DC, really, what does the whether or not I've published a peer reviewed paper have to do with whether or not I'm discussing something new and revolutionary? In fact, the peer review system isn't designed to openly embrace ideas that in a sweep turn a huge set of the things that the 'peers' believe in ... into intellectual rubbish. Instead it is designed to allow the collection of 'knowledge' to receive small incremental changes. If the 'strong force' is thrown down as an intellectual fiction whose time of usefulness has long passed then that also means the entire standard model is pretty much intellectual junk. I'm sure you see that. One has to be open honest enough to receive the Truth no matter the damage that it does to the collection of ideas and concepts that one hold dear. No man is easily persuaded to abandon ideas and conceptd that they have long believed were true and are not. Try and tell a cuckolded man that his wife has been whoring around on him and see what his response might be. He is confident that she would never betray him. It is likely he wouldn't believe you unless you provided him with a video of her in the act. His first response is to hate you for challenging his conceptions of his wife. Physics and many other disciplines are like this... or I should say that physicists and people from many other disciplines are like this. When Drs. Robin Warren and Barry Marshall showed that the bacterium Helicobacter pylori played a key role in the development of both stomach and intestinal ulcers and that such ulcers could be successfully be cured by anti-biotics, they were reviled by the medical community. Their Nobel Prize citation praised the doctors for their tenacity, and willingness to challenge prevailing dogmas. This is a well known case where the 'peers' were outright hateful in their naysaying of the researchers findings. For you to suggest that if a peer reviewed paper hasn't been published then I have nothing of value to say is your own shortsighted prejudices speaking. It seems that you are trying on the logical fallacy of appealing to authority. You believe that the peer review system is the authority and if I've not presented my case through a peer review published article then it can't be right or worth your time. Almost any honest person who has reading what you write can see that you won't attack what I say but only attack me, the person, suggesting that I have no right to say anything or that anything that I say is not be believed... You seem to care nothing for honestly examining the arguments that I make but only for discrediting me. This is simply your personal hatred showing.
As for me decrying personal attacks, DC, you emerge with another intentional lie when you say "interesting to see that you are the one that started with it..... very telling" when the article you quote-post is, in fact, one in which I am decrying earlier personal attacks. Do you know when you are lying or attempting mislead people. You have shown nothing but dishonesty and I think it is appropriate that I take another poster's advice and simply not engage with you. I could say that you are against me personally or I could say that you are simply against anything that brings into question what you think you know for sure. I really don't know which it is and at this point I really don't care... I'm so happy that they have an 'ignore poster' button that I can activate.
None of this is evidence, it is rhetoric.
