Well, that would be one of the ugly reasons I can think of, it just confirms that a double standard exists. |
Not. The standard is, if you're asserting something "new," you must show how it is consistent with what we observe. If you're not asserting anything other than standard physics, this is all known material... or it should be. This can be an educational site, but few professors* have time to give unpaid side courses in what's really going on in modern astrophysics.

Not to imply any astronomy professors have contributed regularly to any of these contentious threads. I'm certainly not one. I suppose DGRuss is the "highest ranking" academically of the "usual suspects" in the Arp thread. Is it Mr. Russell or Dr. Russell? Is your "associated institution" still a high school?
