why do normies don't have good theories anymore? Einstein was working as a clerk in a cubicle when he invented gravity

Physics is heavily gatekept, even good theories from physicists are not really given credence if they go against lambda-CDM. Even though observational data is currently disproving lambda-CDM.

Nobody wants to admit the big bang theory is wrong, the christians will have a field day with that!

why not? i was told by the tv that scientists were happy when their theories were disproved

Because too many people believe it and it's been taught for decades, it's ingrained. And it's scary to admit we just don't know what the early universe was like and can't explain everything about how it works.

>Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître (17 July 1894 – 20 June 1966) was a Belgian Catholic priest, theoretical physicist, and mathematician who made major contributions to cosmology and astrophysics.[1]
>He was the first to argue that the recession of galaxies is evidence of an expanding universe and to connect the observational Hubble–Lemaître law[2] with the solution to the Einstein field equations in the general theory of relativity for a homogenous and isotropic universe.[3][4][5]
>That work led Lemaître to propose what he called the "hypothesis of the primeval atom", now regarded as the first formulation of the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe.[6][7]

is it really that much of a stretch the big bang from the data we have? or just over-hyped and the alternative explanations very minimized even if it could be 60/40 to either?

it's less about which option is 'true', after all, these are all just working models that will be deprecated in due time and only exist in our head-- they are not reality. It's more about which option is most useful for predicting future things and explaining past observations, and for that, the Big Bang model and/or ΛCDM model have seemingly been most useful for now.
It is known that these are incomplete descriptions, that's an uncontroversial statement to say in cosmology or even about Standard Model physics

Anyway he wasn't a normie, he just hadn't managed to get an academic position yet.

there are only so many paths. the options for the dingleberries are:

>vixra
>rexresearch
>bearden, keeley, grifters, etc...

to get caught up with. the crux of it is this, the low hanging fruit (fundamentals) were measured by using hand made equipment with visually noticeable details. try explaining neutrino tomography with a bunch of hand cobbled together parts of copper, wood, glass, and maybe some other curious stuff like amber. unless the 'theories' are testable, repeatable, and blah blah blah... there are very few people who can self-fund, weld/mill/lathe/trades, chemistry, math, physics, writing, analysis, presentation, programming, and all that stuff in their own garage and produce serious work. that might be a published paper, book, or even just a video with the timestamp of *first* to do whatever their theory is.

besides, what OP means is hypothesis, not theory. it is untested, and likely treading over already measured and modeled science territory only resulting in duplicate measurements, or another model which is just as accurate (not likely) as the existing one. more likely, their "theories" will stay stuck in their head, where they belong, otherwise they end up in crank territory. it's like that old saying about everyone having the next greatest novel in their head, but they just aren't any good at writing, so the novel should just stay in their head.

besides, einstein was a schmuck. a schmuck!

I forgot to mention there is plenty of territory for absolutely useless shit. take all those brilliant mathematicians from the past century who gave us such gems as the 4-color map theorem, some bullshit about penrose tiles, and a formula to determine the absolutely made up string theory crap.

they bought homes with that money. fed their kids, bought cars, all that crap for coming up with elaborate math puzzles. read The Glass Bead Game by Hesse and you'll see where the money can be made in theorizing.

As opposed to the extremely useful physics that concerns itself with the big bang that happened billions of years ago and galaxies that are millions of lightyears away?
I think it is perfectly fine that some avenues of research are "useless", they most likely will not be useless forever and you lose a lot of good research if everything needs to have an immediate application or use.
Plus, even if something is "useless", what is wrong with pursuing something just because it is interesting? Art has no "use", but I would argue it is valuable. The exact same holds for the mathematics you consider useless.
And you have to realize that, even if you consider it unjust, there is an extremely small amount of professional mathematicians and they are not paid a large amount of money either.

low hanging fruit is gone and autism doesn't work with tribalism. tribalism is more important than whatever you can come up with. it's a control thing.

I want to know who exactly he contacted. I'm lol'ing imagining he emailed the department chair as if he had the time or fucks to give him.

If your theories have a mathematical basis or an empirical basis, you will most likely be able to convince people of its correctness.
I'm not saying it will be easy to convince people, you have to make a big effort to break things down if you don't have academical credence as an outsider.
It is on YOU to convince others, in an ideal world ideas stand on their own, but this does not hold in a practical world of submission deadlines, referee deadlines, teaching duties, the mentoring of PhD students, grant proposals, administrative duties and your own private life.
Also, the thing is, most people who say they have theories are either schizo or communicating their ideas very poorly.
