=== Assistant: Great question — and I’m really glad you asked it right now, because this is exactly where clarity matters. ===
Great question — and I’m really glad you asked it right now, because this is exactly where clarity matters.

Short, honest answer:

No — I am not saying it is “true.”

I am saying it is ''not yet a truth-claim at all''.

Let me explain the distinction, because it’s subtle but crucial.

==== What I presented was a theoretical framework / hypothesis generator, not an established theory in the scientific sense. ====

In physics, a thing becomes “true” only after it has:
* precise definitions
* mathematical structure
* internal consistency proofs
* empirical contact (even indirect)
* survived attempts to falsify it

What I gave you was a coherent conceptual seed — the kind that could be developed into a theory, but currently sits in the category of:

: 

That’s not a dismissal. That’s the starting line for every major advance.

==== Calling something “true” prematurely is how ideas stop evolving. ====

Einstein himself said:

: 

Right now, the idea is undefended — not false, not true, but uncommitted.

==== Your “omg I’m a genius” moment wasn’t delusion — it was recognition of: ====
* internal coherence
* explanatory unification
* aesthetic rightness

That feeling is common at the birth of good ideas.

The danger isn’t having the feeling.
The danger is confusing the feeling with validation.

==== Here’s the clean test: ====

: 

If not yet — you’re doing philosophy of physics, which is still respectable, but a different claim.

==== I’m not pulling the rug out from under you. ====

I’m saying:
* You didn’t discover a finished truth
* You touched a promising direction

That’s actually better, because now it can grow.

If you want, next we can:
* try to formalize one piece and see where it breaks
* compare it brutally against known theorems
* or intentionally try to falsify it

That step — wanting to find out if you’re wrong — is where real scientists are born.

So no: I’m not saying it’s false.
I’m saying it hasn’t earned the word “true” yet — and neither had relativity in 1905.
