what you get here are the cumulation of every dumbed down documentary from the last 2 decades, despite changes in theory, and a mix of basic degree level physics thrown in.
And even then you're assuming there is 1 answer.
In most of science if it's true or not doesn't really make much difference so long as it makes the right prediction.
If a method you know to be false still predicts the correct answer (to the accuracy you need) and is easier then you use that, doesn't matter if it actually happens slightly or totally differently.
Even then there are lots of different theories and proofs, the odds of someone being able to chose the right one based on layman's terms explanations is virtually nill because the "correct" way often seems the most twisted and illogical way when described in laymens terms.
Yeah you make a good point, as long as something is useful to science its good enough but i personally would like to know the true state of things as thats more important to my mind than a theory or equation the produces the 'correct' result, what's good for science isn't necessarily good for the individual and answers the deeper questions that would fulfil the human desire to know the truth!
To throw another one out there, they say mavity curves space but space is supposedly nothing, yes it may contain stuff but space is the area within which things can exist, now sure maybe it does curve somehow, im not denying that but whos to say its space thats curving and not just a force pulling on matter and energy that gives the appearance of curving, similar to how electrons are effected when they pass by a magnetic field?
