Re: Is Photon = no mass because its a wave?? Electron is a wave with mass?

You don even know what that mud is, so how can you

better and predict the same effects.

Your posted ideas predict *nothing*. When pressed, you say that your
ideas *allow* those effects, and that those effects are *consistent*
with your ideas, and that your ideas *might* predict this or it might
predict that, depending. Of course, on what it depends and in which
way, you don't say.

You have no idea what a quantitative prediction is, TomGee. A *real*
theory allows you to *derive* a method for calculating the value of a
measurable quantity, in such a way that the theory predicts it will
have a certain value and no other value. A real theory does *not* say,
"Well, if the observed value is 2.5, that's compatible with the theory,
and if the observed value is 16.8, then that's compatible with the
theory, too, and if the observed value is 0.0028, when then by golly,
my theory allows that, too."

Your ideas have not allowed you to *derive* a single formula for
calculating a single observable quantity of any kind.

You have no idea what a real physical theory is. This doesn't matter in
the least to you, because you will also say, "Is not! Is not! A
physical theory is what *I* say it is, not what *you* say it is. I will
play by *my* rules for as long as *I* want to, and you can't stop me!"
Which is of course true. However, if you want anybody to care, then
you're in for a rude shock.

I recall a boy in middle school who wanted to play basketball with the
other boys. But he did not like the rule about having to dribble, and
he did not like the rule about not grabbing the arm of the one with the
ball. He desperately wanted to play basketball, but only if everyone
played with the rules *he* wanted. And when the others either kicked
him out of the game or left him on the court to play basketball all by
himself, he screamed at the others that they weren't playing fair.
Needless to say, he was not thought of very highly.

Your choice, TomGee. Go away or play by yourself or stay here and be
taunted.
