most can't be 100% proved or disproved.
Nothing can be proven 100%. Also a kind of uncertainty
It's been a while since I solved schrödinger equations and shit I hated this quantum stuff ...

Fortunately Einstein did not lie down at the feet of the accepted scientific views of the time. Had he we would probably still use “ether” to explain that which we do not understand.
Do I know him?I have a friend Brian Cox, he may be able to discuss I will send him a message to see if he’ll comment
Regards
I am not a physicist. But I do come into contact with some of them since my day job is wrangling high performance computers on behalf of people who do scientific research. I worked very hard for a few years on the Belle II project, which is running a particle accelerator and detector in Japan to try and figure out why there's so much more matter than antimatter in the known universe. Theory says there should be roughly equal amounts of both, but as best we know, there is not. In the field this is known as "CP Violation" and it's a big problem.
The very good point was made earlier that the particles in the double-slit experiment have behaviors that are both wave-like and particle-like. IOW their behavior can be described by those two things, but it doesn't fully explain why they do what they do. Quantum theory and the "standard model" that describes matter at the subatomic level is incredibly weird stuff, probably in part because it's incomplete. There's a lot to it that we don't understand and particle physicists are desperate to find the "new physics" that fills in the gaps they know are there.
But the really astonishing thing about those super-weird theories is that they are really good at predicting things that ought to exist, and have subsequently been discovered to exist (the Higgs boson being the most recent and best-known).
Actually, no ...it’s still all theoretical...no one has directly observed particles popping in and out of existence.
I am sure you would. You accept the current scientific status quo. Fortunately Einstein did not lie down at the feet of the accepted scientific views of the time. Had he we would probably still use “ether” to explain that which we do not understand.
You are right about one thing. I would not take you seriously. You have the same arrogance that my professors had as well as an inability to step outside of the box that you don’t realize you are in. There are plenty of boring books for that.
If not for the slight edge of Matter over Anti-Matter...we would not be here enjoying the Fractal heavenly bliss!!
Perhaps the result of those annihilations is the particles we’ve been able to observe thus far. Maybe then most of the dark matter has been used up, and whatever’s left missed the target in the initial collision aka the big bang. Hence that remnant has dispersed to the farthest margin of the universe as we understand it.We believe that anti-matter and matter annihilate each other when they encounter one another.
What was the root cause for this conversation? Cliff wanted to order new strings and found an article about string theory. Couldn‘t stop reading and is now working on a quantum computer out of dark matter. I hope it won‘t be heavier that the Axe Fx III.Out of this conversation, I have been able to deduce 2 things:
1. We have some really fookin' smart people on this board.
2. I'm not one of them.
Your context post is well taken, however your use of the “aether” analogy may not be appropriate.
Einstein was enamored with light. Einstein invented his Special Theory of Relativity and presented it to the world in 1905. In his STR he got rid of the “aether”. His reason for doing so is very complex and highly controversial, and he has his reasons for doing so.
But by doing so....he got rid of the very means by which James Clerk Maxwell formulated His most notable achievement ....the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, bringing together for the first time electricity, magnetism, and light as different manifestations of the same phenomenon. Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism have been called the "second great unification in physics".
Maxwell equations was based on the “aether”.
Einstein struggled with that for sure ...but he must get rid of the “aether”. Einstein admitted if the “aether” exists ...his theory goes up in smoke.
Soon problems arose with his STR. Einstein either forgot, overlooked or ignored the forces of gravity, centrifugal and other forces in his STR rendering it useless. It only applies to places where these forces are not present. Name a place in the universe where these forces are not present?
Einstein had to re-invent his STR with gravity and other forces in the mix.
But in doing so ....Einstein HAD TO BRING BACK the “aether”
This is his General Theory of Relativity which he presented to the world in 1915.
In doing so however, Einstein states that this “aether” is “non-ponderable” ....Yet ...George Sagnac detected the aether in 1913 ...ie the Sagnac Effect and so did Albert Michelson in 1881 in Germany, 1887 in the U.S. and again in 1925 (M/G).
Now how does this abode with Einstein’s statement “If the aether exists his theory is falsified”?
1/2 a century later theorists have the universe permeating with quantum particles filling the vacuum of space! ....can anyone say “aether”?
....and is James Clerk Maxwell breathing a sigh of relief in his grave?
Perhaps the result of those annihilations is the particles we’ve been able to observe thus far. Maybe then most of the dark matter has been used up, and whatever’s left missed the target in the initial collision aka the big bang. Hence that remnant has dispersed to the farthest margin of the universe as we understand it.
In order for collisions to occur, there must be at least two things colliding.... and they have to have some substance, at keast in irder to be constructive. On the other hand, waves can destruct.
Do I know him?
