**** you! Just because I have dyslexia doesn't make my opinions, knowledge or understanding on subjects any less valid than anyone else, and it's a damn low-blow for people to constantly make fun of this.

Yeah, because every astrophysicist has to learn about computer networking before they're even allowed to use a telescope.
Quote: "Raven, why can't you just take what the experts say as fact, and not poke your nose in and try to prove everyone wrong with the little expeience you have. Of course the scientists know they're estimations aren't accurate, and they probably even know more about that than you do. They give us what they know, and it's the best it's going to get."
Oh I always forget that everyone here knows exactly what education, and hobbies I participate in. I'm sure whatever the degrees I've attained are surely neither of them mean that I would be able to provide me with any knowledge about how the math is done in astrophysics... after all Maths and Physics play no roles in that subject at all, now do they?
Quote: "If they didn't know, they wouldn't make it up just for fun."
Who here can tell me what a "Theory" is?
Remember that the majority of astrophysics and astronomy are done based on what we do know; and as such we fill in the dots ourselves.. an educated guess is still a guess, not fact.
The point I've been trying to put across, has been not that the experts are wrong; per'say. Just that you can't rely on what they claim to be accurate. Especially if you take note of how distance and size appears to be measured and stars grow in size periodically based on distance. Typically I've been blasted once again for what I've said and I'll bet heavily that very few even bothered to read what I wrote, or take the time to understand it despite the fact I always try to put information across in a way that even the youngest member here could grasp the basics.
Typical to always see the exact same posters always blasting across their responses all the time. About time they grew up, and either provided a real debate about a subject or just shut the hell up. I mean people go on about "Raven knows nothing about this..." but most of the time, none of you understand the subject at hand and just respond to be jerks rather than trying to learn more or providing valid information.
I would be greatly surprised if more than 2-3 ppl in this entire thread know much about astrophysics, and/or astronomy. You just find something pretty online and expect it to be accepted without question.
