As I said, even if your 'prediction' were confirmed it wouldn't mean your explanation is the correct one. Partly because you cannot predict the size of the effect, much like Newton can predict precession but not the right amount.
But you cannot make a better product if you don't know the principles by which the components work. Without a good quantitative grasp of subatomic processes we couldn't manufacture computer chips. Without a good quantitative grasp of gravity we couldn't manufacture GPS systems. Without a good quantitative grasp of gravity and basic mechanics we couldn't build rockets as we'd not know how much fuel is needed.
Technology is based on more than "This effect exists", it requires precise modelling of the effect. Since you're claiming an effect no mainstream model claims if it exists there's no model for it and thus it cannot be incorporated into technological products. Science is more than "Throw a ball up and it comes down", it's about where and when it comes down, how high it got, the speed it moves through it's trajectory etc.
Besides, I don't think you're really in a position to be telling anyone the role physics takes in the real world. I'm not even sure you're fully attached to the real world.
Speaking as someone currently working on the quantum mechanics of molecules I'm more than a little aware of how it works. The problem is I think you aren't. Sorry, I
know you aren't.
And if we had a device which turned water into ice cream we could destroy the environment.
Except you aren't doing a thought experiment, you're asserting something about the real world. A thought experiment only makes sense if you're either using demonstrated facts about the real world (and aether isn't one) or you're doing a thought experiment about what a particular model says. You don't have a model, thus you're not doing a proper thought experiment. You're just asserting opinion.
I've never been 'trained' in logical fallacies. At no point in my uni education did I take a course in logic. I have taken a 12 hour (2 hours a week for 6 weeks) adult learning course in philosophy but that didn't cover them either. I learnt to identify logical fallacies by having a rational mind. Plus I'm an atheist and wacko religious people wheel out more logical fallacies than anyone else.
Yes, all that useless crap like the underlying models used to design and manufacture the computer you're looking at, the models used to design the fibre optics and satellite systems through which we're currently communicating. The models used to develop non-invasive medical scanning technologies which save lives.
Anyone in the Western World who views the stuff covered in university maths and physics courses as 'useless crap' is just plain ridiculous (ie deserving of ridicule) because the Western World is a testament to precisely those things.
No, I'm just able to see beyond the narrow confined of my every day experience, while you are not. I've already given an example of how your own believes contradict your common sense. I've
proven your approach to things is flawed. You have refused to address that for many many pages now. Do you think no one else notices it? Do you think if you just don't reply that everyone will forget your own common sense contradicts your beliefs?
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts....
Yes, changing the laws of physics will change Nature, which runs on the laws of physics. Got any other astoundingly insightful tautologies you want to throw at me?
Maxwell's original work had nothing to do with virtual photons. Maxwell's equations do not necessarily require an underlying quantum world to be valid. It just happens that when you use a few basic quantum field theoretic principles you can derive Maxwell's equations from a more fundamental view point.
Turning off the electromagnetic charges of all particles wouldn't make neutrons and protons fell apart. They are bound by the strong nuclear force via gluons, not photons. You have also just shown that you don't understand what charge even means. Turning off somethings charge, in a thought experiment, doesn't make it cease to exist. In fact that particular thought experiment is easy to do in the Standard Model. Write down the SM Lagrangian, including all couplings, and then just turn off the EM coupling terms. For the QED Lagrangian this would give a free theory but in the full SM it doesn't because there's other gauge fields. Do you think the only potential the Schrodinger equation can have is electromagnetic? Hardly!
Yet another example of how your logic and reasoning is completely destroyed by your ignorance.
As I said, you can explore this particular concept in the SM by doing precisely that. A great many physicists constructed many similar Lagrangians, with various new particle fields and couplings, to that they could predict what such a set of particles would do in the LHC. As data from the LHC comes in some of the models are falsified. That's the bread and butter of many particle physicists' research!
Once again you've shown you have no idea what the science actually involves. You aren't asking novel questions or challenging people. The best you can manage is ask some question you think it rhetorical and unanswerable without invoking an aether when in fact it's something anyone learning QFT in university will be able to answer
without invoking an aether.
You are not as insightful as you think. Not by a long long way.
Nature doesn't 'measure' things, you're anthropomorphising it. When you jump in the air do you have to measure the force your legs apply to the ground and solve some equations? Of course not, just as in Nature things just do what they do, they don't 'measure' things. As for whether space-time will still work, the space-time in mainstream models is not contingent on the fields without it. GR can describe space-time without having to assume there's something in it.
If you had bothered to learn something about what science says you'd not be making an arse of yourself by asking such questions as if they are not considered by mainstream science or are somehow deeply insightful. They aren't.
Now you're just being a flat out liar. I explained a page or two ago that it isn't because you say "Aliens told me" but because there's nothing scientific about your claims. You even
quoted me saying it so you cannot claim you haven't read it.
You're now just sinking to outright lying, plain and simple. Well done, you're not just a hack, you're a demonstrable liar.
