I have studied GR in some detail and have confidence in it. I agree science is always tentative so I respect your caution. The key is looking at the math and predictions which we don’t have time for but can wait until more data comes out. Again, I do appreciate your skepticism here.

I have zero confidence in it because I know it’s wrong. Why? Because, as Karl Popper wrote in “Conjectures and Refutations”, spacetime is “a block universe in which nothing happens.” GR also calls for a deterministic and continuous universe. This is not even wrong.

But I’ll leave it at that. Interminable arguments over GR get old really fast.
