Familiar with Dr. Sheldon Cooper, theoretical physicist?
I'm Dr. Miman2 theoretical chemist, also in academia where it's literally a publish or perish mentality.
The theory being developed has to be correct to be used by others and you need evidence to proved that it is correct.
Without that evidence then you have no proof the theory you're working on is correct.
A lack of or weak evidence makes your theory questionable at best and a joke/career killer at worst.

Yes I know Dr Sheldon Cooper, or at least the character on TV.
I have a very scientific mind too.

Throw a ball up in the air and it returns to earth via gravity.
Right?

Unless you are in outer space and their is no gravity.

Believe it or not everything that is talked about and done here is very scientific.

Problem is that our EXPECTATIONS are that we are on earth and gravity will make the ball go up then down.

I would say it is more likely that you must learn to drink coffee while sitting on the ceiling using a fork.
Then you start to understand this stuff.
Or think - Alice in Wonderland!

This all really does have science behind it.
Do some research and you will start to understand.
