The Progression of Scientific Theory

         It has always been difficult to make a ripple of progress in the massive waters of scientific dogma for millennia, whether it be that the Earth is round (actually spherical to be exact, and to be even more exact a lopsided sphere) or that Space actually has a physical existence (aether). [See “An Irrefutable Proof that Space Exists”.] Both theories explained data that could not be explained by the mainstream dogma of the time. In both instances, it was the mainstream academics who tried to ridicule and eliminate the newer and better theories. 
         I rarely make predictions, but I believe that history will repeat itself with theories which espouse Space as a physical medium, will one day prevail. The evidence is just too overwhelming and special/general relativity have failed far too often to explain the evidence. Many different scientists of today have approached this subject from different directions, yet all reaching the same conclusion.
         The theory that Space exists as a physical medium, is but one of many new theories which are not only credible but explain more data than the currently accepted theories. Alas, the reason for the Journal of Theoretics existence. 
         It takes the volunteer efforts of many people, the financial contributions of others, the existence of the internet (which allows us to publish for a fraction of what it would otherwise cost to print), and the fresh innovative thought of the authors, to make the Journal what it is today. How many other science journals have over 5000 people read each issue?
         It’s not to say that we don’t get our share of wacko theories, and who knows maybe someday we will become the recalcitrant mainstream of science. But here is to the future, may the quality of ideas and theories someday flush out the stagnant waters that currently (and probably always will) exist.
