Nope. You claimed "physicists know better". The only way physicists
"know" anything is to gather evidence by doing experiments. If, as you
claim, physicists know that Unc's speculation is wrong, it has to be
because experiment has shown it to be so.

Which physicists have done said experiments?

Some things are "obvious" unless you're oblivious.

Not necessarily true.

Thanks for the rewording.

Feel like you've been hooked by an obvious troll?

Sure, and the Earth is "obviously" flat.

Only to those who prefer "the scientific method" to intuition.

A distinction without a difference.

I have read it. All of it. According to that document, no physicists
have done experiments investigating the possible handedness of
spacetime.

IFYPFY.

And yes, I do, thanks for asking.

One of the refuges of a scoundrel.

Altering the verbiage of your opponent is another,

Since you won't actually address my arguments, I have no choice but
to mock you.

Quit whining and address my arguments, or admit you have no worthy
counter-arguments.

Not.
