"Two word titles may be deleted" aka "Constructive Feedback"
This is my first, and likely only, forum thread.
I am posting this thread not to bash the community, harass
the moderators, or to ridicule "This is the only FACT" thinking.
Only to point out a missing ingredient in the community that is
not found on this forum. I hope you read it as the sincere
advice that I intend it to be...
I was looking for an astronomy, physics, and general science
forum where I could further my knowledge by asking such
questions as:
Why is Mercury considered a planet and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eris_%28dwarf_planet%29" not considered a
planet when it's larger than Mercury? Likely the sun cleared
Mercury's path more-so than Mercury itself.
And
What other evidence is there for an expanding universe? I've
seen an explanation that http://www.scribd.com/doc/33711296/Essentials-of-Hubble-Distance-Redshift" could explain the
redshift. Is the jury still out on the "Expanding Universe"? Or
are http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/einstein-and-the-universe" theories still under consideration?
And
When I was in High-school, I was taught that heat was the result of
excited mass particles. So, how does light excite mass if it has no
mass of it's own? An example is Crookes Radiometer
But then I found things like this:
https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=607387&postcount=19
and plenty more complaints of your censorship on the web.
(Yes, when I'm looking for a serious discussion I make sure I
don't speak to deaf ears.)

I don't accept the "Silence The Crackpots" as a "Valid Intellectual Just Cause"
for a few simple reasons:
Barry Marshall who won the Nobel prize- demonstrated
that ulcers was caused by bacteria was called a crackpot for
even having the theory.
Robert Chambers who wrote one of the first books about
evolution was called a crackpot... but paved the way for Darwin.
Hannes Alfvén won the Nobel for proving that not just
gravity - but plasmas and magnetic and electric fields are important
in galactic physics... after being called a crackpot.
Galileo Galilei, Barbara McClintock, J Harlen Bretz, Boris Belousov, Karl Jansky...
the list goes on.
Granted, there are plenty of "Chem-Trails" and "Didn't Walk on
the Moon" and "The Face of Mars is an alien statue" people
out there...
But if you silence the crackpots then when a http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/23/science/23speed.html"
speaks up he or she will just be lost in the crowds of BanHammers
and Deleted Threads despite actual research - however incomplete
(Such as R. Chambers)
(I also would of asked if http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/1999/02.18/light.html" succeeded and if so - did she try to
remeasure the mass at a lower speed? Why when we already
know? Because that's also what exploring is: seeing if a "Fact" holds
true under different circumstances.)
Well I just had to stop by to say that I'm sorry the PhysicsForums.com
community forgot one of the most fundamental necessities of
exploration, discovery, and experimentation...
