re: #593 Dragonwolf

Last time I checked scientific research they had realized that there are instances where those equations of your’s don’t quite hold up. (in sub-atomic areas where gravitics and angular momentum don’t follow prescribed patterns - and around black holes where pretty much everything gets screwy)

That equations they show me that are fully consistent with all experimental observations I will accept, for now.

To accept what we have now as the final answer would be bad science.

In science the “final answer” is rare. The Coldwater Labs elegant experiment definitively showing deoxyribonucleic acid as the genetic information carrier is the exception not the rule.

“I don’t know” isn’t a weakness, it’s a strength. Religion papers over “I don’t know” with “a miracle happen”. Science is driven by “I don’t know.”

A theory having a number of “I don’t knows” in it doesn’t invalidate a theory.

Gravity is a field rife with “I don’t knows” it still unknown, the actually mechanism that that allows bodies of mass to influence each other over distance. We know it does both through direct and indirect observation, we don’t know how, we have not observed the mechanism of gravity, just the result. Do you similarly dismiss gravity because we don’t know how it works?
