To continue; what all this has to do with Interdiscipline Synthesis
Cosmology (ISC) is just that an ISC Database does not yet exist, so a
valid ISC does not yet exist, and even the very beginning, the Proto-
Core of the Database, has not been started, and will not begin, nor
will it ever acquire something on the order of substantive content,
until large numbers of scientists, philosophers, interested scholars,
and other contributors start getting together to put content in it.
And, according to my experience, that is not likely to happen anytime
soon, because most potential contributors are too caught up in the
money-chase, or otherwise have their own agendas to pursue, or simply
have to spend all of their time making a living. So, despite the
fact that I have gotten the ball rolling (recoginzing the importance
of the tachyon; using it to solve the riddle of gravity; setting-up
and maintaining a web site; and so on), there is meagre interest.
I have set out some preliminary rules of the game, with respect to
the overall procedures for creating the Proto-Core, and even this
message board could serve as the first online depository. But little
hope do I have that it will go very far.
On the other hand, perhaps what was needed was a rallying point, like
the unification of gravity with the other forces of nature.
I am convinced that I have solved the riddle of gravity, making the
unification possible, and that could be the initial assumption on
which the data in the Proto-Core builds on. Thus I leave it for the
reader to decide if my ideas are worth considering, and/or discussing
any further, and to make their own contribution on this board.
