When that 'Alien review' thead started running earlier, of course I
skipped over it along with kook Min's. Then upon noticing Painius had
hopped in it, I figgered there must be something amusing going on, and
snooped in also. Suspicion confirmed (!).

'Miss Thaing' is a piece of work, to say the least. There's either of
two possible scenarios going on with her/him/it. One is patent
stoopidity. To present oneself as an extraterrestrial alien with
super-classified "level 5 - 6" knowledge, and to expect to be taken
serously, is unutterable, ribald stoopidity, worthy only of mockery and
derision. The edict for 'decorum and civility' don't hold no water here.
Or two, the person is clinically delusional and genuinely
_does_ believe her alien-hood. If the latter is the case, then she
should seek professional help immediately.
On the 'bathroom scale' issue, she apparently did not
read, or did not comprehend it as half tongue in cheek. The
'tongue-in-cheek-ness' was in saying "if you want evidence for flowing
space, you needn't look any further than a bathroom scale, as it gives a
direct analogue readout of matter's *resistance* to the flow of space,
aka 'weight', under the F.S. model. The interchange with Odysseus fully
explained buoyancy under the F.S. model.
On the issue of "Where does the flow go once ingested?",
that's the 'Roach Motel' issue universally cited by objectors to the
F.S. model. It's a back burner issue and a 'given', just as the Standard
Model has its 'givens' and imponderables.. such as the pre-BB condition
and whatever imponderables may lie 'outside' our horizon of visibility.
Despite the clear evidence *for* the BB, ought we to say, "I cannot
accept the BB because we don't know what came before it."? No, we accept
the BB along with its implicit 'givens'.
The flowing-space model simply looks at the evidence,
applies Occams Razor, and accepts gravity for what it appears to be and
behaves as, and puts the 'givens' on the back burner just as the
Standard Model does.

Painius, this is all your fault. G oc


This is what "separates the Men from the boys."

Men Think and at least Attempt to find an explanation.

boys perform copouts.

Men Think and come up with answers, right or wrong.

boys spit up dogma dooky.

Men Think and find ways to test their conclusions.

boys play "Let's make fun of the different guy!"

Men Think.

Gordon Wolter did not tell you his wonderful secrets because he thought the
air in front of his mouth needed heating up.

Nor did he teach you how to think.

Gordon Wolter told you his special ideas because he figured that you already
Knew How to think.

With all due respect and admiration, we are still waiting for you to prove
him right.

Consider a force.

Label this force an attractive force.

Envision this force emanating from and surrounding an atom.

There are other forces of an atom.

These other forces are relatively strong, powerful, as compared with this
"new" force.

They are So strong, and this new force is So weak, that the other forces
effectively mask the weak force.

On a nuclear level, this weak force is transparent, eluding all but the most
sensitive instruments.

This force does its work outside the atom.

But it is so weak, that very little work gets done.

So little work gets done, that it virtually cannot be detected, even if two
or three or seventeen atoms are working together.

Only when the number of atoms is extremely high does the work begin to
become detectable.

The higher the number of atoms, the easier it is to detect the work.

When the number of atoms is high enough, the work can stretch out for yards
and yards.

Miles and miles.

Parsecs and parsecs.

It can pull you in.

It can make you fall.

It will keep your feet on the ground.

And it might just get you to think.

This is everything but the apple hitting you on the head.

(Oh! and did you notice?

No math.) G
