    @tobogganablaze My point is: How can you be so sure it has been dismissed? I just found about [1] from 2013.
    It appears, the SM doesn’t disagree with shrinkage at all.

    But why does it seem your mind being blown by this idea? Maybe be because you didn’t consider us being sucked in anywhere? If that’s the case, here’s why didn’t you consider this yet: I didn’t yet post my post despite the probability of not having a new thought.

    That’s how blocking path dependencies in science can be so strong.

    “What instead of the universe expanding we’re just shrinking” is not what I posted because my brain didn’t come up with it. If you want things simple and in your words, I suggest a solitary life.

    Finally, you don’t know my age or experience. Your unfriendliness could just have hurt a kid’s interest into space. Remember that.

      @tobogganablaze > Yes you can. You just have to come up with a new model that matches all the current data just as well or better than the standard model.

      Yep. You need a thousand bright minds to validate new ideas. May be that’s the true point of this forum.

      Models that don’t work should be dismissed. If you have a model for shrinkage that does work it should not be dismissed.

      It appears, the SM doesn’t disagree with shrinkage at all.

      Yup, pretty much.

      But why does it seem your mind being blown by this idea? Maybe be because you didn’t consider us being sucked in anywhere? If that’s the case, here’s why didn’t you consider this yet: I didn’t yet post my post despite the probability of not having a new thought.

      Sorry, I’m not following. My mind is definitly NOT blown and black holes don’t “suck in” things. That’s a common misconception. And I really don’t know what you’re trying to say with the sentences after that.

      Your unfriendliness could just have hurt a kid’s interest into space. Remember that.

      I’m sorry that you think I was unfriendly.

      But this a community for people that smoked too much weed to saything dumb things that sound clever when you don’t think about them too much.

      If there is actual kids around that are interested in space theneven more important that unscientific non-sense gets called out.

      Quite interesting article, you should read it.

      But the TL;DR here is that so far all “shrinking gravity” models had major flaws and didn’t work. And the last idea of perfeclty scaling atoms is unobservable, so really more of a thought expriment than an actual model.
