Re: “that's actually interesting to me. Thanks De! Thumbs Up ” To me as well. Glad you liked it.

The article makes an interesting point with broader implications. It notes that general relativity and quantum mechanics are mutually exclusive. They cannot both be correct. They might, in fact, both be wrong and scientists are challenged to figure out whether they are.

The broader implication is that science doesn't usually prove theories RIGHT. But it may prove them wrong and should always strive to. A single "wrong" case disproves a theory. In many cases, an infinite number of "right" cases would be needed to prove it, so no such attempt is made. (An exception exists if a theory has limited possible outcomes - such as a theory that a flipped coin will always land heads, tails, on its edge or not at all.)

The reason this matters is that global warming theory is supposedly "accepted" by scientists and shouldn't be questioned. That's utter rubbish. Scientists must ALWAYS question theories, trying to see if they can prove them wrong or come up with better theories. Those who say "the debate is over" are scientific morons.
