A Free-for-All on Science and Religion

The New York Times: Maybe the pivotal moment came when Steven Weinberg, a Nobel laureate in physics, warned that “the world needs to wake up from its long nightmare of religious belief,” or when a Nobelist in chemistry, Sir Harold Kroto, called for the John Templeton Foundation to give its next $1.5 million prize for “progress in spiritual discoveries” to an atheist — Richard Dawkins, the Oxford evolutionary biologist whose book “The God Delusion” is a national best-seller.

It is 100% sure that unless otherwise a pressure is exerted all the bodies in universe move in a definite circular or elliptical motion in contradictory to the present theory. That motion is directly or indirectly proportional to the mass of the matter. Light even has the same circular motion. Then many stars that we see might be only duplicate image due to the circular motion of light. Also the gravitation is nothing but occurred due to this circular motion of matters. Tomorrow science will prove that….Good luck to the future guys, though I may not be there…….
Why gravitation fails explain many thing. When an apple is in the high altitude, it moves faster than the surface of earth due to its distance from earth center. When it falls we count the gravitation. What happened to the speed difference occurred when it reached surface. Where that energy or speed disappeared. Is that we count as gravitation. I might be most idiot guy in the universe.. mvpanicker@gmail.com
