Still not good enough. You still don't have the level of proof necessary to kill off your real enemy; Hawking.

Having spent 40 years as an experimental physics I prefer experimental results to pontificating by cosmologists who write for the unwashed masses.

If you've spent 40 years in experimental physics you should be able to cite something from a peer-reviewed academic journal rather than from a "dot com" website. 

I have been retired for three years and am enjoying myself by traveling; right now I am on the island of Maui for a month. 

Mypurpose for posting is that I feel we are on the verge of new physics - long overdue.

I did my part, now leave it to the next generation to break new ground., i am mentoring  high school students who intend to pursue a career in science.

The current state of physics is certainly unsatisfactory.  The vast majority of the stuff of the cosmos is so-called dark energy and dark matter, which we do not understand.  String theory (which some argue is not a true scientific hypothesis at all) and its equivalents are still being worked with no end in sight in terms of a demonstrable connection to reality. The elusive Higgs remains elusive.

Time for a new physics?  You may be right.

I consider string theory as  ad hoc  at best.

I was deeply involved in photon entanglement before I retired; I still try to  keep in touch but if you are not there day to day people tend to forget you.

To repeat myself experiments mean what they say, even a negative result produces information.

Duly noted.

Also duly noted is your inability to articulate a single thing these cosmologists have gotten wrong scientifically in the particular "pontificating" to which you are so opposed.

We have been consistently wrong about our own solar system and dare to claim knowledge of the universe.

Isn't the UCLA team debunking Hawkings wager a proof for you?
