Entropy and Symmetry
This is either quackery or a Nobel prize worthy breakthrough. I&#x27;m inclined to go with the first.<p>Basically they say they can explain the galaxy rotation speed problem using some novel concepts of entropy and information instead of traditional explanation involving dark matter. If they are right, this will bag them a Nobel prize with 100% certainty.<p>But I&#x27;m afraid they aren&#x27;t right.<p>* neither author is an astrophysicist<p>* one&#x27;s interests are [1] :&quot;Current interests include flexgrid &amp; elastic optical networking technologies (subsystems &amp; devices) &amp; architectures, converged wireless-wireline access networks (5G), theory of information &amp; entropy, cryptography &amp; security.&quot;<p>* the other author describes his interests as follows [2]: &quot;My own interest is accurate ion beam analysis (including RBS and PIXE) using a 2MV Tandem&quot;<p>* 5G networks and ion beams don&#x27;t have much in common with cosmology<p>* the second author is also considered a Biblical scholar [3]. Here&#x27;s one little glimpse into how he understands the world: &quot;The Kingdom is about the return of the glory of God. Which widgets you have in your pocket is hardly relevant to that.&quot;<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.researchgate.net&#x2F;profile&#x2F;Michael_Parker12" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.researchgate.net&#x2F;profile&#x2F;Michael_Parker12</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.researchgate.net&#x2F;profile&#x2F;Chris_Jeynes" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.researchgate.net&#x2F;profile&#x2F;Chris_Jeynes</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.churchtimes.co.uk&#x2F;articles&#x2F;2018&#x2F;8-june&#x2F;features&#x2F;interviews&#x2F;interview-chris-jeynes-material-scientist-and-biblical-scholar" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.churchtimes.co.uk&#x2F;articles&#x2F;2018&#x2F;8-june&#x2F;features&#x2F;...</a>
