Why? Your predictions, taken at face value, are wrong by tens to hundreds of standard deviations from what is observed. That doesn't even begin to tackle the issue of your arbitrary parameter choices for your 'theory'. > > Yes, it is a big job, but it must be done sooner or later. > > RLO > www.amherst.edu/~rloldershaw

There is a certain range of possibilities but we cannot know which possibility will happen. The greater the range of possibilities the less certain we are that a particular possibility will happen.

(that should be the reason to their (including you )!! 'mad' 'unreasonable enthusiasm to 'kill me' iow there is a well ''semi rational'' motivation for it so that there will be no one interested = to prove the theft .... though thousands of people were evidence to it and though anything is well recorded !!

I think General Relativity is the starting point for any realistic unification. I also think Schroedinger was right in his intuition, communicated to Einstein in 1938, that the wavefunction should NOT be understood in terms of probabilities, but rather should be understood in terms of matter waves (reminiscent of de Broglie too). But first one has to understand the gravitational dynamics of the microcosm and that requires Discrete Scale Relativity to explain the scaling of General Relativity and gravitation.
