I agre...I've just now come across this blog. <br /><br />I agree wholeheartedly with you that "the physics... and astronomical implications of this seemingly make it unthinkable," but I'm sure you would agree that what is <i>currently</i> unthinkable is not necessarily untrue. After all, continental drift itself was "unthinkable" only a century ago (it seems like only yesterday). And the Copernican and Keplerian systems were entirely "unthinkable" within the physics of <i>their</i> day. Interestingly enough, it was discoveries in <i>astronomy</i>, which as you know had <i>nothing</i> to do with physics of their day, that led to a new physics in the 17th century. Perhaps, then, geology and paleontology today will lead to some "rethinking" in modern physics, esp. the physics of gravity. <br /><br />I have never heard the expression "tin foil conclusion" before. Can you explain what that means, and also why you use it?<br /><br />Thanks, and kindest regards,<br /><br />Bill Erickson<br />http://www.frontier-knowledge.com/earthBill Ericksonhttp://www.frontier-knowledge.com/earthnoreply@blogger.com
