While I understand the point you're making, there are objective and discernable rules that govern reality. Accepting people who are insane as being sane accomplishes nothing.

I'm not too sure who or what I would determine to be insane. The very idea of reality is subjective. Objectives and measurements created inside someone elses reality. I am really not an either or kind of person. I am simply very aware when others seem to fail to see that the owner of the opposing view is a person too. 😁
Reality isn't subjective. If that were true, then the rules governing it could be different for everyone. Unless you're suggesting that someone can will gravity out of existence, there are objective rules that the reality we perceive follows. Rejecting those rules, or pretending that they don't exist, would necessarily make someone insane, insofar as they reject reality.
It's one thing to reject a particular attitude or outlook. It's another thing entirely to reject real, observable facts.
I understand. I can see where you are coming from. I like to ask the questions like this...I have never tested gravity, nor have i personally seen a satellite...I have taken the word of someone that they are both real. It is all "real" based on research I have had no part of. I could read what they say, but dies that mean its real? Does that make sense?
"I have never tested gravity, nor have i personally seen a satellite"
Physical reality doesn't care about your opinion nor whether you've personally tested it or not.
"I have never tested gravity"
You test it every moment of your existence. Quit playing stupid.
"nor have i personally seen a satellite"
Willful ignorance and lazyness is not evidence for a 'maybe it's not real' argument.
Whoa....nice. Guys, i was just playing the other side of the idea. "Quit playing stupid" further proves my observation....anyone that doesnt agree with mainstream sciences gets accused of being ignorant. Thank you.
".anyone that doesnt agree with mainstream sciences gets accused of being ignorant. "
Except it's not that you don't agree. It's that you're claiming to have no clue about whether it's right or not because you personally have never tested it.
I told you to stop playing stupid because you're playing stupid. "gee, I just don't know because i've never tested it".
Then test it. Go look for a satelite. As I said, willful ignorance and lazyness is not evidence for a 'maybe it's not real' argument.
That is rather harsh of you to call someone stupid simply because they don't align with your view. Personally I don't believe in gravity. I believe there is an effect which we do feel yes. However, even scientists are baffled as to why out of all the forces. Gravity is so weak.
Another model, called The Electric Universe does more to answer this than what science does. I'm not aligned completely with that hypothesis either but Science itself is always changing. If there is new found evidence that Gravity is not what you were lead to believe. It would be you in the seat of 'stupid' for judging others so narrowly simply because they weren't as convinced as you are.
Uhhhh, no.
A. The electric universe theory does not discount or deny gravity. It suggests that electromagnestism is the cause of gravity.
So bringing up TEU as a reason to discount gravity is.....-you know what goes here-.
B. Experiments have proven that electromagnetism does not cause gravity, yet the proponents of the theory remain convinced.
So no, TEU theory doesn't 'do more to answer this than what science does'.
C. TEU theory still believes in the 'aether'. Mmm hmmm.
D. The points TEU uses to 'discredit' gravity are 100% applicable to TEU.
"....gravity is so weak."
Gravity is not weak. It will slam you into the ground 100% of the time.
You can test gravity very easily, come on... You CAN also see satellites and/or the ISS (International space station) on most clear nights almost anywhere in the world with your own eyes. They have an APP ISS detector you can download that will alert you when the ISS will be passing over your location. You can easily see it if you are looking for it when/where the app tells you to. How much more "real" do you need?
Exactly. The world is full of mystery. A physical world we can see could be very different beyond our dimensions. A 3rd dimension object can see a 2 dimension object. Can a 2 dimensional object see a 3 dimensional object? Well possibly only slices. Now can we, as a 3 dimensional species see 4th 5th or 6th dimensions. We probably only perceive slices of our true existence. We could be totally fooled by everything we see and think we know 😁
