This is an interesting phenomenon.<p>On the first glance, this is a modestly interesting bimetric theory of gravity, one of the many. These theories are usually considered valid science, not without issues, but at least offering some new insights. See <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Bimetric_gravity" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Bimetric_gravity</a>.<p>On the other hand, this particular theory comes from this person: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Jean-Pierre_Petit" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Jean-Pierre_Petit</a>. Even if it would have been a blinding light of scientific truth (and it isn’t), he would have a hard time convincing other scientists in its validity, because of his... other convictions.

Yeah, nah. I&#x27;m not going to read something titled &quot;Proof Donald Trump is Actually the Best President&quot; if the link goes to &quot;DonaldTrump.com&quot;<p>First-party punditry of scientific claims is a red flag the size of Alaska. If it has the slightest whiff of merit there ought to be a neutral third-party expert willing to bang out an article about it.

This is not a presentation format that inspires confidence that this is not crackpottery

A little OT, but there was a XKCD-comic about a &#x27;space-layer&#x27; made of a &#x27;polygone-structure&#x27; - and I for for the abstract first thought, &#x27;Randall better had written about a (for the 2D-shema) five-sided-(pentagon)-layer&#x27;, cos if you think -just for a moment - about measuring and data-gathering-structures for mapping space maybe... - after you measured the size, temp, coordinates, and maybe &#x27;relations&#x27; (for an example: possibility for water -in a survival-scenario... it was about astronomy) - I realized, the pentagon-figure &#x27;shrinks&#x27; in a triangle, but &#x27;You better have one more data-point open -for maybe future purposes&#x27;<p>Now I feel a bit <i>fuzzie</i> cos just 5 Minutes ago there was a posting here on HN someone saying something like: &#x27;Somebody made an UI and for years it became the main theme... &#x27; (-;
