thats like theoretical science ?
the hadron collider is particle physics ?
Not all of it
No, why would you think it's theoretical?
quantam mechanics ? i thought that was theoretical
It isn't.
The calculations are.
so some of it is theory ?
But the predictions of the calculations are put very much into practice.
Theory backed up with proof and experimentation that show it to be true
but not facts?
jsut theory ?
Theory that is shown to be true, ergo it is fact
Science doesn't deal with facts per se
so none of it is theory ?
gotta run later guys
Or do you want to keep sliding them goalposts
Oh, convenient that
Science constructs predictions based on calculations, observations and experiments
To give you a concrete example, according to radioactive decay theory, this Sr-90 probe has a β- decay. This means that after a certain amount of time, a neutron will decay into a proton by emitting an Electron, conserving electrical share, and an election anti-neutrino, conserving the lepton number. *In theory* if you put Sr-90 into a magnetic field, the electrons emitted should follow the magnetic lines into the desired direction. Depending on the strength of the magnetic field you can also determine the energy of the electrons.
Now the point of all this is because this is *literally* how we detect beta decay using certain Geiger counters. So clearly, the theory works both on paper and in experiments
Yes, it would seem so
Pfft, let's see
Gravity is unproven and self-contradicting
You can't defend something rooted in nonsense
How so
Elaborate, please
Can you give me one concrete proof of gravity?
Of mass attracting mass
No, because there is none
Gravity is unproven
Gravity is the accepted scientific norm, therefore it is up to you to provide the burden of proof that it is not correct
You claim that mass attracts mass
It's your burden to prove that
Appeal to authority fallacy doesn't work here
Cavendish experiment set the framework for mass-mass attraction, ever since then countless more experiments have been done. And as I said before, any particle that has a nonzero Mass-momentum-stress tensor is affected by gravity. You can show the existence of gravitational wells using the bending of light, for example.
Besides, I'll need to find the video but there was an experiment done on the so called vomit comet, the aircraft that is used to simulate very low gravity environments easily where they take a transparent box with some dirt in it up into the aircraft, then when the gravity weakens it floats upwards and goes from a loose collection of dirt to distinct clumps
Yes.
That's not it's name.
