Defining styles
I decided to participate in the VERSUS experiment organized by Belgian Sam Buisseret.
I should, in principle, receive by the end of June a response from the organizing committee of the international conference COSMO17, to be held in Paris between August 28 and September 1.
Since early June, I have contacted Roland Triay, co-organizer of the annual meeting (Centre de Physique Théorique de Marseille), which takes place each autumn in Cargèse, Corsica, asking whether I could present my Janus model there.
No response .....
Ask him why he isn't replying to me, even negatively:
Alain Riazuelo, researcher at the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris, has since 2006 (for 11 years) maintained on his lab's website what he believes to be a refutation of my cosmological theories. He has clearly not read my work, and this page is a collection of false and erroneous claims. Today, he goes further: he tells internet users outright that if I managed to publish articles in high-level journals, it's only because the referees didn't see through my work—that is, that I am a fraud. I asked him whether he still holds this position, and under these conditions, in line with professional ethics, whether he would send "comments" to these journals, pointing out the flaws that escaped the experts.
No response .....
Ask him the question.

The god Janus, looking both toward the future and the past
****The best interview, by Stéphane Allix
I decided to participate in the VERSUS experiment organized by Belgian Sam Buisseret.
The first five thousand copies have been sent out.
The book has been released. The first five thousand copies were sold out in 48 hours. The publisher, Trédaniel, is reprinting.

This page will function as a kind of blog.
The blocking is everywhere—in the scientific world, in science popularization media, and in the general press. Of course, the presidential election currently occupies the entire audiovisual landscape. But I am confirmed in my perception of things. If a movement of interest arises, it can only happen within the public, across various social groups. In my Janus videos, I strive to be understood by as many people as possible, which prevents me from using any formalism. Only after completing this series will I create "extra videos" aimed at internet users at the "math-sup" level, representing tens or even hundreds of thousands of individuals (students and engineers).
I will also create "translatable" videos using short sentences of the subject-verb-object type. The dubbing will be handled by the team of Savoir sans Frontières.
Regarding major media, my co-author Jean-Claude Bourret will be a guest on Ardisson's show "Salut des Terriens" on May 4, 2017. I was not invited to participate.
It is perfectly clear that no scientist will respond to my work.
Within the scientific community:
-
There are those who have invested in cosmology and astrophysics. If I am right, then all their work must be discarded. Two examples among academicians: Thibaud Damour and Françoise Combes.
-
There are others who, although not working in these fields, are fully capable of reading and understanding my writings, such as mathematician Alain Connes, who is also a geometer. Yet he "remains courageously silent." Connes could easily invite me to present my work at the seminar of the École Normale Supérieure or at the Institut des Hautes Études, where he holds a professorship. But in these institutions, he is neighbors with Thibaud Damour, head of the cosmology seminar. Between scientific honesty and the desire not to offend this neighbor, he has made his choice—and has not replied to my messages for a long time.
Thus, things are not looking promising on this front.
Internet users have attempted to spark a debate about my work on various science forums, the most well-known being Futura-Science. They were immediately expelled, with the message stating:
http://www2.iap.fr/users/riazuelo/cosmo/jpp/p2.html
- Jean-Pierre Petit's theories are considered personal theories. For a theory to be discussed on Futura, it must be genuinely accepted (even merely as a working hypothesis) at an academic level, meaning the researcher's work must be recognized by peers. This is no longer the case for Jean-Pierre Petit, who has been excluded from the community for over a decade. He now uses the internet to disseminate his theories. We do not wish to participate in what we consider an illegitimate and futile way of engaging in scientific debate. His theories will only gain credibility when they receive favorable judgment from the cosmological community."
You can read a French critique of his theory of twin universes:
The link points to a page hosted on the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris website from... 2008. For eleven years, Riazuelo has consistently denied me my legitimate right to respond in a seminar at this laboratory (so no member, not even Luc Blanchet, see the article published in April 2017 in the journal La Recherche, has replied to my messages).
Riazuelo even goes so far as to question, without providing any arguments, the quality of the articles I published in 2014 and 2015 in two high-level peer-reviewed journals. Here are the references.
Here is the message Alain Riazuelo sent me:
- What I was trying to tell you was that, being retired and a bit rusty, you are not in the most favorable environment for research, due to the absence of regular interlocutors, the great difficulty in accessing scientific literature, and therefore the great difficulty in grasping the current state of the art on topics that interest you.
I do not deny that you have written articles in which you have poured in your own ideas.
However, I cannot say that the content of these articles convinced me.
The fact that you found referees who accepted your articles does not change my reservations, and there is no reason for me to invite you to give a seminar.
And without any scientific arguments...
Perhaps, on this matter, you will have better luck than I did. Here is his email address:
If you contact scientists or science journalists, you can attach the PDFs of these three articles, which you can download by clicking on these links.
You can also mention these three simpler links, which point to the same files.
/legacy/janus3.pdf/legacy/janus3.pdf
Which trigger the download of these three files, named then:
janus1.pdf janus2.pdf janus3.pdf
Nothing prevents you from going to science forums (or those pretending to be such) and simply asking:
- I would like to hear the opinion of specialists regarding the Janus cosmological model (without mentioning my name), with the three reference articles published in high-level journals accessible at the addresses below:
/legacy/janus3.pdf/legacy/janus3.pdf
Such a message can also appear in the comment sections following videos of our "cosmology stars," like Luminet, Aurélien Barrau, Françoise Combes, Thibaud Damour, and others. You can also pose this question to Alain Connes, Carlo Rovelli, etc.
On the Futura Science forum, mentioning these references invalidates the moderator's statement placing me "outside the scientific community."
I continue working tirelessly to create and upload a long series of videos culminating in the presentation of my Janus cosmological model. It is April 18, and I am finishing the fourteenth episode, on the geometric context of my Janus model. Here are the first thirteen.
JANUS 1, Cosmology: Aristotle and Ptolemy Link
JANUS 2: Copernicus and Kepler Link
JANUS 3: Galileo Link
JANUS 4: Newton and Laplace Link
JANUS 5: The bankruptcy of common sense Link
JANUS 6: The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox Link
JANUS 7: On the non-existence of vacuum Link
JANUS 8: Special Relativity, Part I Link
JANUS 9: Special Relativity, Part II Link
JANUS 10: General Relativity Link
JANUS 11: The contemporary crisis in cosmology: Link
JANUS 12: The question of primordial antimatter: Link
JANUS 13: The (non) reactions of the Academy of Sciences Link
The next one, JANUS 14, will be titled "A paradigm shift."

Extraordinary....
The current news is entirely focused on the presidential election, whose lamentable spectacle discredits us in the eyes of foreign observers. Bourret and I are supposed to appear on Ardisson's show "Salut les Terriens" on May 4.
Everything I reveal, expose, and present in this series of videos should provoke reactions, both negative and positive. And it's not over. We can assume, hope, that it will provoke reactions. I want Ardisson to have access to the videos presenting Janus. I have three weeks. What disturbs me most is the silence of someone like Alain Connes, Fields Medalist mathematician. There are important geometric questions to address. But he cohabits with Thibaud Damour at the Institut des Hautes Études as a professor. This explains it.
