Your TOE Theory Forum - please read

[neutralino]

It has become apparent that some members have been posting their theories several times in this forum, sometimes with years in between each thread. Note that, by the definition of the TOE, each member can have at most one, and further that multiple-posting is against the forum guidelines.

Thus, I'd like to suggest that members only post their theory in this forum once. If members make several threads on the same theory, then this becomes very confusing to reply, or to remember who has replied to the thread. There are, of course, times when one will need to start a second thread in this forum; I'll summarise a few of the anticipated circumstances:

• A member has made some progress on his/her theory which substantially changes it in some way. In this case, the member should start a new thread, and ask a moderator to close the previous thread to new posts.
• A thread has become too long-- in this case it may be useful to start a new thread to continue on from the first. Threads will most likely be split up by moderators, however.

Please note that any post not adhering to the forum guidelines has a high risk of being removed by the moderators. Whilst "bumping" of threads is looked down upon, it is more favorable to bump your thread than to start a new thread on exactly the same topic. Try to add some more insight into the "bump" post, which gives someone something to reply to.

Thanks for reading this and for your cooperation, and feel free to PM me with any questions pertaining to this. I look forward to reading your TOE Theories!

Dear, Neut,
Thanks for the heads up.

It might be possible that members double post purely accidentally or what is more likely in my own case--absent mindedly and unaware of having done so.

So, I would suggest that when ever a member discovers a double post that they jot a quick Private Message to the "Offending" member and perhaps point them in the direction of where the extra posts are so that they can remove them or post them only in the most appropriate thread.

After all, we're not all rocket scientists here. LOLOL That's really out loud.

Best Wishes to all, Aaron

neutralino;
I’ve found many times it is best just to move their tread to a more appropriate forum or just merge their threads if they are of the same topic.

If they are indeed duplications they must be removed and the perpetrator punished severally.

Can anyone explain to me what is the purpose and what are the benefits to an author of posting his theory here?

When you talk or write then you find out more about what you think. Other members may fill in the gaps or give you an insight, even unknowingly. Then you may refine and post more.

There is also a trophy cup made of pure gold..

Then you may refine and post more.

Do you think it may be possible to bring this work to completion, would be my question.....

*** Of course I do. In fact I am under the impression that this is the objective of Toequest, that is, to find the theory which explains all in physics.

Indeed, such is the stated objective, and there are many paths in pursuit of same.

Has not mankind been seeking for such understanding since the advent of language and presumably before?

Likewise, I speculate on whether we may actually discover 'the answer' and what might follow from such powerful knowledge.

*** Yes but I would think that the emphasis is on finding the answer and not just on the pursuing it.

Has not mankind been seeking for such understanding since the advent of language and presumably before?

*** I don't think so. In my view, mankind has pursued many things from the beginning of time and all that they have set their minds to they seem to have accomplished.

*** Well that might be the problem right there: the hindrance to finding the answer. Those who appear to be searching for the answer don't really want to know because of fear of the unknown.

My view though is that we will not proverbially fall off the earth if we reach the horizon.
