Then what motivated you to come up with it? I do believe it is closer to the truth than existing theories and that it is a simpler and easier to understand theory as compared to existing theories. OK. That is essentially a rephrasing of "superior", "explanatory improvement", etc. A theory should (in theory!) satisfy some criteria to be accepted as scientific ... * it should explain ("retrodict") all the existing observational evidence * it should predict the results of observations that have not yet been made, preferably making different predictions from existing theories. (Preferably ones that are surprising!) * it should preferably be simpler than existing theories * it should preferably have a broader scope than existing theories (which should be demonstrably approximate solutions limited to, for example, lower energy or slower velocity domains.) I would like to send you a copy of my book since you have shown the most interest in my theory even though you currently believe it is wrong and unnecessary. I won’t even ask you to read it. I am happy to receive unsolicited gifts, so please do. (I may even read it, if it's actually sitting there on the bedside table...) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
