"What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning" - Werner Heisenberg
Such method of questioning is efficient for the development of technology, but it's not efficient for the discovery of the true fundamental laws of Nature.
Some fundamental laws of Quantum Mechanics are wrong. But those fundamental wrong laws do not prevent the development of technology (in the level developed till now)
However, as some foundations of QM are wrongs, in a most deep level QM will fail even for the development of technology. Cold fusion is an example.
And the LHC experiments will show it to us either, in the upcoming years.
From dictionary.com:Fundamental: serving as, or being an essential part of, a foundation or basis; basic; underlying: fundamental principles; the fundamental structure.
Sorry but you are wrong. If there is a fundamental problem with the theory we could not develop any technology from it. What you are saying might, for instance, be applicable to some mathematics in string theory. There are competing approaches to the theory and assuming it pans out in the end, although some of the math may be elegantly self-consistent. Yet if a certain mathematical approach doesn't describe actual physical properties of the universe when it comes time to test it, there will be no technology developed from that attempt to describe string theory. A fundamental flaw = a theory that will not work.
One other thing: If you have found a problem with nuclear theory, which you wish to discuss with a nuclear scientist, where are your equations? Honestly, if a person can't do the math how can they understand it, much less recognize a problem? Do you realize that all verbal explanations can only be approximations for most of this stuff? From your very first thread if you have equations you should have laid them out. If you don't have that, how can you show the problem? Much less recognize a problem in the first place, without the math? You yourself seem to be making the common layman's mistake of taking verbal approximations of the theory and thinking that you can find or resolve a problem without the math. It's like describing a problem with a the editing of a story in Japanese if you don't speak the language yourself. How would you know if it was done well or poorly?
Even if you had a valid point, which seems doubtful as the theory has worked fine in numerous ways without your input for the last century, unless you can demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the mathematics you would never be able to resolve the problem. All these words you've used are worthless compared to a few equations. And no, 2+2=4 does not count as the math that I'm talking about.
