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. Any
demands on your part to get it anyway are going to be ignored.

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.

You feign hypothesis. If you didn't you would provide physical
explanations for the following:

- The future determining the past
- Virtual particles which exist out of nothing
- Conservation of momentum does not apply to a downgraded photon pair
- A C-60 molecule can enter, travel through, and exit multiple slits
simultaneously without requiring energy, releasing energy, or having
a change in momentum.
- Matter causes physical space to be 'unflat' but not move

The above are physically answered:

- A C-60 molecule enters and exits a single slit while the associate
aether displacement wave enters and exits available slits
- Pressure exerted by aether displaced by matter forces the plates
together
- Conservation of momentum does apply to a downgraded photon pair.
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. Aether is displaced by
matter.

Exactly. 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.
