@UnbornTao brah you have adopted Ralston's phrasing and mannerisms in your text 

You sound like a remix of his YouTube clips, Brandan & UnbornTao. A new being is born !

I think and feel it is important to contemplate the duality between religion and spirituality.  This is so key IMO!

If you come up with a better theory for gravitation with all the proof, people especially in the science community will regard you highly.

Only if it is socially acceptable.

"With all the proof" is a very loaded notion. The point is my proof will not be socially acceptable and therefore denied.

I gave a better explanation of Reality than all of physics. Does science regard me highly? No. And it never will, regardless of what proof is presented. Because it was never about the proof.

That is what happened with Einstein.

Einstein's theory was relatively socially acceptable because it did not seriously subvert the scientfic, academic paradigm. He worked inside the system and the system was not significantly threatened.

The only reason you even know about Einstein is social acceptability. You have not verified anything Einstein said. Einstein won the social acceptance game, so now we talk about him with high regard.

Einstein's view of gravity could be deeply wrong, and you will never know it, because you just trust what society feels about it.
