I think either you or your friend has misunderstood. There are a number of physics theories where we are rapidly approaching the point that there are no PRACTICAL tests we can apply, not that there are no hypothetical tests imaginable. Physicists are aware of, and disturbed by, the problem with this situation, and they like it no better than you do. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
