Are you saying my method is not scientifically valid? Are you saying that colour in paint is a byproduct of electronic adsorption by d band electrons and htus mixing them is not mixing two colours as such but is the mixing of compounds which will alter the available orbitals in ways they are determined by quantum mechanics with no reference to the final colour? Because that would be a stupid thing to say.

But okay. An unassailable theory: Imagination exists. It may in fact be the only thing in the entire universe we know for sure is real.
Define imagination. Just so you know, your theory can be taken apart.

Are you saying that gravity has some sort of "equivalence principle" the formulation of which would lead us to discover things like some form of strange, undetectable, perhaps "dark" matter and perhaps relies more upon geometrical effects in spacetime than direct grabbing of the object with invisible hands?
Cause that would also be stupid.


Holy fuck guys, way to kill my buzz.
