Post by HRM ResidentPost by James WarrenYes it does, as does all the sciences. The "crap" is
suggested by observations and tested by observations.
That's how it works. You are beginning to understand.
As for your claim that cosmology is crap, we have only
your personal incredulity to go on. I doubt that would be
good enough for very many. :)
What is the evidence you claimed there was in your
initial response?
At least the DM/DE ding-a-lings gave their crap a name.
Apparently the multi-universe crew are not even sure enough
their crap is real to hang a moniker on it! I keep asking,
and you keep deflecting: How can there be more than
everything? How? :-)
The multiverse stuff is just an hypothesis, or maybe less than that. It
depends of string theory, for which there is no evidence, or eternal
inflation which may have a little support. In any case, it can't be
taken seriously at this point. Your what was *if* the multiverse is
true, then what. At the moment it is mere speculation.
DM/DE OTOH does have observational evidence. Not enough to elevate it to
a theory but are definitely viable hypotheses.
If you want to reject them then you will need to say why the evidence
for them does not justify treating them as good working hypotheses.
Personal incredulity does not qualify.
Why not tackle Quantum Theory. There is something definitely non
intuitive about it. In fact, it is totally absurd except for the fact
that it passed every attempt to disprove it with flying colours and has
made our modern electronic age possible. Wrap your mind around that!
Let us know what your infallible intuition has to say about that.
After that tackle General Relativity - more absurdity, but passes all tests.
