And not a single equation or calculation? 


Mathematics is a common weakness of cranks.And not a single equation or calculation?![]()
In stellar metamorphosis, planetary systems are flat and ordered because planets are old stars that have settled over time, while stellar systems are chaotic because stars are young and still dynamically unstable.I haven't read all of the preceding 36 pages. Perhaps you could explain why planets are typically found in systems with lots of planets rotating in the same direction in a plane, whereas stars are more often found just in pairs, and rarely more than four, and they are not in a plane.
Have you read Origin of Species by Charles Darwin? Not a single equation or calculation in sight. Some reflection in how science happens maybe is required.And not a single equation or calculation?![]()
Did you just make that up or is it an actual argument?Mathematics is a common weakness of cranks.
You referring to me or to the people here?I just looked back at the first page of this thread and am reminded of that well known definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
Mathematical modeling has since been employed by biologists and mathematicians to describe evolutionary processes. It is how science happens.Have you read Origin of Species by Charles Darwin? Not a single equation or calculation in sight. Some reflection in how science happens maybe is required.
Not made up, merely a general observation (again, how science happens) from decades of experience. While not preclusive in and of itself it denotes the tendency to deliberately avoid any mathematical analysis due to its potentially preclusive nature, as noted aboveDid you just make that up or is it an actual argument?
Edit: I just deleted what I was going to say. Damn. I'll see yall tomorrow.
But lots of examples. You have any?Have you read Origin of Species by Charles Darwin? Not a single equation or calculation in sight. Some reflection in how science happens maybe is required.
You. But it's a fair point. Patiently pointing out elementary errors to a crank over and over again, in the hope that he will one day start paying the slightest bit of attention, also fits the definition.You referring to me or to the people here?
Number 2422 is not likely to engage constructively.You. But it's a fair point. Patiently pointing out elementary errors to a crank over and over again, in the hope that he will one day start paying the slightest bit of attention, also fits the definition.
I thought that as time goes, systems with more than two stars will tend to eject the others. Do you have an explanation why your systems retain several stars until they burn out, and how some of them become moons and settle into orbits around the bigger stars, still without being ejected?In stellar metamorphosis, planetary systems are flat and ordered because planets are old stars that have settled over time, while stellar systems are chaotic because stars are young and still dynamically unstable.
Just to emphasise your point.But lots of observed examples. You have any?
