Have you ever heard of elliptical galaxies, which are actually more
common than disk galaxies in many environments.

Have you ever heard of galactic halos, or roughly spherical clusters
of galaxies?

Is the observable universe planar?

NO! ONLY YOUR PATHETIC THINKING IS 2-DIMENSIONAL.

At www.amherst.edu/~rloldershaw I discuss direct physical analogoue
phenomena indicating fine structure in stellar oscillations. See the
"New Development" on stellar magnetic cycles like the Sun's solar
cycle, and yes the freq/periods match up quite well.

Try again, Woofster, you dog you.

I have worked out a 5th force,and it is "Time moving backwards" It is
very profound thinking. It is my last and most far out theory. Reality
is it takes away the ant-matter theory. It make GUT reality TreBert

Good post Faster than light creates great problems. Light slowing
down leaves the unanswered question. "What energy kicks it back up to
see?" Gravity can't slow down photons. Reality is it makes them give
up energy. TreBert

But there are clearly NOT - several examples of which Eric has already
listed. What is the Stellar analogue of spin-orbit coupling? Nuclear
spin statistics?

First of all, your connection between atomic "transitions" and the
oscillatory periods of variable stars is very tenuous - and I am not
even an astronomer. No matter what transition you need, if you look
long enough, you'll find it. BTW, you never clearly explain the "self"
part of "self-similarity".

Since electrons are elementary point particles with no substructure,
your theory is clearly in error. Just because something has a
periodicity that is some factor of some other periodicity is only
coincidence. Even if it weren't, it still does not prove your point.
Your self-similarity needs to be STRUCTURAL - but it isn't.

What exactly are you mapping conformally? Please state the function
that maps conformally between the atomic and stellar domains.

I am a chemist, so I don't have an axe to grind either way.

Elliptical galaxies have gone through gravitational interactions with other
large objects. Review the literature.

More planar than not.

Unless you mean dark matter halos. No electromagnetic friction to slow the
material down and condense it into a disc.

Multibody interactions scatter members all over the place. Review the
literature.

Is the universe one bound structure? Don't be stupid, if you can help it.

Conservation of angular momentum keeps stuff in a plane. Review a classical
mechanics textbook.

It is rather obvious that you are guessing. There are exactly zero physical
analogies between an atom and a star.

While you sit there and make fun of me every time I dismantle your idiocy,
remember that USENET is the only place left that even pays attention to you
anymore. If you didn't like the attention, you'd just be content to spew
onto a blog.

You haven't had a publication in a non-fringe journal since 1990.
