VISIONS FOR THE UNIVERSE
“Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. “ (Habkkuk 2:2 Holy Bible KJV)
Astrophysics and particle science today is largely created by theorists who mathematically create their visions for models, theories, and hypothesizes and expect experimenters to confirm that their equations and formulates are correct. However in the end; the correct observational conclusion is the main ultimate decisive factor determining if the vision is correct, because if the conclusions made are wrong then the theory is also wrong.
What are the observations telling us, and are the parameters used for making the conclusions correct? Fundamental concepts for the real nature of energy, the misunderstanding of gravity, the complexity of light, and miscalculation of what is time, has caused misunderstanding and led scientific conclusions astray that leads into a scientific field that can be categorized as no-way science.
What is the direction the Universe is going into? Is the vision of an expanding cloud that is speeding away at a faster rate at the edges that even tugs at light to stretch it as portrayed by present conclusions or is it really something else that is based on a sure foundation supported by known laws of physics?

ON YOUR WAY TO SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY
Theoretical physics with observational abnormalities, list of unsolved mysteries, physical paradoxes, or no-way physics type explanations are areas where one could apply scientific methodologies using the science method and scientifically falsify and/or make a scientific discovery.
The first step would be to ask the questions such as, where are the admitted problems that need solving, or what are the abnormalities known, or what needs more clarification, and spend a lot of time researching those areas. Gather up related data to increase your knowledge and provide that opportunity for an eureka moment or a systematic solution. Read the rest of this entry »
Opening Open Access Science with Twitter Tweets
People are twittering to make general announcements to the public – leaving links to web pages, PDF, and blogs. The latest discoveries, latest reports and best web pages are twittered for others to find out about.
Use the hash key (#) to search what others are leaving for links. For example some of my favourities: #astronomy, #astrophysics, #redshift, #gammarays, #scientificrevolution, #sciencemethod, #openaccess, #openscience.
You can choose to follow users which will automatically send to your account all their tweets. News sources, magazines, web sites, bloggers, and other users you follow allows you to keep on top of the latest news, research resources, interesting facts they know about, their research, or topics they develop.
Scientist will/can start using twitter more as a means to communicate to more people at once and open up their discoveries for others to know about. Public and professional collaboration in Twitter will create open access science with feedback blogging that will promote public participation in developing and spreading scientific knowledge, information and create new discussions and ideas.
Always use the share buttons to spread the blogs and news items you found interesting to create open access science.
Participate with your comments to take part and to develop open science.
Spread the scientific revolution by your participation.
HOW TO CREATE SCIENCE
A scientist makes an observation and notices a problem or tries to answer the questions of why and how.
Timothy Ferris said in his 1997 book The Whole Shebang- A State-Of-The Universe(s) Report, “Science is not a static body of dogma, to stray from which is to risk one’s epaulets stripped off in a ceremony of banishment from the scientific community. It is a self-correcting system of inquiry, in which errors – of which there are, of course, plenty – are sooner or later detected by experiment or by more careful analysis.”
A scientist can make a discovery, or develop a new model. Timothy Ferris also said in his book, “Through astrophysics, it became possible to go beyond describing how the sky looks and to begin learning how it got to be that way.”
Astronomers that want to go beyond observations in the visual can do astronomy and astrophysics by the scientific method and create new science several different ways. They can notice a problem or ask the questions why or how. They support a hypothesis by gathering quantitative and qualitative data form observations and by using problem solving techniques and critical thinking to support conclusions to test new or present theories.
To start the process, use critical thinking and the scientific method to support why and how. Alternatively see a problem and seek the solution by designing experiments and/or gather data to support a hypothesis.
When one wants to contribute a new theory or model they must formulate a hypothesis and test it by experiments and gather data to support the conclusion(s). The data is analyzed and interpreted which supports the hypothesis or rejects the hypothesis which will require the hypothesis to be modified.
This website supports open access science and public collaboration vs the old system of peer review. You are a scientist too – You are an astrophysicist too – You are an astronomer too – add your comments, make your contributions with open access science and public collaboration. Together we can construct a new scientific revolution to open up a new Universe unknown to previous generations.
SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION – GOALS FOR THE WEBSITE
This website is to get off the ground a scientific revolution to change the perceptions of the detectable Universe. I plan to start that (soon after a foundation is laid) by introducing a critical experiment (experimentum crucis) in the electromagnetic spectrum.
I will develop and teach how to make new discoveries in astronomy and astrophysics using science discovery methodologies to validate or falsify present or future hypothesises, models, theories, and/or claims as part of a foundation.
I will also promote a new concept of open access science and public collaboration vs the old method of peer review.
Understanding the results of the critical experiment has been the key to unlock many mysteries of the Universe (that presently perplex the scientific community) which will be revealed as the blog content grows.
I ask you to join me in this journey of scientific revolution and discovery as we lay down together the foundation for science to progress to new heights.
