@20 Yeah, I know (oops, did it again). I just want to make it clear that I often ask rhetorical questions, and I’m not just confused all the time.

@21 Yeah, the heliocentric model seems pretty solid. When they start talking about the various multiverse and p-brane theories it’s more or less an exercise in mental masturbation though.

@20 Yeah, I think the Voyager paradox proves that but watching the game develop is still fun. The trick is correctly applying a physical interpretation that tends to fit the theories.

Last I checked the observational evidence still supported that the Sun is the center of our solar system. At least they got that one right…finally. Maybe… I hope…. ;o)

I love the WVFF back row! Such an eclectic collection of intriguing internet denizens.

@16 Just a word to the wise, try to be careful what you say you know. Astrophysics is a tricky thing. Just because something is the dominant hypothesis doesn’t make it true. There are still plenty of unresolved issues with the impact hypothesis for the moon; it’s just the best model we have at the moment. Plenty of stuff concerning the formation of various things the universe can’t ever really be known for certain. You’ll always have trouble with repeatability and falsifiability with things that happened long long ago, far far away. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth looking into though.

Scientists like to think they have things figured out, but don’t be surprised if the current big bang dogma collapses under its own weight within the next 50 years if they have to keep inventing stuff like dark energy and inflation theory in order for things to make sense.

Good answer @17. I’ll be interested to hear more from the JPL guy.
