... Godmameat.
That is pretty funny Alfred. In case you missed it, my username and avatar are a satirical and slightly ironic jab at people who hold onto their beliefs in spite of their reason. Something that I make every effort not to do. So, no Godmameat for me. I am looking for the bacon double cheeseburger of truth, even if the cheese is blue.
My challenge is that I realize that my long held perception of the universe is not sufficiently informed and that the remedy for that comes in a language that I do not speak. C'est la vie. So now, either I learn enough of the language to get the gist of it or I carry on in ignorance.
What you are doing is to demand that the new language matches the old one. Dogmatic by definition. I can sympathize because it is what I am doing with my questions. The difference is that I recognize the fact.
What they deal with is only the macro-scale shadow effects.
I think that I have remarked to you previously that seeing a shadow and concluding that something is blocking the light is not the same thing as 'seeing' a ghost. Funny that you should mention it though because I was just looking at a picture of the shadow of an atom.
Bottom line is: iron necessity reigns throughout on any scale.
Why? Why not just another spectrum like everything else in the universe?
