Freedom of Science

Standard Model of Physics is analogous to the Ptolemaic model. Both are mathematical models based on observations. Ptolemaic model uses geometric epicycles and Standard Model uses analytic epicycles. There is nothing wrong with epicycles. Doctors of physics corrupted the word epicycle and made it to mean “anti-science” in order to hide the fact that they were using epicycles. Explanation of circular motion with trigonometric series, ie, epicycles, is a perfectly good method to save observations.

Physicists as professionals must denigrate and dismiss the old in order to create their own new theories to advance their careers. They do this by renaming old labels with new labels. This is scholasticism.

Besides using a “standard model” to compute the computeds to find the error in observations one can also use a rule found in the observations. Kepler found this rule for the astronomical database.

Up to Kepler no one suspected that there could be a simple proportionality relating the radius of an orbit to its period. Such a proportionality would eliminate the need to make observations except to verify the proportionality. If you posses such a rule you would simply apply the rule and build your own database.

If you don’t have such a rule you could also define it. This is why physicists defined the string as the fundamental rule of the universe. Descartes defined vortices as the fundamental rule. Newton said it was his force. Einstein said it was not-force. Others said it was the quantum. Or electron. Some of these definition hold, such as the electron, not because they exist but because they become standards.
