I looked it up and it turns out your wrong about the EU Model being a mere hypothesis.
From:
en.wikipedia.org...
A theory, in the scientific sense of the word, is an analytic structure designed to explain a set of empirical observations. A scientific theory does
two things:
1. it identifies this set of distinct observations as a class of phenomena, and
2. makes assertions about the underlying reality that brings about or affects this class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EU does exactly this. There goes half your argument.
You say," Also, the analogy to Newton and Relativity and Quantum theory is flawed."
It is not. It is an example how people strongly believe one thing as a fact about science then later it is found that their 'facts' cannot hold true
all the time in every situation, therefore making the "fact" very subjective.
The reasoning that "Each has its own merits, and can stands alone within its own paradigm and field of study." is irreverent.
I do not believe in a Grand Unifying Field Theory of Everything.
You say, "Why is gravity so weak? Compared to, say....magnetism?"
I have pondered this. It makes no logical since to me. Let me ask you, Why is it if gravity compared to magnetism is so weak can it hold all the
planets in orbit? We know everything is made of energy at it's core and that energy is never destroyed it only changes form. If everything is made up
of energy, then why can't everything have it's own magnetic field thus acting on everything else's magnetic field?
Since magnetism is proven to be thousands of times stronger than gravity, wouldn't magnetism make more since? No one yet has ever been able to
explain what gravity actually is.. Could it be that the effect we call gravity is actually nothing more than an interaction of magnetism through the
energy all things are made of?
(BTW, this is My theory above, I am not saying I heard this in any EU video, but EU started me thinking about it.)
I don't like the EU model because it is simpler. I am not looking for dare I say it.. Occams Razor (that you scientific types are so fond of).
I like it because it can explain things your current model fail to explain. This is where all model theories start that have overshadowed the theories
of the past.
"I am a non scientist. That's Uneducated idiot to you scientific types"
