You spent more than 40 pages in the "Potential Threat to the Huygens Mission" thread, moving goal posts and tap-dancing because you do not accept that your variable G has been disproven by experimental results.

...On the other hand, you have not provided a shred of experimental evidence that disproves the Einstein-De Sitter model, except for your particular interpretation...

Now, why don't you address this:

If you don't show that you have done your homework, why should they take you seriously?

Do I need to point out that if this what you think, you really don't understand what research is?
This is my homework. This is a discussion board, not a thesis defense.
So? You still have to provide evidence to support your idea, if you want to be taken seriously from a scientific standpoint.

If this is th case, you have not done your homework, hence you cannot expect to be taken seriously.

I don't remember that you admitted you were wrong about the Huygens mission.
Are you saying that your moving the goalpost is an admission of being wrong?

It is not unusual: it's at the base of the peer-review process.

Thousands of scientists know how to provide evidence to support their claims.
