I'm sorry, but that's also not true. The alphas all had different
impact parameters with respect to the nucleus, and this is what in
fact produces the *distribution* of the scattered alphas. It's EXACTLY
the same thing, which is precisely why the children's museum exhibit
is so instructive.

No, not orbiting. In an orbital. With kinetic energy. Different thing,
subtle but crucial.

You can do more than calculate it. You can MEASURE it. You MEASURE the
kinetic energy of the ejected electrons, and you compare it to the
energy you injected to eject it. The difference will give you
information about the kinetic energy it had inside the atom.

Of course it helps that atomic theory also accurately predicts that
number. This comparison between the theoretical prediction and the
measurement is how you know the theory is right.

See above. The essence of physics is that it is not just a dispute
between theories. Your model and the prevailing model make different
assumptions, and so of course there are different claims about what
you can calculate and what you can't. If all physics did was to put
those two models up against each other, then there would be no way to
resolve which one was right except by some argument about which one
makes more sense. But this is not how science resolves which one is
right. Science makes the resolution between two theories by comparing
the two models against experimental measurement to see which one gets
the NUMBERS right, relative to the measured values -- and doing this
especially in the places where the two models make different
predictions.

Physics isn't about building explanations that make intuitive sense.
It's about building models that make the best and most comprehensive
set of accurate experimental predictions.

I don't know what you think is insane about it.

It is better because -- unlike planetary epicycles -- it makes
accurate experimental PREdictions, not POSTdictions.

No, I'm sorry, but common sense is a liar and a cheat.

That's a broad, vague and useless statement. Where is the patent

Sorry, Franklin, but you don't need matter to "work" with it.
Physicists have been working with nonmatter physical entities for
decades.

There is no proof of gluons. They are an unverifiable theory.
Has anyone ever observed virtual light?

That's also wrong, Mitch. Gluons have been proven to exist in 3-jet
