Re: our philosophy ?

What do you mean by "experimental arguments"? Experiments tell us WHAT
happens; they never explain WHY. The question asked begins with "why".

Reasonning is an intellectual activity; we must promote it above all.
Motivation for an experiment is usually based on reasonning. And we use
reasinning to interpret what we see. Bla, bla, bla, etc.; you know it.

You want to play a philosopher? Then answer this question. What is an
acceptable explanation in physics? (Not in geometry, not in a court of
law, not in theology, not in arts, etc. but in physics.)
