If they haven’t taken into account the various fields of displaced space that starlight has expanded and contracted through to reach whatever instrument they are calculating the distance from at their relative position where they did their calculation, yes. It would be impossible to know all the displaced space fields of every mass that the starlight has traveled through, But still they talk as though their measurement is accurate. It’ basically bullshit.

And you’ve got cites to prove it, right?
Right?

You’re making this up as you go, aren’t you?

It is intuitively obvious that any observation or measurement which contradicts this theory is wrong, and they are all wrong in exactly the same way, which validates this theory. QED

Look up “woo”.
Look up “theory”.
Do the math.
I’m sorry-I totally forgot you don’t _do_ math.

Don’t be so sure. Give him a link and 10 minutes and he’ll integrated DC into his hypothesis as well.

I think our friend is selling his theory short by only addressing Four Forces of Physics. Clearly there are Sixteen Forces (each of the four commonly recognized forces as propagated through each of the four dimensions) and this insight may clarify some points.

the only math I am concerned with is the Fibonacci sequence as they are real numbers to me.

I was having a beer and shooting pool in a bar with a friend of mine some years back, we were discussing whether the pocket watch in space would loose time or gain time. When I figured out that it would move faster, it dawned on me that there must be more space around the surface of a planet because the electron takes more time to circle its proton, I thought about it for a few years and this theory resulted.

Well, there’s your problem: You can’t put 2 and 2 together if 4 isn’t a real number, can you? :rolleyes:

4 is an interval between two octaves.

I tied to click on the link and nothing showed up.

Fibonacci was a pissant. Pascal’s Triangle is where the real numbers are at.

Care to make a wager on that?

How much beer, and have you considered your hypothesis while sober?

I’m not sure I want to dip my toes into this pond, but what does that even mean? Are you talking about a fourth?
