Roberts Roberts deductive theories are not just "necessarily
incomplete and approximate". 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.

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?
