The "Asterisk" Again

Hi Viggo,

With all do respect I can not agree with your comment. Anyone can have a theory, but speculation does not make it correct. You mention in your profile about all your work at NASA, which is very interesting, but I presume you did not speculate about details, but had evidence and facts before you preceeded on a project. The theory was the starting point, to which questions were asked and evidence was then provided to support or contradict.


That is the same with Marvins theory. He speculates about the "*", which raises questions. Questions require answers. I certainly do not feel I have suppressed this thread by asking questions and pointing out different views. If there are no answers to any of the questions, then the theory has no merit. Without merit, it is useless.


So from my humble opinion, questions are good, they do not suppress, but actually enlighten a discussion and help to resolve. If you want a good discussion, you must have more than one point of view.
