Solving problems in science

For several years now i have been reading chat messages on forums like this one here at SETI@home. I have read and participated in messages about black holes, dark matter, dark energy, gravity, Multiverses, the Higgs boson and many other interesting topics.

Here is a very long "List of unsolved problems in physics";
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems_in_physics

But what really gets to me is none of these problems ever get solved!! Its always the same ridiculous conversation where two or more people argue the pro's and con's of what causes the problem. But ultimately nothing ever gets solved?

Why?

Why is my question?
Why do none of the problems ever get solved?

See i worked for 15 years fixing massive electrical machines for different company's. When a machine was broken, they called me to fix the machine. Now in my business there is absolutely no question of NOT solving the problem. So in all cases, i was the one who was forced to solve whatever problem occurred with the machine. No matter what the problem was, could be mechanical, electrical, computers, high voltage transformers and motors, i had to find the problem and fix it. And i became very very good at doing just that!! I learned to find the problem no matter what!! I never failed, i always solved the problem!

So thats what i done with some of the problems on that List of unsolved problems in physics. I went off and studied the problems, learned how they work, and now i'm after solving tonnes of them. So i went and checked what i would have to do to actually publish my work to official journals. It turns out i can't publish to these academic journals. So that makes me very pissed!

Now i'm sitting on the solution to many of the worlds greatest physics problems and i don't know what to do. So now i'm considering not publishing anything and just continuing my research until i find some way to get credited for the work.

I don't just chat about these problems, i go off and do the research and solve them! And no, i'm not going to post solutions into forum messages to have them shot down by people who know nothing about the particular problem or the work it took to solve the problem.

If you have, as you claim, solved many of the greatest problems in physics, I recommend you send a single piece your information to every newspaper in the world.
Once one of the science reporters publishes the information, the world will beat a path to your door.

You wouldn't have to give more than the solution to a single one of these problems to the newspapers to find yourself inundated with requests for more.

Tullio,
Thanks for the link. Something like that is a very good option. Its possible i might have to do something like that if i want recognition for the work.

Robert,
You would imagine it would be as easy as that, wouldn't you! After all, we read all kinds of rubbish in the daily tabloid newspapers so you would think any tabloid newspaper would be only too glad to get their hands on a nice meaty story like this one.

Part of the problem is that some, if not most, of the physics discoveries need money to verify the finding scientifically. Imagine it like this - If i just theoretically invented the D.C. electric motor for the first time in human history, i would need to build one to prove it works. Then i could go to the newspaper and show them the motor! But the harsh reality is that it costs big money to build the experiments to prove i'm correct.

If i don't publish or tell anyone, well......lets say its a shame to stall human progress. The physics discovery is going to turn science fiction into science fact. I don't have the money to build experimental "aircraft" but other people do have the money. I could put the info out in a Youtube video but i know in the end, in the wave of hysteria that would follow, my name would simply be lost in the background. I would put out the theory, inventors with money would build the devices and that is what would end up in the Media, TV, Newspapers, etc. The person who actually solved the problem would never be found.

I don't want to make money from this, but i do want the credit if i'm the one who solved the problem. Know what i mean? Its kinda like Johnney solves the problem after years of research but "Billy Money Bags Jones" ends up getting the credit! Its like winning the lottery but i can't cash the ticket!

YOU want recognition for the work?? I thought you just lifted it from God's Book of Science (sic).

How does that give you any credit??

...and in another thread you say Black Holes are a No-Go. Ok, fine. BUT, If I had access to the source you claim, why look at Black Hole information?? What about cancer, leukemia, diabetes, Parkinson's and/or a million other subjects far more immediately valuable to humanity than whether or not Black Holes exist??

and another thing, Why does God have a Book?? Can't he remember? Is he just learning (from another Deity?) and needs a reference?? Was The Book written in English (or your native language) or did you suddenly 'understand' it however it was presented? "And i'm saying i know this scientific information because i read it in God's book of science. God told me!" is a direct quote from you.

Just curious...

