Your inability to grasp physics and science in general hardly qualifies as a rebuttal.

Science is not practiced by wildass generalizations using ill-defined and quite possibly meaningless terms. Bold extensions and generalizations certainly are allowed, but they then must be backed by PROOF. Part of that proof will inevitably reside in existing science, because the new generalization must explain existing fact. Part, for a theory to be useful, must consist of facts yet to be discovered- -predictions. The validation by later observation of those predictions validates the theory.

And in physics, part of the theory will consist of mathematics- -equations.

So give me the equation for the psychological blow I just delivered to you.
