Attiyah's razor

I would suggest a good read of the Crackpot Index before any more such attempts at horse manure. Especially:

25. "20 points for naming something after yourself. (E.g., talking about the "The Evans Field Equation" when your name happens to be Evans.)"

Having a theory named after you is something to be earned, if indeed it merits such. Spamming with a whole salvo of crackpot stuff self-named after yourself is... a good moment to reassess your contact with reality or ask your psychiatrist if neuroleptics are right for you.

Ibn al-Haytham is more on-topic in terms of subject matter, yet I was referring to Ibn Sīnā's insistence on evidence of efficacy when recommending a therapy. While his findings might be out-dated, his methodology continues to be the foundation for clinical trials to this day.

Thanks and yes, you've made a good point. Also, both were important early 'scientists' and it was a good move bringing up the thoughts of a figure he would likely greatly respect.

Al-Haytham, as a sceptic, would not have been impressed with Attiyah.

From Wiki:
Thus the duty of the man who investigates the writings of scientists, if learning the truth is his goal, is to make himself an enemy of all that he reads, and, applying his mind to the core and margins of its content, attack it from every side. He should also suspect himself as he performs his critical examination of it, so that he may avoid falling into either prejudice or leniency.

Attiyah may well be demonstrating a form of scepticism of established thinking as described above. If he has done this in a worthwhile manner, he will be able to show what faults he has found with the current thinking and, at the very least, how his idea remedies these problems.

This is a sceptics' forum so he should expect an al-Haytham approach from the community here and respond appropriately to "attacks" on his ideas, either repelling them with answers or, where appropriate, rethinking his position.
 
The Moderation Team has been monitoring Attiyah Zahdeh's threads for the last few weeks and there is pattern of behaviour that is not in the spirit of the Forum. I.e. his threads are just regurgitaion of the same opinions and information that have already been posted elswhere on the internet by him over literally dozens of times. Therefore I am closing the other threads, this thread will be left open for discussion.


A late addition: I've looked over the posts in this thread and some are...less than civil. Please remember to keep to the MA and not attack the arguer, but rather the argument, no matter how tenious a grasp on reality you think it represents.

Attiyah’s razor​


On finding an anomaly or abnormality in any natural phenomenon, scientists begin their attempts to account for it so as to give what might seem as an acceptable explanation. In such cases, however, I suggest that scientists must begin their attempts by finding or proposing another suitable anomaly in order to solve the abnormality confronting them. Accordingly, I suggest a scientific basis saying: “Anomalies solve each other” or : “abnormal solves abnormal”.
In other words, the priority in the field of explaining any anomaly must be for another anomaly. I see to call this basis as “Attiyah’s razor”.

The thing you mention already has a name: Ad hoc hypothesis.

This is what certain people do when they are faced with a counter-argument: Invent another hypothesis to pile on top of the first one.

It surprises me not at all that you should be in favor of that.:rolleyes:

Attiyah,

Please obtain an education in maths and sciences. It would do wonders for your credibility and your general understanding of How Things Work.

Thank you,

Attiyah's Cosmological shift and 'Attiyah's galactic shift' law

Attiyah's Cosmological shift and 'Attiyah's galactic shift' law

Preliminary Notices:
1- Irrespective of the orientation of the plane of 'the orbit of the Earth around the Sun' to the galactic plane, it could be assumed, only for the sake of simplicity, that they are parallel.
2- Although this theory talks about a proportion, it is intended to be qualitative rather than quantitative.
3- Because this theory is intended to be qualitative rather than quantitative, therefore, irrespective of the cosmological galactic motions, if there is any, I prefer to ignore them and concentrate on the change of the relative positions of the Earth and the galaxy that is due to the motions of the Earth only.

'Attiyah's Cosmological shift' theory​

1- Due to the persistent revolution of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun, and to its persistent rotation on its axis, there is always a continuous change in the relative motion of the Earth and each one of the galaxies.
2- Due to the persistent change of the relative motion of the Earth and the galaxy, the galactic spectral lines experience Doppler shift.
3- The Doppler shift which the galactic spectral lines experience is mainly due to the change in the Earth's velocity in its orbit around the Sun, and slightly due to the rotation of the very Earth on its axis, as well as its wobbling.
4- Due to the relatively slight effect of both of the rotation of the Earth on its axis and, on the Doppler shift shown in the galactic spectral lines, this slight effect itself could be dealt with as negligible.
5- The change of the frequency of the galactic spectral lines that show the Doppler shift which is due to the Earth's revolution in its orbit around the Sun is proportional to the change of the Earth's velocity in its same orbit around the Sun.
*****

I call the last statement (#5) :"The change of the frequency of the galactic spectral lines that show the Doppler shift which is due to the Earth's revolution in its orbit around the Sun is proportional to the change of the Earth's velocity in its same orbit around the Sun" as 'Attiyah's law of galactic shift.

N.B.
It is possible to utilize 'attiyah's cosmological shift' theory to check the exactness of Kepler's first law and Kepler's second law.
 
You should really go write a book. These amazing revelations are wasted on the nonbelievers.

Sure--if we had devices that could measure changes in the parts per googleplex. Two AUs, compared to 14 BILLION LIGHT YEARS isn't even a rounding error. It's invisible.

Can't the moderators stop this idiocy?

[OPINION=MINE]

They can, but likely won't put a stop to threads that start with a pseudo-scientific claim, for fear of discouraging discussion of REAL scientific principles. I assume this because it has been stated that closing threads that start with claims of paranormal abilities might discourage or suppress discussion of paranormal topics.

It may be enough to have closed all the rest of Attiyah's threads in order to limit "this idiocy", and left this thread open to avoid the onus of outright censorship.

Personally, I think it is possible to discuss any pseudo-scientific topic in the abstract without any claim of validity or veracity being made.

But that's just me.

[/OPINION]

No one is required to respond to Attiyah's posts, regardless of how much fun it is to expose his erroneous assumptions and fallacious reasoning.

Is Attiyah's Razor used to slice Jesus on toast?

And by the way ..... what the fark is the "spirit of the Forum"? Is this proof of the supernatural or something?

In that case, all galaxies in one direction would show the same doppler shift, and it would change over the year. In reality, galaxies in all directions show widely varying doppler shifts, and they only vary slightly over a year.

Also, we know the orbital speed of the Earth, and it is tiny compared to the redshifts we detect on distant directions.

Go back to square one.
