Any Maverick Mathematicians out there?

My bet is a form of Electric Universe hypothesis. These were a bit more popular in the 70's and have failed so far and, in some case, even devolved to a point of almost self-parody like meteorite crater impact actually been caused by cosmic storm thuderbolts, a phenomenon never observed so far.
I know our friend @Native has been enthusiastic for electric theories of the universe in the past, but I'm interested to know what he has in mind on this occasion.

Hello All,

I wonder if all astrophysical and cosmological mathematicians just are able to work with consensus approaches in these scientific areas - or if someone also have the guts and the intellectual and logical skills to think outside the squared box of the consensus society.

If so, I´ll like to make such contacts for a common discussion of alternative perceptions of it all.

Anyone interested in this *Maverick Project* can apply here and we´ll find a way to discuss *in private* so to speak.

Remember: Only gutsy Maverick Mathematicians are Welcome.

Regards
Native.

Isn't that how cults get started? ;)

I take it you mean the equations of physics generally, no?
No, I mean in astrophysics and cosmology specifically.
t sounds like you have some pet hypothesis that the physics departments think is wrong.
Yes I have a *Pet Dog* who obey the name, Logic :)
s that right? What's the actual topic you have in mind?
As said in my OP it´s to find persons who´re able to think out of the standing consensus boxes - really no matter which boxes, but especially the cosmological and astrophysical boxes.

They have only "failed" because the EU is judged by the consensus *1/4 part gravitation ideas*. A methodology which obvious is highly inconsistent.

Agreed indeed.

And they - the *ThunderboltsProject* also have strange astronomical ideas of planets which once should be placed closely to Earth, *hovering in a line over the Earth´s northern celestial pole*. All nonsense which is based on stupid interpretations of ancient myths - which otherwise contains genuine knowledge of the creation.

They have failed in their predictions, its core hypothesis have been found false or have been unfalsifiable so far.

According to my OP an Electric Universe apporach could be one good reason to looking for Maverick Mathematicians.

You´re obviously disqualified regarding my OP so just leave the thread - or think twice.

Why don't our "great" resident mathematicians and cosmologists etc engage seriously as challenged by the OP, please?

Perhaps they should be given a taste of what is actually on offer before they engage? I would think that only fair. As it stands, descriptions of this proposed "secret forum panel" of "maverick mathematicians" has been sparse. I think the OP should probably give a taste of what he/she is able to bring to the table first before expecting anyone to want to devote time to whatever this endeavor is about. I, for one, view my time as precious... and it often takes a bit of convincing that something is going to be worth that time before I am willing to spend it. And why shouldn't I want to be convinced? Talking me out of that is going to take... well... some convincing. Haha...

Fair enough - but when mentioning *Maverick* i thougth it would be obvious that the OP referred to *the guts and the intellectual and logical skills to think outside the squared box of the consensus society*.

And then, won't the Goliath be there challenging our RF Mathematicians continuously at the pitch of his voice? Right, please?

I couldda been a contender but never made it past calculus 101.

The thing is though I'm not sure there's such a thing as "maverick" math. Oh sure, back in my salad days I could devise an infinite number of ways to solve almost any question but all math is still just quantified logic, at least so far as I know. You can apply it in many different ways but once it's not logical, it's not math. It is obvious that cosmology is a mess right now and requires no more actual math than saying there is exactly a 0% chance that there are an infinite number of universes. There is a 0% chance that all the world's a holographic stage upon which we strut.

Of course discovering the actual nature of reality is going to prove pretty tricky or it would have happened right after the theory of relativity. Perhaps it will prove as simple as reducing what all the constants have in common or the actual nature of time or space. There are countless possibilities but what we need is something to which to apply the logic of math and an experiment to prove it rather some novel math or novel way of looking at modern experiment and knowledge. This problem will prove to go all the way back to metaphysics and definitions. It's not so much out of the box thinking that's needed so much as an entirely new box.

Incidentally I believe this new box will not need to be so constraining as the existing one and that computers might be able to manipulate its far more ephemeral parameters.

Well, ah . . . because it is not a meaningful challenge. Also, as far as I know there are not any "great" resident mathematicians posting here.

Math is pretty standard world wide in academics without controversy. The foundation of our astrophysics and cosmology by the present scientific evidence and knowledge is 'Quantum Mechanics.' If anyone is looking for 'Mavericks' it is from the science perspective of astrophysics and cosmology. I brought up Emanuel Velikovsky, because he is indeed a 'maverick' in terms of science. There are other possible candidates for sure.

1 = 1
1 - 1 = 1^2 - 1^2
1 - 1 = (1 + 1)( 1 - 1 )
(1-1)/(1-1) = (1 + 1)(1 - 1)/(1 - 1)

1 = 2
That, sort of, should qualify as a Maverick Mathematician :) Any rutine in the astrophysical and cosmological departments too?

Of course not. The Maverick part regards *thinking differently of the same things*.
Of course discovering the actual nature of reality is going to prove pretty tricky or it would have happened right after the theory of relativity.
Not at all. It´s just a question of getting rid of 350 year old occult scientific consensus thoughts and start all over with more relevant approaches.

Lightly seared on the reality grill.
1 = 1
1 - 1 = 1^2 - 1^2
1 - 1 = (1 + 1)( 1 - 1 )
(1-1)/(1-1) = (1 + 1)(1 - 1)/(1 - 1)

1 = 2

More convincing if you're more general:

OK, thank you.
While we eagerly wait for some wrestler to accept the challenge of the OP and goes inside the ring/box for the bout, I would like to go off-Math and have one's considered opinion, if one likes to give, about the latest research of DNA of the warrior Aryans who entered the Indian sub-continent riding the rattling/shining steel Chariots to subjugate and or to push the indigenous agricultural inhabitants of the Ghandhara/Harappan/Mohenjo-daro/Dravidian civilizations to the South and turned them into minion untouchables dalits and shudras. Perhaps Krishna also belonged to these people as his color was black and not like the white Aryans:
Two new genetic studies upheld Indo-Aryan migration. So why did Indian media report the opposite?
Right friend, please?
