Again: I do not quite get your point. Perhaps you believe
that I have some grievance against quantum theory, whereas
I have in a number of posts stated that it's the greatest tool
in modern physics. Let me nevertheless restate myself for your
benefit: QED is highly concrete, not highly abstract (unless you
mean academic), as you yourself state in your last sentence above!

Also: Statistical analysis is essential where it is the only means of
approximating absolute knowledge. Quantum theory can produce highly
accurate insights (without having to "see" into the matter at all).
QED and The Standard Model are impeccably tested/proven facts. My
contention is that gravity is NOT a particle-mediated force, and
as such... this explains the inability/impossibility of ever EVER
making (QM) EM and general relativity agree (that there can ever be
such a thing as the mythical unified field theory). This obviously
does not mean that I question any aspect of The Standard Model...
since I explain the origin of the universe from (or, at the origin of
the universe, it being), from a single/singular principle (of
thermodynamics) obviously where there does not yet exist the vast
complexity of The Standard Model).

   Imagine "the void" as a gauzy tablecloth which you begin to pull
   from one edge of the table it's draped over--you have started a
   thermodynamic current... and it will cause the gauzy cloth to tear.
   Well, that tear (a place in which there is now no/little cloth) is
   the "cosmic hollow" (of lesser density) into which the surrounding
   "greater density" pours, creating our universe. Simple as that.
   The rest of my text merely shows what follow logically from this
   principle, and how all of that is better at explaining the universe
   we observe than nonsense such as "dark matter" & "dark energy."
   If one does not depart from this model of an universe in implosion
   one cannot then explain its inevitable consequences (such as
   the constancy of the speed of light or even such a basic effect
   as inertia, et al).

I have just as often said that Einstein's relativity theories with
respect to the effects of gravity are not wrong--that I am merely
explaining why the universe behaves as it is observed behaving (not
that it behaves differently somehow). [Why it is that Einstein's
"grids" work better than Newton's "forces."] I even tell you why
it is that the early 20th Century theorists inevitably got it wrong.

I do have a pet peeve with a lot of nonsense in pure mathematics
(such as string theory), and with misunderstandings of quantum
theory which have lead some theorists to speculate that magic is
possible in the world... and they begin to put the laws of physics
in doubt (arrogantly believing as they do that just because THEY
cannot follow the connection between every effect and its cause...
there are uncaused effects). [That the origin of their Big Bang is
that at some point the so-called point of infinite density was
"contemplating" its possibilities, and since at that point ALL
possibilities were available to it, there was therefore nothing to
prevent it from creating the universe (obviously that as one
possibility)... and other insanities, such as time-travel as if "the
past" and "the future" had some separate existence from "our
existence" (when Abe Lincoln is still sleeping over in Illinois).
Sorry: At the point where there is a disconnect between the trick
and how the trick is pulled off .... there you have the magician
telling us that there is magic in the world, and you will never get
me to believe that. Better the would-be magician confess he does
not know, and at that point he will regain a pinch of respect from me.

The scientist is forever in a quest to understand, and once he
understands... either he explains what he understands, or he is
no better than the would-be magician in anybody's opinion.
[Hope this helps.] Is this really so difficult to grasp?
