What snow is to Eskimos force is to physicists. As explained here by a physicist there are several Eskimo languages and these languages are all polysynthetic which means that

one can put several nouns with describing adjectives together into one word — which gives a new word. i.e. there is snow, there is frozen-snow, frozen-and-dirty-snow, frozen-and-dirty-snow-with-a-crust-that-breaks-if-one-steps-on-it, and then there is snow-on-my-outside-chair-waiting-for-springtime.

Therefore, Eskimo languages are exactly like physics languages. Just like there are several Eskimo languages, there are several types of physics. For the last 75 years physicists have been trying to unify these physics into one physic but to no avail.

If Eskimos can describe every species of snow by adding hyphens to the word snow, physicists can do it doubly better by infinitely speciating the word force without even bothering with the hyphen. The technical name of this process is hair splitting speciation of scholastic definitions.

Newton the Father of scholastic physics was also the inventor of polysynthesis. Newton defined force and polysynthesized it as inertial-force, inherent-force and gravitational-force  (hyphens added for clarity). He then further polysynthesized and obtained the inherent-gravitational-force. Recent studies show that when he wasn’t studying secret church history and not meddling into the mysteries of the occult and not composing anti-Hooke propaganda Newton was secretly studying Eskimo languages.

After Newton’s rise to Heaven Newton’s disciples the physicists kept polysynthesizing the word force until they obtained the ultimate species of force: the not-force-force of General Relativity.

When they finally corrupted force beyond recovery physicists started to corrupt potential. Force and potential are labels physicists attached to two permutations of Kepler’s rule. Therefore, polysynthesizing force and potential is a silly academic exercise perpetuated by Newton’s disciples to save Newton’s sacred authority by moving their careers forward.

Eventually hard working physicists exhausted infinity of potentials and decided to legalize a handful of branded potentials for daily use. From then on trying to brand a new potential has been defined as crackpottery better left to amateurs.

Long-time physics watchers will recognize that physicists have gone through the same process with another polysynthete: spacetime. After defining about 2000 spacetimes they finally decided enough was enough and started to define new vacuums.

Therefore, after about a decade of negotiations among themselves physicists will legalize some good vacuums by branding them with the names of dead white males and these select vacuums will be canonized as laws of nature. We are the fortunate citizens of the world who are lucky enough to be living during this historic moment in spacetime when physicists have been actively polysynthesizing the landscape and its vacuums in their polysynthetically anthropic glory. What an awesome special moment in the history of the multiverse!

From the foregoing it becomes scientifically clear that as usual Newton was right and there is an organic coupling between polysynthetic Eskimo languages and physics. The fact is that Eskimos lacked intellectual sophistication of doctors of physics to make big physical discoveries by churning out slick polemical sophistries that their language is potentially capable of.

Therefore, compared to physicists, Eskimos, who are innocent of scholastic cant, are the true scientists. After all snow exists. You can built an igloo with it to keep out the cold. Physicists’ force is an occult quantity and it does not exist. With force physicists can build only useless occult Newtonian theories to keep physics free of the corrupting influence of science.

Physicists must keep science out of physics because physicists practice ancestor worship. Eskimos do not practice ancestor worship, physicists do. Eskimos do not revere snow because it is a definition made by one of their ancestors but because snow is part of their daily life. Physicists’ force is nothing more than a manifestation of their ancestor worship. Physicists worship force because their Father Newton told them to do so.

Curiously enough this German blogger who is also a physicist should have noticed that Eskimo languages, German and physics have one important common trait: they are all polysynthetic. Take the word spacetime. It is natural for a German physicist to “put several nouns … together into one word.” Just like Eskimos. So, for a German physicist Raum-Zeit is a natural combination. Then why would a native speaker of one of the most polysynthetic languages condescend to Eskimo people because they have several words for snow?

She is a physicist believing in 98 words of force but finds in herself the right to ridicule Eskimo for inventing 98 words for snow. As a physicist, for her, force exists when she wants it and exists not when she doesn’t want it. No Eskimo is gifted with such intellectual sophistication. For Eskimo people snow means snow. For physicists all legal definitions of force in physics are legal, therefore, true. Eskimos, in fact the entire humanity, maybe with the exception of lawyers, have more scientific integrity than slick physicists.

Not only force but every concept in physics is multi-polysynthetic. When combined with physicists’ love for puns polysynthesysicism of physics becomes a deadly scholastic weapon against science in the hands of the editors of New Scientist and Daily Telegraph.
