unnecessary.

"What we see as cosmic acceleration is an apparent effect, which begins when voids open up. When the universe was very young all the clocks were synchronised but because of the way voids have evolved, the clock rate is variable today," Wiltshire says.

You're telling me noone ****ing thought of this? After 90 years?

The reason we take them seriously is because a scientific consensus developed.

No, the reason we take them seriously is that they've been proven correct numerous times.

Whenever there's a broad consensus on something, people are reluctant to challenge it.  Scientists are not immune from groupthink.  They're human, just like everyone else.

I think we're trying to say the same thing.

What I mean by 'scientific consensus' is 'everyone agrees they've been proven correct numerous times'.

Einstine's theory clearly states that normal thruster glows should be blue and afterburners should be yellow.

Then whoever Einstine guy is, he's a crackpot.

That deserves a medal.

In this thread: people don't know Einstine.
