hey bro, where's your scholarly record of impactful publications?

Sir, this is a news website.

"Hurr durr, your physics isn't pretty enough and has too many coefficients to fit my childlike model of the universe. Clearly an approximation" - mimixco, 2020

that's not even remotely true.

That's kinda how politics works. Sorry to have to tell you :(

We already live in the diamond age. Maybe you haven't been paying attention.

How hard is it to understand that the mass of a proton isn't just because its constituent quarks have mass?

Dialogue can be very useful.

Here's what you're doing:

grizzles: I don't understand what's going on in a proton.

Physicist: actually, we know about it very well.

grizzles: I don't understand what you're saying, and don't care to find out, so I'm just going to disagree with you and say you have no experimental evidence.

Physicist: we actually have terabytes of evidence describing the different quarks and gluons within protons and neutrons.

grizzles: I don't care, and I'd rather live in Anaximander's land of indefinites and superstition.

Don't worry, He'll let all of us (and our civilization) "die" first, provided we don't somehow escape it.

Central forces don't guarantee that the universe is made of fractals. Nothing, for instance, orbits an electron within an atom (excluding spin-orbit coupling and other such quantum nonsense).
