I appreciate that. I’ve been building a new genetics course from scratch. And yes it is HARD.

Last comment - I never meant to suggest this “fractal model” was a replacement for the lambda-CDM.

I hear that. I traded salary for job satisfaction and security. I’m a PhD molecular biologist that is a professor at a community college. I love teaching.

My physics knowledge comes from a few classes I took in undergrad, but then a great deal of independent learning and reading over decades.

I wouldn’t say I “believe” it so much as I see the recursive patterns. It’s just that simple idea and observations I’ve been talking about. Not some hard-core rule set that is being applied.

I was unaware it had been refuted. Do you have a reference?

… I pointed you to a Harvard reference. The burden of proof has been fulfilled.

I’m not sure why you have such a thorn in your foot about this topic. What aspect of scale-free geometry is “fallacious”?

Having a masters degree seems to make you a bit arrogant. What was your thesis on? Why no PhD?

So you see yourself as a physics gatekeeper. Got it. Are you a PhD scientist? What are your credentials that justify this viewpoint?

Hot take: cleaning the toilet occasionally keeps the bathroom from not smelling.

Absolutely.

The universe is beautiful and full of wonder.

As for the galaxy pattern, go stir some Milk into your coffee.

…and physics is applied math.

All physics problems are math based.

Maybe go read up on this.

Here is a quick primer.

Do you try to “debate” for the engagement? Because your replies feel forced like you are trying to create dissent.

Pedantry is obnoxious.

Are you suggesting the geometry of frost deposition, coastlines, and galaxies are not recursive patterns?

Unless some new math dropped I missed, the fractal nature of the universe is evident everywhere.

Of course an atom isn’t a neuron. What a stupid comment.

This simply demonstrates that the physical universe operates under the same universal laws of math and physics.

The fractal nature of reality makes perfect sense when you realize the same rules apply to everything at all times.

*thank*. How embarrassing.

Yes. And we also need education reform. It’s one thing to have so many positions to fill we need to reach out to other countries.

It’s another thing entirely to have our own people not getting jobs because we didn’t invest in them.

P.S. I am otherwise on your side in all things!

CC professor checking in. The you for pushing this idea out there with your megaphone.

There isn’t a good reason to spend $60,000 a year taking general education classes. Especially when you aren’t sure what you want to do with your life yet.
