Thanks for the info Fred. Another thought I neglected to mention in my mini rant; from the article:

...shows a neutron star known as a magnetar crackling with extremely powerful magnetic activity.

As if to say magnetism occurs in a vacuum, without a force whatsoever to generate or create it -- and it crackles to boot. Just in the reading, it seems like something's wrong doesn't it? NOWHERE in the article is ELECTROmagnetic or electric ANYTHING mentioned. Now, the cynic in me says they conveniently left out any reference to ELECTROMAGNETISM so as to avoid mentioning anything electric. Maybe my tinfoil is getting some holes in it?

Anyway, what puts a burr under my saddle is that in these times of all but pure enlightenment[[cough]], there is still a stone age mentality within the elitists of the scientific community™ that keeps telling us the Earth is flat; ignore or disregard any facts that may lead us astray. Which ironically is the same argument they use against me who believe much what the Bible tells us is true.

furious are we? LOL! Imagine how Velikovsky felt when he wrote sixty or more years ago...

...would you listen to anybody discuss the mechanics of the spheres who does not know the elemtary physical forces existing in nature? But this is the position adopted by astronomers who acclaim as infallible a celestial mechanics concieved in the 1660's in which electricity and magnetism play not the slightest role.

Heh. No, not really; frustrated would be a more apt description.

Imagine how Velikovsky felt when he wrote sixty or more years ago...

Indeed. A man who spent a goodly portion of his life fighting the PTB. All the while knowing not only did his ideas have merit, some were in fact irrefutable. Surprising he lived as long as he did; the stress must have been enormous.

Oh crap! Didn't Jon Stewart, at the Academy Awards... just say that when we see a Black or Woman President, an asteroid is hitting the Statue of Liberty?

I love it when they are wrong. It should make them rethink the models but they usually just make fictitious things up as a response.

Exactly!

"Scientists" are wrongly accepting fact-based science fiction ideas as fact.

JMO, but "enduring" science fiction might be more accurate. I've no doubt there are many good scientists, quite a few in fact frequent this forum. The way it looks to me is they are in a Catch-22 situation. The PTB within the scientific community™ have, not in so many words, laid down the rules whereby scientists wanting to maintain their status/position/tenure or "get ahead" have to abide. It may be that only a select "few" are allowed to break the rules - and survive within the system.

While the system may not be broken, it is badly bent, and needs some straightening. Tough duty I suspect, as is most cases of fighting city hall.

Galileo’s mechanics are entirely inadequate, or wrong if you prefer, for analyzing motion on this scale. Two different masses do accelerate at different velocities to any given mass because the gravitational forces combine. A bit petty yes but factually correct. His work was right minded and invaluable. I am very glad that those who came after him did not stubbornly hang on to his models and start adding things like ‘dark matter’ and ten, eleven dimension physics when observation didn’t fit reality. I like it when they are wrong not in a sadistic way. It gives more clues as to the correct interpretations and models they should be forming.
