Cosmology
For those not familiar with both terms cosmology explains how the cosmos works; astronomy deals with what we see in the universe, like planets and stars, and with the telescopes we use to see them.
I have posted some of my views on cosmology to a Facebook (FB) group named: Cosmology & Astrophysics (or C &A). The exchange of posts followed by comments and replies in this format is an exchange similar to a debate.
This is too much content for one very long topic or for so many individual topics. This way the browser gets each for the reader only when selected.
If you have a FaceBook account and wish to see more of the exchanges (including posts and comments by others) in this FB group, I post as 'David Michalets' Access is probably limited if not a member of the group.
Perhaps the FB group will close and I will find another similar site; this is my archive of my content. Eventually I went to another group, then watched other groups.
On 04/18/2019, I switched my posting to FB group named: Cosmology; I reyurned in 06/2019 for intermittent posting. For the Cosmology group I revised several previous posts and posted the new version to that group; I also posted new content to this group. Quite a few members in this group became rather hostile when I questioned a black hole. I quit the group in 04/2019, but rejoined in 07/2019 for a few weeks simply because it has so many members; after more harsh comments I won't return.
On 04/23/2019, I switched my posting to the FB group named: Electric Universe theory (or EUT). This group is receptive to discussing problems in cosmology. For my new content sometimes I also post a copy to that C&A FB group since I get positive feedback, in an attempt to continue presenting new ideas though the two groups have a different history from me so some edits are needed, or even separate versions.
When the same title is shown on different dates then it was updated in the later version. I have been learning along the way. Earlier posts were before more was learned.
Please click on the date link to see that day's text.
I consider the content from my posts below of more interest than comments I added to posts by others in a FB group.
Here are my posts to Facebook, with its date; my comments to others' posts starting in 2018 (> 90) are in a separate topic; a brief topic is shown for each post
