Doing some calculations for theories that don't describe the real world is easy. So, if they can get away with it, that's what they'll do. Better still, since most people on the planet don't understand the calculations, they won't dare criticize you. And that's why this insanity lives on. And if you start calling out how insane this is, that's when you become a former physicist.“
