You wouldn't be in a JRST .-1 loop.

.. you'd all be able to
correctly define the following terms: (physical) theory, (physical)
law, (physical) hypothesis, (physical) model, scientific method. So,
those of you that are so smug that you KNOW what the hell science is
really all about can define these terms for us here and now.

I can not remember one time in any class I've taken in science and
even in physics (I took the entire undergraduate core of physics
classes at a major university) in which any of these terms were
defined clearly, if they were defined at all! If your experience was
different, let us know what are those definitions you read. Please
give the references too.


I wouldn't define those terms in any of my books. Delete the words
(physical).
