Evidently Tom doesn't know the difference between science and |
physics.
Science seeks to understand the physical world. Physics only tries
to measure various aspects of it, even though it doesn't understand
what it is measuring.
Perhaps that's why Mr. Roberts (a physicist rather than a scientist)
doesn't know the difference between an experiment that tests the
validity of an equation compared to one that tests the validity of a
theory; especially when (unknown by him) the equations deny the
validity of that theory.

Roberts is as crazy as Hammond.
Where Hammond believes in his god (a figment of the imagination passed on
from generation to generation) Roberts believes in black holes (a figment of
the imagination passed on from generation to generation). There is no
actual evidence for either, but each will manufacture the facts needed to
fit their respective theories.
Science is the observation, investigation and explanation of natural
phenomena,
in that order. Black holes, dragons, aether and gods are explanations
without
observations. Only a fool goes looking for them.
