As I've said before, the theoretical "downward pulling puller particles" are just theory (they fit into an existing model), therefore are irrelevant to your own observations. The existence of gravity is not dependent on gravitons, just the same as the the UA is not dependent on the existence of Dark Energy (as far as you are concerned, UA just happens).
To include gravitons in your argument is incorrect. You have reached a premature conclusion based on ignorance and lack of rigor, not positive evidence.
Gravitons/bendy space are not irrelevant to my argument.
When I step off a chair I can observe the earth rise upwards. I can see the ground move upwards and run into me. The ground is rising upwards and pushing itself into me. That's +1 point for the concept of an upwardly accelerating earth.
But what about the concept of something pulling me down? What observational or empirical evidence does that have? I have not observed anything in the slightest which points to this "pulling" idea. I've seen nothing pulling me. No evidence of gravitons. No evidence of bendy space. No evidence of puller fairies.
While an upwardly moving earth is evidenced by observation, nothing about the concept of a "pull" is evidenced by anything. Not even in labs with the most sensitive of equipment have gravitons, bendy space, or other puller fantasies been detected. There is no reason to believe in fantasy.
I can see that the earth moves upwards. What keeps us pinned to the earth is direct and visible. A direct observation beats out speculation any day of the week.
Tom, I don't do well with neglect. It makes me emotional...
Tom, what is your take on magnetism? Do you see the puller particles? Does the first magnet get pushed up to the second or does the second get pulled to the first?
I do not believe in the given explanation for magnetism. The conventional idea is that there are these little "magnetic photon" messenger particles which tell bodies to move through space in this way or that. No one has seen these "magnetic photons." No one has detected these "magnetic photons," not in any machine or lab. It is complete and utter fantasy and speculation. Yet many are willing to plug their ears to the necessity of evidence and believe the media hype.
As a Zetetics we must look at two magnets coming together and say that the motion is visible to us, but we make no speculation on the mechanism behind it.
We are skeptics. We are empericists. This is the correct way to conduct science. It is not right to pile one speculative hypothesis upon the next in rapid and mumbling succession. That is no way to find the truth.
