Alex there is no such thing as 'scientific belief' along the same lines of religious dogma. If anything it is pedantry generally voiced by the scientifically illiterate. Reality is almost always counterintuitive.

Most practicing scientists are well aware of the problems due to our lack of perfect knowledge. We can only deal with the mathematical models that seem to work in the real world that we currently have.

If you have some evidence to show the current paradigm is 'wrong' then by all means publish the evidence. That is how science works.

Without speculation or 'gedunken' experiments we stay at our current level of ignorance.

Even Einstein disliked or preferred that Quantum Physics was a temporary aberration. He was completely wrong.

The harmonic oscillator has been used in Physics for a long time. It mathematically mimics reality where the springs are the forces between tiny particles of arbitrary mass. You may as well say that our written words convey no REAL meaning as they are not based in any REALity. They are just chicken scratchings in the sand.

The alternative is to go back to simple stimulus and reaction lives just like bacteria. Hungry then eat. Scared then kill or run. Horny then procreate. Or you could be scared of your young so just kill and eat them. Tabloid 'journalism' thrives on this drivel. This just will not lead to a symphony or lyric or image.

Do not make the mistake that one delusional individual or many is proof that all or part of science is wrong.

We live in a world where uneducated morons think that creationism should have equal time with evolution in science classes. Global warming is a religion rather than evidence based fact. These same twits are now saying that atheism is a religion. Next all of science will be a religion.

These uneducated morons are using something called projection where they think that all other people are just as deluded as themselves. Where without any evidence or any real thought they believe the most preposterous of stories that amounts to no more than fairy tales.

Without a good understanding of quantum mechanics and relativity our modern world would not exist. This is just the pinnacle of our understanding from fifty years ago turned into a practical use. Yet 99.99% of humanity does NOT know how it all works. They sit in their airliner fiddling with their laptop or smartphone and take it all for granted. These are the same twits who then get all emotional when something goes wrong!

A good current case is the dam engineers who caused the Queensland floods! I reckon it was the excess water that fell as rain.

I have been a part of the structural biological revolution. You would not believe what we are capable of even now let alone into the near the future.
