Because currently 95% of the energy in the universe is missing. I am going with the odds.
Actually I have supplied plenty of testable theories on my blog, like that weakly ionizing plasma channel within a waterspout, many of which appear to defy gravity, is actually a string of vacuum with tension. They are not just whirling wind, that is so god damn stupid we ought to fire every geophysicist and weatherman that says so. Air cannot do that by itself. http://epsppd.epfl.ch/London/pdf/P4_062.pdf http://www.rightthisminute.com/video/ultra-thin-waterspout-spotted-georgia-coastline I have designed lots of heat exchangers and vacuum condensers and been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so in industry and I know a vacuum when I see one, at least within a gas. I can't see in cracks and lattices so I can't say what that is. That is like separating gnat shit from pepper. I think nature and the Earth get their energy primarily from a weakly ionizing, decaying vacuum field, energized from the fun. Which is also why we should not be pumping megawatts of microwave EMF into it 24/7 else you end up with this: http://darkmattersalot.com/2014/01/31/the-killing-fields/ Or take a look at this "ice halo" and "sun dog" which show up before during and after low pressure weather events. Take a look at that horizontal ring closely and you will see condensing and lensing. Geophysicists can't dream up enough hexagonal ice crystals magically aligning themselves to create that thing. In my research that is one bad ass decaying, lensing, closed string of quantum vacuum. http://darkmattersalot.com/2014/01/23/the-meek-shall-inherit-the-earth/ You can even hear it pulling a vacuum on the atmosphere. Enough ranting. I agree with you otherwise and have tremendous respect for the work you have done.
