ABEL\'S UNIVERSE (General)

Thank you for all the work you've done. I don't have the time for it or the patience. What Abel has done is try to overwhelm us with endless scientific- sounding verbiage, substantiating nothing. My opinion is that he is not dangerous, but mildly psychotic. I'm a Cardiologist, but I did have three months training in a psych ward in my internal medicine residency, by way of offering some legitimate credentials, which is more than Abel does. Will he reappear? I doubt it.

You're welcome. Personally, I don't know one way or another if he is psychotic, and I am certainly not qualified to make any sort of prognosis. However, should he return, I hope that the effort I put into sorting out his arguments will at least help get the conversation to some form of normality. At the very least, if nothing else, we all can say that we honestly gave him the opportunity to explain himself that he claimed he was seeking.

The most irritating part to me is that not ALL of his claims are complete non-sense. Some of them do in fact of merit and warrant investigation, but those points are so wrapped up in all the other that it is hard to disentangle them.

For example, he kind of catches the tail end of one of my own speculations that, should we dig deeper into the matter, we would find that EM is the core of our physical reality, and can probably be used to explain a whole host of otherwise unexplainable phenomena, such as a persons sensitivity to thoughts and events occurring outside of the range of their 5 acknowledged senses. But, for the sake of clarity, I am going to keep my own odd speculations out of this thread as it is already strange enough.
