What a nice place! Much better than the accomodation Her Majesty offered me. I hope she gets some pleasure from it because I don't. If I manage to say on good behaviour they tell me I should be out in less than 7! I have saved up my pennies and I nearly have 15 shillings. That should buy me a slap up tea in my favourite Lyons tea shop. Can't wait.

I may have been over-effusive in my praising of this board. I have now been banned without posting a message. I shall not weep, I have been spurned before. May I humbly suggest that the mods keep an eye on the IPs of the guests, I once had three from the BBC server, my board disappeared shortly afterwards.

Alan, this is not true.
There has been no communication at all either with you or about you. Why say something like that? Perhaps you have just hit a glitch logging in? Try again.

No Joanne, I am not accusing you. I refer to my posts on R4 praising the superior facilities of proboards. It is not a problem, I rarely go there anyway, if there was a fault it was mine.

Sorry, I misunderstood. So now the BBC has banned you? Do we have enemies in the BBC, perhaps? Let me in on the story, please.

I see no reason why they should attack you as they closed down their own board. It is however expedient to have an IP detector and keep a track of guests. One of my more raucous boards was closed following a visit by three guests from the BBC; an easy one to track, they have their own server.

Hi.... Academically I am an outsider to the field of cosmology and as an amateur (just for the love of it) I have approached it without the prejudice of a former knowledge. I had in fact gleaned most of what I then understood from popular science documentaries with their often misleading yet easy to understand graphic analogues. In other words sufficiently dumbed down enough even for me.
I had a serious accident five years ago that left me with disabilities that prevented me from perusing my then and past occupations, also my leisure activities and social spin offs, saxophonist, car enthusiast (car went in accident),dancing etc. Although I was able to carry on with my car design and building project until I ran out of funds just over a year ago when I switched attention to the cosmos.
At the age of 47 (I am now 52) with unexpected time on my hand, I addressed my problem with dyslexia (possibly autism) with precision tinted glasses. The result was extraordinary it enabled me to enjoy reading books for the first time in my life. Although I am still not the fastest of readers and my spelling remains rather inventive it is still none the less life changing. The accident set in motion an ill-advised compensation claim part of which involved my short term memory loss due to a head injury. Both neuropsychologists’ reports conferred my short term memory ability to be in the bottom 5% of population and all other testable regions to be in the top 2%, this must be my best exam results to date.
With my lack of a good education and limited knowledge I have had to use my intelligence undiluted in my quest to understand the universe, with no sentiment to a prior knowledge I am always at liberty to sample new thoughts without prejudice. In this way I have been able to develop a complex theory that encapsulates my ideas of an inevitable instantaneous creational brane continuum, one moment of which was our big bang moment. All my proposals have a cause and effect logic that can explain such phenomena as the expansion of the universe to the effect of gravity. I have yet to explain it all to someone that understands it and I am unsure if this is the place to start. I am writing a book on the way that I developed the theory, documenting the stepping stones and pitfalls, bright ideas and warts along the way.

typobrane, well, the idea of branes (short for membranes) is not new, it is one of the main ideas behind M-theory which proposes that our universe consists of 11 dimensions and that our particular universe is but one in a multiverse of universes. Our 4 dimensional (including time) universe is conceived to be 'floating' within the higher dimensions and it may be that these other dimensions could exist in your living room, although you have no way to see them. All this is based on the (mathematical) speculation that all the forces and constituents of the multiverse consists of so-called 'strings' which vibrate at various frequencies thus resulting in different forms of energy and matter. Not proven of course, but it does seem we have to give up our old fashioned ideas about reality because the universe is promising to be much more mysterious and complex than we used to imagine! I do not know exactly how your theories fit in with all this (if indeed they do) but please, lay it all out for us.

Thank you Abacus for the words of encouragement. My new theory that I call the Brighter Universe Theory is very different from M theory. There is too much data to post it in one hit. If I start a new thread and present it in bite size portions I would get the opportunity to debate it with professional scientists and people that will understand. On the down side if it does prove to be very useful I could be dropped from the loop and given no credit for the original ideas. Advice anyone?

Ok typobrane, but when you do don't post it here cos this is the welcome section. Post it in the cosmology section and BTW, be prepared for a savaging by SpeakerToAnimals, she's a professional physicist and rottweiler so I hope you don't have a sensitive nature!
