No theory can ever be proven. All that one can do is submit it to scrutiny and see if it breaks down. If it doesn't, it's worth hanging onto. If it does, you revise or replace it with something better.
Consider The Atomic Theory of Matter. I'm not saying that it is wrong - just that it is incomplete, an approximation. (This isn't heretical to suggest, by the way, since all models are by their very nature approximations.
Atomic theory originated in ancient Greece/India. It forms the backbone of our physical sciences. It has without doubt led humans to manipulate the external world in all sorts of useful ways - employing Physics and Chemistry - but it hasn't helped us much to understand our nature at a deeper level. It hasn't done much to explain our essense as we experience it. Atomic theory suggests nothing about the meaning of life, for instance.
So I'd like to conjure up what I'll refer to as the Sliver Model. It is to sit alongside the Atomic Model - to complement it, not replace it. It has the potential to have a far-reaching influence. Not on Science, necessarily, but on society. In a metaphysical sense. I invite the reader to try it on for size. To test if it fits.
Thereafter, I'll then consider my model's implications. It is bound to have many.
Finally, hopefully, I’ll meld those implications into a coherent, consistent, and all-encompassing world view.
My aim here is to realize the world from my own point of view. I'll blog about it to refine my ideas (and hang onto them lest one day my thinking grows dim).
