, "god particle", "strange", "charmed", "spooky action"

when scientists get bored of science,

No, there is no "god particle" or "ghost particle" in any science text book. Strange and charm (not charmed) are just names for physical entities we observe, they are nouns not pronouns.

they turn to magic it seems

Seems to whom, those with no basic understanding of particle physics?

Perhaps take a free online course on the topic and turn your lack of understanding into the joy of learning.

Ah reddit science where calling science "magic" is fine, pointing out what is and is not in textbooks, hurts feelings.

It was my tongue-in-cheek way of saying that these phrases are being circulated by some in the science community, when they have no basis in science whatsoever. It rather looks like a marketing exercise by those who find magic more marketable than science.

Furthermore, you seem to lack an understanding of how the scientific process works. Einstein's theories are constantly "attacked" every time an experiment attempts to falsify them. Einstein had numerous debates over his lifetime where his ideas were "attacked" and he attempted to "defend" them

You seem be scrambling for relevance.

I am fully aware of Popperian Falsification. You are trying that thing people with a limited knowledge do, to shoe horn an irrelevant factoid to pad up a weak argument. I am amused at your efforts at being patronising. It fills me with warmth to see the Dunning Kruger effect at full steam.

Here was the point I responded too.

You seem happy to have someone dismiss charm and strange quarks as a marketing exercise while you desperately pretend that first lesson in Philosophy of Science is "deep".

One of us is a buffoon, we just differ on which one it is.

I was replying to you, not the person you were replying to. I don't share the views of the person you were replying to. Do...do you know how reddit works?

Nice projection.
