Re: Sad! ...

"According to your thinking much of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics should have been discarded as there were aspects of both that had to wait decades for the development of suitable technology to validate"

First of all, that is not what I said. I said that an electrical engineer should not pretend he is a nuclear physicist just as a chemist is not an electrical engineer. People who tweak amplifier circuits for a living are not usually expert on how atoms and subatomic particles behave in poorly understood phenomena to pontificate about why the crap wires they like or sell or advertise are somehow better. They do this for many reasons not having to do with finding legitimate scientific explanations for which they have no proof but to intellectually intimidate and impress those who have no scientific or technical knowledge or training at all. In one infamous posting, the asylum member embarrassed himself to the point where he admitted that he didn't even know how to calculate Fermi Velocity and came up with two numbers for the same problem many orders of magnitude apart.

As for unproven scientific theories which are questionable, they are not discarded, they are like all new theories held in obeyance until experiments can be devised to prove their validity or invalidity. That is exactly what happened to the theory of relativity and it is now one of the most proven theories in physics. Again, you should stay away from all technical and scientific disciplines to earn a living. You do not think along the lines of logic and consistance to be successful at it.
