Very well said! I heard someone on the Joe Rogan podcast describe science as faith. There's nothing in the universe that says gravity today must act like gravity tomorrow. We basically take it on faith that we understand gravity and th

I remember a teacher in the 80s asking the class when humans proved the Earth was round. The correct answer for her was when an astronaut took a picture from outer space. While I'm sure your theory fits for some, there's also some
