On top of that, quantum mechanics, Einstein's theories of relativity, Maxwell's equations, Newton's law of gravity, although Einstein "disproved" this, they both make the same mistake, and more.
And before people false dichitomize me into the religious camp, the best and easiest example I will always give of what's wrong with these theories is to take the holy trinity, argue what fallacy is taking place when one introduces a three-but-really-one monotheist deity as truth and then expand on that fallacy to take down the photon's two-but-really-one wave-particle duality.

That's a very deep, generous and insightful post. Thanks. 👍
The state: better manufacture endless crises then!
That because the human species has done so much, it must be good.
