No. It's because experiments say so. Experiments are how we consult nature. Thereby, it is nature that says so, whether you understand or accept the physical explanations or not. You demand a physical explanation that you will accept before you are willing to believe what physicists say. Sorry, you won't get that. What you will get is a comparison of models against experimental data. The model that matches experimental data is the one that is right, because nature has selected the model that is right, via experiment. Then what that model says is right, whether you buy the physical explanation or not. I do understand what you want from science. You just aren't going to get it. You may not be happy with that, but that's too bad. Somewhere along the line, you must have gotten the impression that the goal of science was to provide physical explanations that you are inclined to believe. It is not the goal of science to do so.

The other poster said it best when quoting Newton, "Hypotheses non fingo": "I have not as yet been able to discover the reason for these properties of gravity from phenomena, and I do not feign hypotheses. For whatever is not deduced from the phenomena must be called a hypothesis; and hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, or based on occult qualities, or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy. In this philosophy particular propositions are inferred from the phenomena, and afterwards rendered general by induction." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotheses_non_fingo) Newton was able to make correct predictions. Newton realized this was different the understanding the cause of gravity.

When a photon is detected its wave collapses which determines its spin. In order for the original photons momentum to be conserved, the downgraded photon pair have opposite angular momentums. - A C-60 molecule enters and exits a single slit while the associate aether displacement wave enters and exits available slits - Physical space is displaced by matter.

As I told you, if you demand physical explanations for things, especially ones that you find believable, you are barking up the wrong tree. There are ALWAYS unanswered questions about "what is physically going on" in a theory. What science does is determine models that agree quantitatively with measurements. This is what science does. It does NOT provide complete and final answers to "what is physically going on". Now, you have some statements that you believe represent answers to "what is physically going on". But you do not have a model that can be quantitatively compared to experiments. So what you have is satisfying to YOU, but it is not scientific. What you want, and what science does, are apparently two completely different things. Someone, somewhere, told you that science provides ultimate physical explanations for what's going on. That was a lie. That is not what science does. > > You feign hypothesis. If you didn't you would provide physical > explanations for the following: > |
