For what it's worth Pincho, though I may not agree with your theory*, I acknowledge that I cannot disprove it and will therefore respect your right to it. The responsibility to disprove something is equal as it is to prove it. For things that cannot be proved/disproved with absolute certainty with can but rationalize and speculate using the best of our logical abilities to draw conclusions given our limited evidence."
Nowt wrong with him having his hypothesis, he's doing his own tests, which is a good start and I encourage him to pursue it further. He definitely should, he can even find out for himself whether or not what he's saying is true or false. But the issue is that you can't pass off a hypothesis as known facts or state it as truth, or at least you don't if you wish to be taken seriously as a scientist.
Alternative views are great for science because they challenge current ideas and if they turn out to be more reliable, then that's great, it means progress. If anything, I would love the idea of the next great scientific mind being somebody I met on a forum, total bragging rights there
. Unfortunately, Pincho's claiming his 'theory' (which is a hypothesis) is more reliable than the current model of physics used without the evidence or back up or without fully testing it. He is showing a lack of understanding with the scientific process, which will inevitably make it difficult for him to get people to take him seriously. If it turns out he's actually right, it'd be a damn shame that he went around the route of creating simulations and trying to convince people on the net with claims that it's fact and theory, instead of trying to win over the scientific community to say, "hey, can we test this hypothesis?"
