I believe Chapter I is a fair assessment of current scientific thinking.  (If I 
honestly believe something but am not certain of, I believe use of the phrase 
“I believe “ is appropriate.) Many scientist are skeptical of many features of 
the standard model and relativity, including one of your heroes, Richard 
Feynman. 

 

You have given an overly negative picture. You haven't attempted to explain 
what the achievements of science were in the 20th dentury, but have dismissed 
most of them as "hard to understand" as though this is a bad thing (as I 
pointed out in an earlier post, the chances are against the parts of the 
universe we didn't evolve to cope with being easy for us to understand). The 
fact that scientists are sceptical of various features of a theory does not 
invalidate the entire thing (anti-evolutionists often point to minor quibbles 
about the details of the theory as though they undermined the whole thing...) 
Einstein was famously sceptical of the claims of quantum physics, but he 
explained why in detail, in for example the famous EPR paper. (He didn't just 
say "That Neils Bohr, he just doesn't understand quantum theory" or something 
similar.)

 

 Chapter II is just a summary of my thinking.  Details will come.

 

I don't want details so much as the reasoning behind this model. 

 

Thanks for giving it your attention.  I really appreciate it.

 

I would appreciate the same attention being given to all the points I and 
others have raised.
