Theorists from science, or more precisely, the priests of science, have created a huge code of “laws of nature”, which, in their opinion, nature should follow and just as true to these dogmas there should be applicants for the title of “scientist”, and already “scientists” when fulfilling “Scientific” works, in the process of training and promotion to positions in the “temples of science” applicants for these positions. Based on their “laws”, the priests created standard, mathematically verified, “models” of all natural phenomena. They, of course, saw that nature did not follow these “laws” at all. But, sincerely believing that the “laws” based on mathematical formulas are absolutely correct, theorists, without any observation, ad hoc, invented a huge number of different pseudo-elements correcting their “models” of natural phenomena so that at least in some way they would be similar to that, what is being modeled.
Newton defined a mathematical formula for the “law of universal gravitation”. At the same time, he said that he did not know the nature of gravitation, and did not invent hypotheses.
The priests, however, invented the “nature” of this phenomenon in such a way that the “gravitating” bodies “bend” the space and “slide” towards each other along this “curved” space.
Violation of Newton’s “law” by Mercury, for the priests who put mathematics above nature, did not become a problem, they found formulas that trample on absolutely everything, space, time, and mass. The priests of science declared that space is also time, capable of stretching and contracting, bending under weight, having several geometries, and an unknown number of dimensions.
When, according to some observations, it turned out that the motion of stars in galaxies does not obey Newton’s “law”, the priests, adjusting the observed under the formula, invented that 95% of the mass of galaxies is “dark matter”.
Incredible quark-gluon miracles were invented in the process of creating a model of the microworld and, in particular, a model of the atom … For example, when understanding beta decay, the priests first postulated the energy with which an electron leaves the nucleus, and then, having discovered that the real energies of electrons leaving the nucleus were very different “Neutrino” does not interact with anything, but carries away the “excess” of energy. The pinnacle of inventions in the Standard Model of the microworld was the Higgs boson – “a particle of God”, “responsible for the mass of elementary particles”, without which the substance of our Universe “would not exist”.
But the priests invented simply indescribable miracles when creating models of “fields”: “… if the fields are not made of matter, it is probably the fields that are fundamental matter. Matter must then be made of fields” (Lee Smolin “Trouble with Physics: The Rise of Theory strings, the decline of science and what follows “).
Interestingly, the Higgs model was adopted from many equally fantastic models, simply by voting. The story repeated itself with a vote on whether Einstein’s theories should be the basis of physical models, or not. Then they voted in favor of Einstein’s theories, which led to a vote on the Higgs boson.
With regard to the “particle of God”, everyone was in favor, otherwise it would be necessary to admit that theorists had long ago taken physics into the realm of fantasy. For the “search” of the “particles of God” they gave 15 billion US dollars for the construction of the Large Hadron Collider and, naturally, the priests of science simply had no right not to find it for that kind of money.
This is how space and matter were “placed” by the priests of the “temple of science” within the framework of the “laws” invented by them.
