There is the story about seven blind men trying to

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.


This is a common misconception. Absence
of evidence is not equivalent to evidence
of absence.

Both Dirac (1951) and Einstein (1920) understood
that the aether hypothesis was not falsified
by experiment.
