So you are finally admitting that experimental results mean nothing to you.

Of course it did, it models correctly the behaviour of elementary particles AND it
also explains the electric bills amounts for those accelerators.
If you think you know something that the big business and bank consortia that sponsor
those accelerators do not know, then by all means let them know. They'll be very happy to
do something to lower the electric bills.

No, it's just that you happen to understand (somewhat) this part of physics but you
cannot understand the later developments (forced on us by experimental results which
cannot be ignored, obviously, in the real world). So you feel like the new developments have
severed your contact with science and you resent that.
But you chose the wrong method to deal with this: instead of rolling up your sleeves and
doing the honest learning work, you simply decided to double down and defend plain nonsense
come hell or high water. IOW, you decided to retreat to a little private fantasyland.
This approach leads nowhere. It's a dead end for you.

Yes, but his equations cannot predict why the black body radiates the way it does:
Maxwell's equations predict, instead, that every object in the universe spontaneously
radiates infinite amounts of energy. They also predict that in some cases particles
start to spontaneously arbitrarily accelerate. The former is known as "the ultraviolet
catastrophe", the latter as "the runaway solutions".
The biggest problem with Maxwell's equations was that they are not observer-independent,
unlike Newtonian mechanics. This was huge because at the time all mechanical
interactions were considered to be macroscopic results of electromagnetic
interactions. This problem was not satisfactorily solved until Einstein's 1905 paper.

Yeah, nice but irrelevant.

It contributed a model for elementary particles interactions. That's a huge deal.
You probably don't even know how Maxwell's equations are an expression of
local gauge invariance.
> Only created chaos and confusion on weak minds.
No, in your mind. Excpet that normal people with no nack for physics simply
stay away and engage in something they know they are good at instead.
But monomaniacs just persist in doing something they cannot do. And of course
they blame everyone on the planet for their plight, including inventing the most
dinosaurian conspiracy theories to explain their total failure. The classic
well-known case of this is graphomania.

Relativity is an excellent physics theory. And there is nothing you can do about it.
The theory will never go away, just like Newton's or Maxwell's theories will never
go away.

Because you don't know anything about quantum theory. What you said above
is exactly like saying "I don't see any contribution of Banach spaces to mathematics".
> Ohm did more for science advancement that your imbecile deity.
No, false. Also, note that you literally cannot stop from using invective whenever
relativity or the person of Albert Einstein comes up. You are truly emotionally
disturbed. It's hard to tell if your physics-monomania is the cause or the effect
but it's very obvious in your posts.
I would see a doctor, it may be a result of something physical.

Stop imagining things about your opponents. It's childish. Nobody is
licking any "wounds", especially because of your idiotic posts.

No, this is an experimental observation. You can reject it until cows come home.
Nothing and nobody will ever yield to your frustrated wishes. The only way for you
to proceed is to learn physics (if you want to get anywhere with it). That's how everyone
who understands it did it: by working honestly on it full-time for yeras/deacdes.
There is no other way. Your wishes and your ignoring observed results mean nothing.
