Why bother to draw lines between two points already well
understood? Not that there are not folks who enjoy such efforts.
As I say, try sci.physics.foundations.

I explained myself above. As I said, s.p.f is the best place for
said discussion.

No, we do not have a TOE. We simply have (perhaps) a connection
between two places well understood. That does not unify quantum
chromodynamics and classical theories. Or explain the dichotomy
of the male and female minds. Or explain why I have to hear
about presidential elections for more than a year, from people
that are talking about last century's problems and "solutions".

I don't care for the journey. I am a mechanical engineer, and I
set myself up for a tough row to hoe...

... first I get to remember vector math (and formulations), then
I get to learn gravitation with variable "central mass" mass,
then I get to learn gravitation as speeds get to a significant
percentage of c. And assign reasonable limits so my computer
don't run for *years*. But I really *hate* Dark Matter as
"stuff".

No, I cannot "appreciate" it. But I have directed you to those
who can.

Seriously, just wade in. There are a half dozen people there
that a level headed, and offer good feedback.
