Modern physics based on relativity theory and quantum mechanics has followed the pattern set by Einstein to continue to raise the bet without showing the cards, as in a no-limit-poker game with lousy cards, eventually forcing the other players to fold:
- When Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity SR (1905) was questioned, Einstein raised the bet to the General Theory of Relativity GR (1916).
- When GR was questioned, Einstein raised the bet from scales of classical physics, to scales of the Universe including black holes which nobody dared to call.
This showed to work fine and so the same strategy was adopted by leading physicists as concerns quantum mechanics:
- When the physical meaning of Schrödinger's Equation SE (1926) for atoms of size $10^{-10}$ m as the first version of quantum mechanics without relativity theory, was questioned and no answers could be given, it was replaced by Dirac's Equation DE (1930) including SR describing an electron.
- When DE for the electron was questioned, the Standard Model SM (1960s) was developed as a theory of atomic nuclei of size $10^{-15}$ m built from the fundamental particles of protons and neutrons made up of quarks interacting by force carriers named gluons.
- When SM was questioned as an ad hoc model of a nucleus, String Theory ST (1980s...) was developed as an ultimate fundamental theory on a scale ($10^{-32}$ m ) which could not be called.
ST/GR ars now being questioned, but the bet cannot be raised another time since the ultimate large and small scales have been reached. It is now time for physicists to call and to help there is a new card to play in the form of RealQM. Anyone with this card can make a call on ST/GR.
Haven't black holes been observed?
