> Physics has made no progress. It has discovered no stable facts. Everything physicist have said, they have said the opposite ten or twenty years later (if not much sooner). They literally know nothing. After a century of countless experiments, the most common, most basic problem they’ve addressed —the basic elements of particles— is completely unsolved. If they can’t figure that out, anything more sophisticated seems hopeless.
A very generic counterpoint.
- purpleflame1257 3y agoOn the contrary! The basic elements of particles is the most complex problem. Simpler issues like orbital mechanics have been solved.
- omginternets 3y agoYour counterpoint is demonstrably wrong. We landed men on the moon as a direct result of our understanding of physics, to say nothing of bridges built, supersonic planes flown, the fluid mechanics that underpin popelines, dams, etc. Nutritional science has no such trophies
