See below. Can’t be done for classical mechanics either.

Not nonsense. Very understandable. Nothing too hard. Just not brief.

I don’t think so. Try doing that for antenna theory. I’ll wait here.

And no practical value is being sought in the work. As stated already.

Nah. Everyone can compete for same resources. Just different purpose.

You can claim that but the population finds value in fundamental research
without application. That’s why they fund it.

Sorry but your elbowing for attention is counterproductive to your cause.

What do you mean “true scientific methods”. Asked twice now.
