Thank you so much for the link! I would have responded earlier, but I was fascinated by the article and kept following up on points.

Are you familiar with Halton Arp? His biography and struggle also makes a great read.

Another of the (lesser known) strugglers is Ray Tomes who extends quantization to a cosmic scale Harmonics Theory. Here's more from Tomes:

Quantized Galaxy Distances (velocity not applicable)

Confirmation of Harmonic Theory Redshift Predictions (conversation with Tifft)

Tome on Halton Arp's forum

If you are interested in others on the edge: Who's who in frontier Physics

As I have said before, I suspect there is a primordial algorithm that will be manifest by harmonics. Therefore, I suspect Tome is in the right ballpark, though I'm not comfortable with all of his conclusions.

Thanks...enjoying your links.

I really like Setterfield...here is a SHORT article (called: BIRDS, BEETLES, AND LIFE) where Setterfield argues the imposibility of "slow evolution" by observing characteristics of several different living things. He makes some of the same points that Gore3000 has made about the impossibility of traits "co-evolving" :

Are you familiar with Halton Arp? His biography and struggle also makes a great read.

In his day, Chip Arp was a quintessential observer. The work he did with Allan Sandage, and the work that he did on the Arp Peculiar Galaxies Catalog was very quite good, after all, it helped launch the field that is the lynchpin of "sexy astronomy": Extragalactic Astronomy, and Cosmology.

However, as a theorist and as a statistician, both Arp and Tifft have been guilty of some pretty major statistical blunders and misapproximations--and not knowing when to quit. With the confirmation of the existence of cosmological effects like the Lyman Alpha Forest, as well as the confirmation of the Gunn-Peterson Trough at high redshifts, any hope of a non-cosmological origin of quasars is pretty much done in.

Consider this: Why isn't the Lyman Alpha Forest quantized?
