If an axiom is false, then the theory is absolutely wrong. If you don't believe me, you should believe Divine Albert: Albert Einstein: "If the speed of light is the least bit affected by the speed of the light source, then my whole theory of relativity and theory of gravity is false." So Roberts Roberts the fact that all your brothers in Einstein criminal cult now discuss "small Lorentz violations" just shows that those brothers of yours are extremely dishonest. > > Thus the physical world Β can never be branded as illogical. > > You have obviously never studied quantum mechanics, nor performed any of > the basic experiments that support it. > > >> "causality" is not "fundamental" to any > >> modern physical theory. <shrug> > > > No, you are wrong. > > Causality may not be fundamental to those of the 'modern physical > > theories' which are either incomplete or where mathematical models > > have been wrongly elevated to the status of physical theories. > > > Kindly justify your assertion through some specific example. > > All modern physical theories consist of sets of differential equations > and definitions and interpretations of what the symbols in them mean. Roberts Roberts at least thermodynamics and relativity essentially consist of axioms and conclusions deduced from them. You should just verify the truth of all axioms and the validity of all inferences. And there is an important problem Roberts Roberts that scientists will have ro solve some day: If an axiom proves false in the end (example: "Heat is conserved and cannot be converted into work in the heat engine" is an important axiom in the Carnot theorem), can the respective conclusion remain true?
