Why not come in here and explain the correct scientific theory instead of simply saying NO NO AND NO and not explaining it to him. If you want people to actually learn, you don't simply tell them NO. You teach them what is wrong! I don't agree with Hard_wired or anything he said, but I don't want to see the poor boy burned at the stake for a lack of knowledge...
Fill his head with the correct theory, not negativity.
With my comment about electrons, what is there to say, other than the statement is completely wrong? On scientific issues, I generally try and explain why, and I did provide a brief explanation of why the idea of existing in all places and speeds prior to being observed was wrong, as well as wave-particle duality.
I don't claim to know a damn thing about subjects I've never studied, and no where in my post did I. [...] You are simply jumping down my throat when I'm simply pointing out the fact that we are on an internet forum, not a science lab...
I'm not jumping down your throat for that, I'm doing so because the post of yours I quoted in my states that you think it is certain that I (and others here) don't know what we are talking about. Something I take issue with, because I did actually take a course in the subject.
I never said you claimed to understand the subject, only that you dismissed my knowledge on no basis. You've admitted you are not in a position to look at what I wrote and know if it is accurate or not, which is fine, but to instantly dismiss it and with such certainty is presumptuous
f you expect everyone here to have a degree in nuclear/quantum/jesus physics you are wrong. That doesn't mean people won't discuss science issues, and you should expect a large amount of mis-understanding.. If you are so damn well informed instead of coming in this thread looking like an over-intelligent egotist, why don't you explain the holes in his theory without attacking his character.
I don't expect people here to have science degrees or otherwise be experts in the subject, don't be absurd. People should certainly discuss scientific issues, and yes, you are correct when you say there will be misunderstanding. Such misunderstandings are inevitable.
All I expect is people stop posting in such a certain way when they're actually completely unsure of their understanding.
I also like to explicitly state when something is complete nonsense. That's my style.
You realize you are on the internet and I'm going to go the route of without proof.. How do I know your not lying?
Aside from the fact that I have no real reason to lie and falsely claim I studied for a degree, if you educate yourself on the subject, you should see I actually do have some knowledge. It doesn't matter even if I was lying (aside from making me dishonest), because you do not need to study for a degree to learn about the subject; it would have no impact on how accurate my information was.

I do look shit up on the internet...but the internet is so fucking amazing..you can look up anything you want to, or learn anything you want to.
It is amazing, I agree. I do it all the time when there is a subject I take an interest in. And there's nothing wrong with that at all. My comment was a general comment not aimed at anyone specifically.
I'm just stating shit that other physicists have said is all.
I'm sorry, but this kind of stuff is not the case, because it gets basic facts terribly wrong. Any physicist who said that stuff in any serious publication would find themselves looking for a new job simply because it demonstrates a hugely flawed understanding. Maybe some people did say it somewhere, I don't know, but if they did, they certainly didn't know what they were talking about.
And certainly it seems like you've drawn a huge amount of conclusions that don't follow.
If you want to educate yourself on science, then make sure your sources are reasonably accurate. An encyclopedia (even Wikipedia) will usually give a good overview of the very basics; Wikipedia is generally accurate for the most part on big subjects such as quantum mechanics. If you want to learn about it in more detail, textbooks are a good place to start.
Because, to be honest, the stuff you said sounds like it's come straight from some pseudo-scientific mystic site that tries to use science to enhance its credibility.
