No, it isn't. That was a paraphrase from, "The Character of Physical
Law," by Richard P. Feynman, page 156, half-way down. Also from "The
Character of Physical Law," bottom, page 156, "It is scientific only to
say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all
the time the possible and impossible."

Therefore, it is more likely what Richard P. Feynman said about
scientific theories is right and what you said about scientific
theories is wrong.


Here's a clue: if even Feynman needed a whole book to cover the subject,
is there any possibility that your "paraphrase" from half-way down one
page might be incomplete, inaccurate or misleading?

The rubbish arises entirely from your habit of snipping bits from here
and there, and quoting them out of context. The history of this thread
shows that each time someone makes a considered reply, bringing back the
whole context, you snip it all out again.

Enough of that game.
