Bruce,

I know how you must feel.

Maybe I should've put a health-warning on that message, for
anyone who's been taught formal physics in last half-century.
Why? - Because I say, along with Lee Smolin, that "there is at
least one good reason not to believe the physics that is taught
in most courses... It's not true."

Present day physics is in a mess. Like you said "we don't really
have a clue as to what is _really_ going on".

In the last twenty years or so all the confident ideas of
"Standard Models" (including your electromagnetic cause of
matter), of "Gas Laws", of "Black Hole Theory" (actually
Singularity Theories), of "Quantum Theory" and "Relativity
Theories", have _all_ been discovered to be "flawed" or
"incomplete" (see "Blind Science").

That is, they're _not_ true.

And the top physicists know the rules aren't true - but they
aren't encouraged to say so, outside of a very small circle of
"experts".

Why are those rules still being taught in most colleges?
Mainstream science hasn't anything to put in their place, and
our "leaders" think there'll be a panic if everyone finds out.

I'll say again - mainstream science _doesn't_ know reason or
cause of  a) matter, b) mass, c) inertia (and lots of other
things but those three are basic and interdependent).

Which of course means they haven't a clue where the _extra_
inertia of a spinning coin or a "top" or even a bike comes from
(because they don't know where `ordinary' inertia comes from -
 but it's got to be the _same_ source).

And mainstream science similarly can't say how "entanglement
info" is transmitted at far FTL speed, thru all obstacles,
apparently linking particles instantaneously throughout the
universe.

Here's two summations - "Physics is in all sorts of trouble" -
 Hilary Lawson - (21st Cent.) and "What the scientists say now
is likely to be false" - Nigel Calder - NOW, quoted in Blind
Science.

Spin that coin!
