Greetings
Hello, all.
Came here after reading the Bad Astronomer's blog recently - glad I found this site, as there appears to be a lot of good info and resources here. A bit about myself - I've been very into astronomy for years now. My Father, a retired university professor, showed me a lot when I was a kid (including one magic evening when we viewed all 8 (then) planets in one night using a Celestron 8" set up in the back yard of our home in Westchester County, NY. When I went to college I took Astronomy Lab from him, then assisted him a couple times as a lab assistant. I was very fortunate that he was teaching at Alfred University then - the Observatory there has 5 major telescopes available for students, ranging from a 9" refractor to a 32" reflector. All but the biggest are used by Astro Lab students - somewhat rare in astronomy instruction today. I haven't used a telescope in a while, though, as I'm a career Soldier. I've served just under 17 years Active Duty so far. I've been a few cool places and seen a few cool things; currently I'm deployed to Iraq. I'm online using the same (user)name on a couple military-related forums, a couple science/evolution related forums, and generally around and about. Anyhow, that's me in a very small nutshell - feel free to ask if you would like to know more.

Introducing myself
I'm not sure that I'm writing this in the right place.
I'm Australian, born in the late 1920's, have a rather limited formal education but have maintained a lifelong interest in physics. I've developed a theory about electromagnetic radiation and relativistic gravitation which could do away with dark matter, the Big Bang and the expanding universe. Hasn't everyone? In the real world I had the unbelievable good fortune to witness (from a commercial aircraft) the re-entry of Apollo 13 into the Earths atmosphere. Any disbelievers in the moon landings should talk to me. I guess this is more than enough for an introduction. What I've seen in BAUT so far is extremely interesting and much of it in line with my ideas. Thanks, Peter Last edited by rotry : 11-May-2008 at 12:51 AM. Reason: spelling error
