Discussion:
THE FALSE START OF DEDUCTIVE SCIENCE

I'm not sure if the entities of physics exist in real life. Physicists
claim to have seen them but I have not. I've never seen an atom, or an
electron, or a photon, or a proton or a neutron. I've never seen these
particles with my own eyes that's why I'm not sure if they even exist.
That's why I have to rely on the physicists who claim to have seen
them.

I choose the term spiritual matter because I believe that semantics
and cognitive science also play a role in the physical world.

Some of the entities of physics I know exist for sure in the real
world like radiation and heat. Everyone can feel the heat of the sun's
radiation of his skin in a hot summer day. It's burning. But for other
entities like electrons, protons, photons and quarks I have strong
doubts if they really exist in the world.

And this opens yet another question: If electrons, protons and
neutrons really exist in the real world (and not just in theory), then
why aren't visible to the naked human eye? Why do we need powerful
instruments like scanning tunneling microscopes and particle
accelerators to really observe these particles?

Physics the way it is taught today is more a religion than a true
science. And this is where linguistic science and especially semantics
and also cognitive science come in to complete and to fill the holes
and gaps in physics education.

The universe doesn't give a rats ass how ignorant you are of its
workings. Deny them all and die.

Hey fucking stooopid, does H1N1 swine flu exist?
Hey fucking stooopid, did Rutherford see multiple MeV alpha particles
bounce off gold leaf onto a spinthariscope plate?

Hey fucking stooopid, what does the inside of a brick look like?

Hey fucking stooopid, do bacteria exist?
Hey fucking stooopid, do polymer molecules exist?
Hey fucking stooopid, does air exist? Does it diffuse through your
pressurized tires without there being a physical leak?
Hey fucking stooopid, does radiation exist?
Hey fucking stooopid, does magnetism exist?
Hey fucking stooopid, does hafnium-based 45 nm hi-k metal gate silicon
CPU technology exist?

Aristotle, 476 AD to 1054 AD, Timmy Aquinas, scientific socialism,
diversity... bullshit. There exist only engineering solutions.
Empirical reality cannot be bribed, seduced, legislated, or avoided.

At first, we should define the meaning of "real existance". But this is
question to philosofers, not to physicist...

In fact, it makes no difference to physics. When we have model, that is
correct with observations, we can use it.

Sorry for my poor English.
