I come from a family of eight children and am unfamiliar with the concept of favorite, as often as not the one I was finding the most difficult was the one who was helping me the most. I know like and dislike and need Neverfly to give me a clip upside the head when I step out of line. I need captain swoop to pull me into line when I make outrageous statements that are not supported and I need the tommac's of this world to question and test my logic. I made a right mess of the satellite timing by not defining which satellite and total time elapsed and got it all backwards anyway. To call it a nitpick is unfair as it was a necessary correction to some awfully bad logic.

I need to learn mathematics to communicate as it is the language of science and in twenty months here have had ample time to do an on-line course which means I am lazy. I need to study the English language because communicating ideas is essential and that is more than natural talent, it is essential to know. Using a musical instrument does not make one a musician and the same with words which is why writers are so important.

I wanted to describe an idea of a black hole being the boundary of something like the Eagle Nebula and how its destruction is similar to a coronal mass ejection (CME). Just as a CME is related to a solar tsunami so to a nebula collapse would relate to a black hole collapse. If one knew the positions of both the black hole and the nebula then the instant insertion of the Eagle Nebula into 'normal' space time would mean an instant structure collapse faster than the speed of light from one end to the other. At the same time a massive gamma burst from the connected location in space of the black hole as it collapses of which the light would arrive at our location relative to our distance to the black hole and the nebula, so occurrence of one should predict the other. There is other space stuff but we can go into it later if you are still interested.

Most of all I need to apologize to all members of the BAUT community for my bad tempered outburst and yes I retract all of my unsupported statements.

My hero in cosmology is Albert Einstein because he had an idea and made the effort to learn the mathematics that described a different space to the one he knew. He waited his time and had the confidence that his idea was good and made his name because he wrote from within the community. A woo woo is someone who is a noisy idea holder that does not make the effort to know what they are challenging.

If an idea is good and it survives the teaching process and is worth pursuing then it will cost in commitment or resources if funding someone else to do the work for and often both. To make BAUT a great starting point will mean an investment. What we get out of it depends on how much one is prepared to commit to it, otherwise pray for a miracle.
