Look how many non-observable things the physics of the 20th century

So, in your theory of the weak interaction, the decay of the

ghost fields,

Here, you are being more than merely hypocritical. Ghosts occur
as an artifact of gauge fixing in a gauge invariant theory as part
of an intermediate step. The significance of the ghost field is
only as physical as choosing a particular gauge, which is to say,
none. On the other hand, you attach great importance to the choice
of gauge, as you think the coulomb gauge is not merely a gauge, but
an exact physical description. You attribute all sort of physical
effects to the artifacts associated with a choice of gauge. So,
basically, you have it backwards. You just neglected to mention
who is attributing physical effects to mathematical artifacts - you
are.

"physical" vacuum,

So, you think there is no state which can't be lowered with
an anihilation operator, or what?

quarks, gluons...

Does this mean you think that rutherford scattering can't be used to
determine anything about the objects being scattered?

I am even not talking about strings.

You aren't talking about much of anything, but your self-inconsistent
philosophical beliefs.

I don't think that theoretical beuty is equivalent to having a small
number of short equations (this seems to be the prevailing view).
It is more important, in my opinion,
to avoid logical contradictions and to have directly observable
counterparts to all ingredients of the theory.

I guess the angular distributions obtained from high energy
scattering experiments, baryon and meson spectroscopy don't count,
since that would force you to accept nucleonic structure and
of course, everyone knows that the periodic table and rutherford
scattering are phenomena unique to chemistry and can't be used
for anything beyond 19th century physics...

We love you too, Bilge ... EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE ALLYING YOURSELF WITH ALL THE VIRTUAL RAPISTS AND TORTURERS IN THIS GALAXY.
