== A point of view on this article ==
  −
  −
Hi! First of all, pardon my awful english. I'm a huge fan of Conservapedia in general, and of this article in particular: I've found the points 11 and 12 of this list (the "action-at-a-distance" points) incredibily inspired, so I use sometimes these points as sign at the end of posts in some forum.
  −
  −
First of all, as I've seen during my physics studies, there is no such thing as "liberal physics", just physics.
  −
Physicists can have different opinions on specific topics, and it's a good thing: finding who is wrong is the only way to make scientific progress.
  −
When a new phenomenon is discovered, the first thing to do is the known physics laws can describe it: this may be called a "conservative" point of view. But if this is not possible new laws have to be found: you may call them "liberal laws".
  −
  −
The special theory of relativity, though, is not object of debates, so actually the physicists are '''conservative''' in beliving
  −
that a lot of phenomena can be explained using the relativity theory.
  −
  −
This article pretends to be a page about science. Well, it turns out that it is a (wonderful) ''pure nonsense'' page (I really love nonsense!). There are conceptual errors, absurdities, even miracles (I hope that you won't call them "scientific proofs")...
  −
for example, points 7, 11, 29, 31, 32 are all manifestly wrong, as
  −
everyone with a little knowledge of physics can confirm. Point 13: no one is searching gravitons.
  −
Point 25: if an object is moving in one direction,
  −
then physics '''should''' distinguish among the direction (and, in fact, it does).
  −
  −
The classic aether does not exist.
  −
  −
Not all the points are wrong, though. The necessity of dark matter and dark energy in the current cosmological models it's a problem well known
  −
to the experts. There are two possibilities: one can prove experimentally that these entities exists ''and/or'' general relativity is wrong
  −
on large scales. My opinion (but it's just an opinion) is that the dark matter exists (it has been observed in galaxy collisions, for example), but
  −
general relativity has to be modified on large scales (maybe a quantum theory of gravitation could help?).
  −
  −
So: most of the points are trash. Some of the points are quite right indeed (not the Bible ones, at least if you want to write an article
  −
about science). And, for the sake of correctness, someone should write a page with phenomena explained by relativity that aren't
  −
explained in the framework of classical mechanics and electrodynamics.
  −
  −
This is only my POV, obviously. But if Conservapedia wants to be a source of knowledge (regardless the "conservative" or "liberal" point of view)
  −
you have to write facts, not nonsense. I'm a Conservapedia fan for the nonsense, so that advice is against my interests :P
