a large enough flaw in MDT to show that it can not be a valid theory? Maybe someone did - I don't know? Having said that, I don't think that Elliot is trying to con anyone or sell you folks a bill of goods that he thinks is BS. Right or wrong - based on his enthusiasm, I am sure that he thinks his theory is correct and can't quite understand why we don't get it. To him it makes perfect sense and the longer we go without saying: "Oh, now we get it - wow!!!" The more perplexed he is but is willing to continue to give you the details again in another post." Thanks for that Chris. Yes--a big, glaring question is "why doesn't some FQXI member just simply step forth to refute my theory on a logical, physical, or mathematical basis, instead of merely snarking it/ignoring it/deleting it here and there?" One of the tragedies is that when millions of dollars are invested into non-existant "giant voids," multiverses, parrallel universes, insider-antitheorist contests, snarky groupthink, and "unmistakable imprints of another universe beyond the edge of our own," real science, defined by lone, rugged researchers, becomes far too expensive, even though it costs nothing but common courtesy. And thus MDT is castigated and impugned, and true physics quarantined and exiled, for mere monetary reasons. The funding of the group is deemed more important than truth and physics, which is why two chapters in Nobel Laureate F.A. Hayek's THE ROAD
