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. |
So if you claim something as a "mainstreamer" or "challenger" you can walk away from it anytime? I don't think there is anything in the rules for that behaviour (I'll check, but "be nice" would, imo, include answering questions), but let me tell you it is very impolite if not downright dishonest.
Cheers.
