Sorry.

Man, you don't understand how science evolves. You feel threatened because you think Rodin's(and a growing amount of others) model would erase everything such as QCD... but it won't! It will just reveal more comprehensively what is actually being described by QCD.

Have we all given up on Rodin's theories having anything to do with reality?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, right? Your claim is that Rodin's theories have nothing to do with 'reality'... is it not?
I believe the burden of evidence is on the person making the claim. Please provide evidence that Rodin's theories have nothing to do with 'reality'.
And also, please refrain from using your dogmatic preconception of what 'reality' is as a basis for judging Rodin's theories.

I am a bit of both. I believe in some things that can't be proven objectively because of religious experience but I don't think it's honest at all to pass up what isn't science as science. That's why many New Age quacks turn me off so much. They use all these technical terms and act as if they are saying something of importance, but usually what they pass of as "scientific" truth isn't scientific at all.

Okay, where's the mapping?
To be fair, shouldn't we apply the same standard to any scientific claim?

Yes, we know that there is a an equivalence between energy and mass, as per e = mc^2. This is a result derived from arguments by relativity.
But what is the elastic substance? Are we simply assuming there is one to get the equation to say what we want it to?
EDIT: Looks like the jokes on me again. They give these crank sites as math work and I end up reading it and taking it seriously.edit on 17-2-2011 by 547000 because: (no reason given)

When Einstein claimed that gravity bends light, if we took this forum back to 1915 and Einstein posted that claim here, I could see myself or buddhasystem or bobathon asking Einstein if this has ever been observed in the real world.
Then Einstein would reply that his associate Freundlich was trying to observe an eclipse in Russia to prove his theory with real world observations, but the Russians arrested Freundlich and his team as Russian spies. Then I'd wonder if that was a "dog ate my homework" excuse for not having any real world observation to back up the claim, and I'd have to wait a couple of years before someone else would observe an eclipse and finally prove that Einstein wasn't just another crackpot with a theory that had no connection to real world observations.
Einstein himself had shown in 1915 how his theory explained the anomalous perihelion advance of the planet Mercury without any arbitrary parameters
From my perspective, I'm willing to give buddhasystem a few years to come up with the observations to prove his chakra theory, if he's got a game plan like Einstein did on how he'd prove his theory with real world observations. And from my perspective his chakra theory doesn't sound any more or less plausible than anything written by Rodin or Keely.
Point taken, however as discovery.org says:

So he already had facts straightened out. Second, there was verifiable math that could be gracefully reduced to classical case. So that's another difference between him and charlatans du jour.

I may be taking that slightly out of context but not too much, they basically point out the importance of the prediction versus the retrodiction, though I'd even settle for a retrodiction in the case of some of these alternate theories just to see SOME kind of connection to reality. But yes I'm guilty of glossing over some of his earlier contributions like his "miracle year" papers in 1905, etc, but I was just trying to illustrate that even an Einstein has to prove his stuff with observations, nobody is exempt, so that's the message I don't want to get lost in our discussion of the details which I'm sure we agree on.
The solar eclipse observations, unlike the advance of Mercury’s perihelion, confirmed General Relativity.
I agree, the Rodin/Keely theory has no evidence relating to real world observations in over 100 years.
There is at least a set of observables that map onto chakras, i.e. different types of stars map onto the colors of chakras. See Harvard Spectral Classification. It's clearly not a mere coincidence that the colors and the actual number of star classes map onto the chakra diagram one-to-one! Look, Rodin doesn't have any of that.
