On learning about the work of Michael Boylan-Kolchin

TO: Dr. Michael Boylan-Kolchin, University of Texas-Austin, Texas
FM: Bruce E. Camber
RE: Information from your homepage, plus your arXiv (181) articles, your openness on GitHub, your Google Scholar listings, inSpireHEP listings, and Twitter-X, UT-Austin News, and Videos. Yet, especially for this article, Stress Testing ΛCDM with High-redshift Galaxy Candidates, ArXiv, February 2023 and Primary: Nat Astron 7, 731–735 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41550-023-01937-7 where you said, “Even if you took everything that was available to form stars and snapped your fingers instantaneously, you still wouldn’t be able to get that big that early. It would be a real revolution.”

Comment: It is a real revolution: Spirited people like Michael Boylan-Kolchin know what they”ll be doing for the rest of their life. An expert among experts on the redshift, deep within the University of Texas-Austin, his group will be refining it. Very-fine-tuning is our future.

Quick Note: 19 February 2024

Some didn’t like the lack of formatting in that article on Feb 7 (I sent the link on Feb 9). Very similar, but with a positive attitude and a more classic format: https://81018.com/reformat/. Thanks. –BEC

Third email: 9 February 2024

Dear Prof. Dr. Michael Boylan-Kolchin:

This is my third email in five months. That’s too much from one of us plebeians outside your scholarly-circles, yet sometimes naive questions and observations can change the metaphor. I will now consciously limit my email to no more than one per year. My little summary of failures of big bang cosmology is here: https://81018.com/bbc/ There is a relatively small gang of us, mostly high school teachers and friends, who are asking, “Where is the failure of logic and mathematics?” If you know, we would be so grateful to learn from you.

Warmly,

Bruce

PS. You can find all the emails here: https://81018.com/boylan/

Second email: 13 October 2023 at 11 AM

Dear Prof. Dr. Michael Boylan-Kolchin:

You might find our next homepage to be of interest. I just added the April 13, 2023 UT News article to the resources of that homepage. It is the one that extensively quotes you. I am glad we are in “uncharted territory.” Science needs a little humility, a sense of rediscovery, and more openness.

The new page will become a homepage sometime tomorrow. At that time the URL https://81018.com will take you to it. For now, the URL is https://81018.com/butterworth/ because the note went to Jon Butterworth of the University College of London. There is a similar link to my message to you: https://81018.com/boylan/ where I’ll keep a running overview of my emails and references to your current work. Again, I thank you for everything you do to bring integrity and openness to our scientific inquiries.

Warmly,

Bruce

First email:  22 August 2023 at about 3 PM

Dear Prof. Dr. Michael Boylan-Kolchin:

You are one the key quotes at the top of our homepage: https://81018.com/jwst/

For each of the scholar/scientists that are quoted, I’ve created a reference page to remind me about that scholar’s work, plus a record of my emails, instant messages, and the like. My reference page to your work is here: https://81018.com/boylan/

Comments and questions? If so, I am anxious to please and will respond immediately. Thank you.

Warmly,

Bruce

PS. Excellent. Nature article in ArXiv: Stress Testing ΛCDM with High-redshift Galaxy Candidates.
