Proving modern physics can NEVER solve the long-term unsolved fundamentally important problems in physics at all

Postulate-based modern physics utterly skips over the mechanism thus essence behind its describing phenomena via the “help” of several dozens of assumptions, hypotheses and postulates
------------------------------------------------ by Bingcheng Zhao

Related knowledge: modern physics is based on several dozens of assumptions, hypotheses and postulates (AHPs) ---- there are more than 28 main and tangible AHPs in the main theoretical pillars and frameworks of modern physics (P. 12, Preface, reference #1), so the real name of modern physics should be postulate-based modern physics.

Well-known and undeniable fact 1: postulate-based modern physics has three theoretical pillars: special relativity, general relativity, and quantum mechanics. However, special relativity does not and cannot solve the fundamentally important problem of why time and space are variable thus relative in different inertial frames; general relativity does not and cannot solve the fundamentally important problem of why time and space are variable thus relative in gravitational field; quantum mechanics does not and cannot solve the fundamentally important problem of why there are quantum states. In other words, postulate-based modern physics does not and cannot solve the two fundamentally problems in physics: why time and space are variable thus relative, and why there are quantum states. <>Three pieces of related information: (a) special relativity has been proven to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong ---- special relativity turns out skipping over the mechanism thus essence behind its describing phenomena (P. 149 ~ 178, Ch.1D, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz73.blogspot.com/ ). (b) General relativity has been proven to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong ---- the postulate of equivalence principle turns out skipping over the mechanism behind itself (P. 399 ~ 444, Ch.4A, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz74.blogspot.com/ ). (c) Quantum mechanics has been proven to be fundamentally, essentially and crucially wrong ---- quantum mechanics cannot solve the four most important problems in quantum physics (P. 346 ~ 359, 3.19, Ch.3E, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz75.blogspot.com/ ).

Well-known and undeniable fact 2: there are several dozens of long-term unsolved fundamentally important problems in physics (i.e., long-standing fundamentally important problems in physics). The most outstanding and compelling problems include: dark energy, dark matter, the Higgs boson, the Pioneer anomaly, gamma ray bursts, ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays, the GZK paradox, the cosmological constant, quantum gravity, gravitational waves, gravitons, the “black hole information paradox”, and the fundamental nature of black holes, etc.

The key to understanding of the proven fact that postulate-based modern physics never has the ability to solve those long-term unsolved fundamentally important problems in physics. (1) The prerequisite of solving those long-term unsolved fundamentally important problems is to solve the two fundamentally problems in physics: why time and space are variable thus relative, and why there are quantum states. However, this prerequisite cannot be satisfied at all ---- this prerequisite utterly cannot be realized within the paradigm of postulate-based modern physics (*note, postulate-based modern physics does not and cannot solve the two fundamentally problems in physics: why time and space are variable thus relative, and why there are quantum states, being two well-known and undeniable facts). (2) Logically, because postulate-based modern physics does not and cannot solve the two fundamentally problems in physics (why time and space are variable thus relative; and why there are quantum states) at the beginning, it never has the ability to solve those long-term unsolved fundamentally important problems in physics in the end. (3) The absolutely necessary precondition of solving those long-term unsolved fundamentally important problems is to reveal the mechanism thus essence behind the described phenomena. However, postulate-based modern physics utterly skips over the mechanism thus essence behind its describing phenomena via the “help” of several dozens of assumptions, hypotheses and postulates (reference #1 and reference #2).

Related Q-and-A, question: you have mentioned even emphasized that postulate-based modern physics does not and cannot solve the two fundamentally problems in physics: why time and space are variable thus relative, and why there are quantum states; that is well-known and undeniable fact to any professional people working in the area of physics, then is there any theory or theory system that can solve the two fundamentally problems in physics? What theory or theories can solve the two fundamentally problems in physics? Answer: YES, there is. The newly established and verified mechanism-revealed physics has completely solved the two fundamentally important problems in physics ---- why time and space are variable thus relative, and why there are quantum states (reference #1 and reference #2). Specifically: (a) the newly established and verified Mechanism-Revealed Scales Relativity Theory completely solves the fundamentally important problem of why time and space are variable thus relative in different inertial frames (P. 133 ~ 147, Ch.1C, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz3.blogspot.com/ ). (b) The newly established and verified Mechanism-Revealed Gravitational Theory completely solves the fundamentally important problem of why time and space are variable thus relative in gravitational field (P. 445 ~ 514, Ch.4B, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz20.blogspot.com/ ). (c) The newly discovered and verified law of orbiting electron periodic impulse emitting photons completely solves the fundamentally important problem of why there are quantum states (P. 193 ~ 214, Ch.2A, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz4.blogspot.com/ ).