Lint trap,
LOL.....Now that was funny. I got a good laugh there :)

No seriously, its difficult to explain without sounding like a lunatic. For 5 years i have been working on "unsolved problems in physics", just as a pastime. I never expected to solve any of the problems, it was just for fun and education.

Separately, as i'm doing here right now, i started running SETI@home on my PC. But i also started learning how SETI works and all the fine detail of scientifically looking for ET. Again its just for fun as a pastime.

Then on December 29th 2010, about 6 months ago, i solve all the problems in physics that i was researching, and i mean all of them, all in one day. And, just to top that off, thats when i get a kind of Revelation about God's book of science as part of the SETI investigation i was doing. Its a long story.


...and in another thread you say Black Holes are a No-Go. Ok, fine. BUT, If I had access to the source you claim, why look at Black Hole information?? What about cancer, leukemia, diabetes, Parkinson's and/or a million other subjects far more immediately valuable to humanity than whether or not Black Holes exist??

Yes, your right. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place and don't know which way to turn. My mind understands physics problems better than chemical and biological stuff. So the book is so large i have to start decoding somewhere. So i started with the physics stuff. But translation is very slow cos i'm working alone. See i need scientifically verifiable proof, the only way i can get that is through translation of the physics problems. Its difficult for me to understand the Bio stuff until i go and learn some proper medical science.

I have the biology stuff too. But i'm going to have to go learn medicine to understand the book, then translate the book back into English.


and another thing, Why does God have a Book?? Can't he remember? Is he just learning (from another Deity?) and needs a reference?? Was The Book written in English (or your native language) or did you suddenly 'understand' it however it was presented? "And i'm saying i know this scientific information because i read it in God's book of science. God told me!" is a direct quote from you.

In case you were not aware, i mentioned this somewhere else, the book looks like complete hogwash to the average person. But i understand the hogwash and i can translate it into English. Its like as if God empowered me to understand this hogwash language.

This would be my current thinking - I think God placed his book of science here on earth many many thousands of years ago. The book is old and badly torn and battered, pages are missing, but parts are still readable. He could have given the book to anyone at any stage in human history, but it seems he has waited until now, i don't know why. Nor do i know why he picked me as the translator of the book.

Since I was an editor at Mondadori and have some knowledge of typography (including TeX, which I compiled on a RISC machine), I an curious about the fonts used in God's book. Which does He uses?

I was hoping that you were drinking something much finer and better!


Trying to get back to reality, you could try a little of scientific peer review for your claimed science...

For review: Can you post to this forum or put up a web page giving (or explaining) one example of your translations?

Martin,
As i said, i will make the whole thing public once i have compiled sufficient scientific evidence to back-up my claim.

Tullio

Tullio,
As i said, they can't decipher the book. People think its something else. Some of the best academics in the field have studied the book for decades and they seem to be content that their interpretation of the book is correct. But there is zero scientific evidence to back-up their interpretation. As i said, they are kind of happy or content that the true meaning of the book is lost to history and they think nobody will ever know exactly what the book means. But thats only because they don't understand the book the way i do.

Ok, here's an update on the research on God's book of science;

I just discovered a kind of second level of cryptographic writing on the pages of the book. Its kind of like there is obvious information when you read a page of the book. But when you look much closer and magnify the page, there is more information encoded into the writing!

As an example lets say the main obvious words on the page say "Example Writing". But then when i look much closer, the letter "E" in the word "Example" is made up of smaller words and information, like zooming into pixels on a screen. Its like writing inside writing. The detail is incredible!

[EDIT] Shit man.... there is tonnes of the stuff. The closer i zoom in, the more information i can see encoded into the pages of the book. Wowwwww :) At first i thought i was imagining it. But no, its there alright!

Have you just rediscovered The Matrix?

Hope you're not seeing doubled pixels or interpolation noise?

Can you post some zoom examples?

This thread appears to be developing a close parody of part of the plot for Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum.

Perhaps we had a first glimpse with the Black Holes thread?...
