Physics Debate

Question

Hello. I’d like to ask whether you would be interested in holding a debate on physics. I’ll explain more about what it would involve.
There is an American man named Gary Mosher. He has a theory that unifies physics and explains all phenomena from simple and intuitive foundations. He claims that both the theories of relativity and the standard model in quantum mechanics are wrong. He has long and detailed explanations for why this is so. In quantum mechanics he has criticism of the double-slit experiment (and he claims that the experiment really did not add much beyond what Newton had already discovered in his single-slit experiment) and other experiments as well; regarding relativity, he critiques both the theoretical side and the experimental side. I, little as I am, am no expert in anything, but I have indeed read a few physics books, and I came away with the impression that his theory is much more elegant and much simpler (and much more intuitive) than the conventional model. In his theory there is no quantum weirdness at all (superposition, spooky action at a distance, etc.). Here is a link to an article in which he explains the foundations of his theory (it may be that parts of the article are not updated exactly to current developments, but it is close enough): http://donotgo.com/in/ds/grav.html
He explains most of the theory not in articles but in YouTube videos. Here it may be worth noting that although he is a great genius (in my opinion), he is a bit of an unusual person, so take that into account.
And to the question itself: would you be interested in holding a debate with him regarding his theory / his criticism of conventional physics? The debate would be held by video, through something like Skype or the like. Beyond the fact that it would be very interesting, you would certainly make him feel very good, because he has been working on his theory for many years and still no real physicist has engaged with it (he is afraid the theory will die with him). Thanks in advance. (If you agree, I’ll send him your email so that you can coordinate a date, etc.)

Answer

Unfortunately I don’t have time for that (and my physics is a bit rusty too). In general, a debate is really not a recommended format. One should try to interest an active physicist who will look into it and give an opinion.

Indeed, that is exactly what I am trying to do. Do you perhaps know anyone who might be interested? The man is also willing to pay in exchange for a dialogue, etc.

I don’t know. You could try contacting physics departments and proposing a seminar or colloquium. If their seminar coordinator is open-minded enough, maybe he’ll be willing to check whether it is serious and approve a lecture.
I assume the coordinators’ names can be found online, or by asking the department offices.
Good luck
