Craig,
The only inaccuracy in Physicist's otherwise precise commentary in the Thunderbolts forum is the claim that EU takes physics back to 1900.
In reality it is more like 1800. In 1800 before the advent of electrodynamics, the consensus was that everything could be explained by Newtonian physics, much like everything today in the EU sense can be explained by electrical currents, potentials and magnetic fields.
Alex,
Have you ever found an electron? Electrons have never been observed directly in nature or in the laboratory. Should we therefore adopt your standard as for black holes or neutron stars, that electrons are hypothetical entities.
Isn't ironical that for an "empirical" science like EU or PC, the fundamental building block, the electron, has never been directly observed.
Gentlemen have a Merry Christmas.
