You can count on me for that 80's reference, especially the TMNT references.  8)

@Gatt - I'm not sure you could be more wrong.  True science is not only aware of variables beyond their control, it actively seeks to isolate and understand them. Take this experiment for example. The scientists involved are challenging the validity of a constant that has remained unassailed for over 100 years. They have published their findings are are actively soliciting scrutiny.

Regarding dark matter, that's not a kludge, it's a placeholder for an unknown/unobservable quantity (i.e. "dark").  It is not an attempt to ignore the unknown, but to acknowledge, quantify, and speculate what it it and how it affects the known.

For that matter, the entire LHC project exists solely for the purpose of probing for the unknown.

As for science not producing anything useful, I would suggest you open up the computer you are typing on and look at the CPU chip for awhile. Without science, semiconductors don't exist.

Not unlike the electron beam in your CRT, the neutrino beam is guided to the target by man-made magnetic field. The effect of external forces is accounted for, but for all practical purposes the movement is one dimensional.

They were calling it "ether" 100 years ago.  Just as nonsensical.

Clearly you have the answers, so why don't you share your explanation with us? Perhaps you could even provide us with the word you use for these unknown quantities, so the rest of us will no longer sound "nonsensical".

That is unless you just wanted to thread crap...
