I could refute many if not all of the statements you just made but it is this statement I would like you to elaborate more on.
Why do you think it would benefit me more to think about other questions?So I think it would benefit you to turn your attention to other questions
I think that the status quo should be challenged not just for the sake of being difficult but for the sake of truth and advancement.
Now lets take a different tack on this whole thing. I can continue to poke holes in quantum mechanics and you can continue to espouse its virtues. I really started this discussion not to get my view out there but to hear reasons why people believe in QM and defend it with such intensity. I do know that someday if my model is proven by experiment I will have to go up against QM. It looks like I will be going it alone. That's a battle for another day.
Let us suppose for a minute that I have a way of breaking the light speed barrier and this is something that QM does not predict can happen. If I were then able to propose an experiment to prove my idea and that experiment then confirmed my theory, would you be willing to break away from the status quo. This is a theory that does not use or require quantum mechanics in anyway. It uses only an extension of a classical theory. Would you be willing to consider based on that evidence that perhaps QM is incomplete as Einstein believed? Lets take it a step further let us also suppose that using the same theory I could give the mechanical details that would explain both gravity and inertia and this could be done by using the same theory. Would you consider that maybe QM is not the right path?
