Physics is like this elephant and its observers.
It has distinct regions or parts, each of which
is not the same as the unified whole.

The unification of the whole of physics will not
come about except by way of (ie: based upon)
its set of admissable postulates.

Thus my insistence upon the reconsideration
of the aether hypothesis. That's all.

The hypothesis was falsified by experiment. Try insisting on something
that works.

Your insistence is similar to insisting that the kitchen
light isn't working because the bulb is burnt out when,
in reality, the power grid is down. You can keep insisting
that your analysis is correct and keep changing light bulbs,
but your kitchen won't be lit until the grid powers back up.
