If you cannot deal with even the verbal description of induction
priciples, and cannot grasp they concepts in mathematical descriptive
terminology, then how will you possibly ever be able to describe to
anyone what even your 'Aether' theory is, or what makes it correct and
predictive?

If it cannot be employed to make useful, measurable predictions, then
you are only preaching imaginary bull****!

Fools revel in in these types of speculation simply because they are
too lazy or stupid to learn even scientific basics.
