I agree almost fully and completely. However, one of the prime directives of professional befuddlement dictates that you must, where possible, support your insanity, scheme, con with perfectly beautiful baffling numbers. The thicker the better, and they need not reflect any extant reality at all except in the broadest sense. This eliminates 90% of casual inquiry thus stifling the bulk of prying and grumbling from the lower deck slobs like myself.
Some words from my sponsers which I copied to clip several minutes ago prior to my arrival here this morning, on a gut feeling, spooky sometimes, a true dark matter methinks.

The cultural historian, Jaques Barzun, defined specialism as “a piece of etiquette which decrees that no specialist shall bother with the concerns of another, lest he be thought intruding and be shown up as ignorant. Specialism is born of what the philosopher Arthur Balfour called ‘the pernicious doctrine that superficial knowledge is worse than no knowledge at all.’ Rampant specialism, an arbitrary and purely social evil, is not recognized for the crabbed guild spirit that it is, and few are bold enough to say that carving out a small domain and exhausting its soil affords as much chance for protected irresponsibility as for scientific thoroughness.” —Science: the glorious entertainment.
The plasma cosmologist Eric Lerner, author of The Big Bang never Happened, says “one of the most destructive features of the methodology of the big bang is that it conveys the idea that only people versed in extremely complicated mathematics can understand the universe… This is, of course, the argument of the emperor’s new clothes. If you can’t see the emperor’s new clothes you must be either stupid or incompetent.”
Engineers are neither stupid nor incompetent. Much of the hyped success of science over the last century can be attributed to engineers. And it is engineers who tend to prefer the real-world simplicity of the Electric Universe to the metaphysics of the big bang and black holes.
====================
A long time ago I wrote you that I had great respect and admiration for math, so much in fact that if and when I needed it I would hire a math professional and or purchase an expensive calculator. My point has been and continues to be that physics comes first followed by math, where necessary. I refuse to be denied because I am not something the paradigm cuddles, and there are millions of us similarly displeased by academia, not only the sciences but literally the whole of the corrupted institution. Thank you for being my part time science teacher, and I am sincere in that, every ball needs a wall.:smile:
