Well, Roger, since you hijacked your own thread ...
So 20th century!
Speculation may not be "scientific", but neither is "this is the world" (as opposed to "this is the
world as scientists presently know it"). See the difference; it is apparently a point of great confusion on this thread (and
others). Bob's "logistics" is, as Rick Santorum said day before yesterday, bullshlt. It assumes logistics based on
current pre-speculation knowledge, but is inapplicable in the context of what may or may not happen in the future.
"Hypothesis, Theory and Law" are fine, great even, but they also have very limited application in discussing what may
be the case in the future.
That said, thank you for your stack and thank you, Richard for your post.
Be well all,
- Mick

Thanks for your great post, Richard. Just one clarification if I may.
Hypothesis, Theory and Law have different connotations in science. A good
explanation is found at:

And Einstein's Theory is just that, a theory. It's not yet a law, and
for good reason. Every few years we hear from another quantum physicist
suggesting that they may be on the edge of something that disproves it.
Wouldn't be the first time a new discovery completed shattered our
understanding of how things work.
