I understand your point, but it's possible scientists figured out the core was largely made of iron by testing a series of ferromagnetic metals and their densities, and assumptions based on the material recovered from meteorites. Also in part to understanding why compasses pointed in the same...

EXACTLY. The same way we know that a fluctuating magnetic field is responsible for EMF induced in a conductor, because we are able to excite it at will for testing, and its not simply the electron breaking orbitals due to random anomalies. It's not that I want to Higgs to be non-existent. To...

I'll be a little more specific. Are the physicists stating that they do not have a true and defined "entity" for the so-called Higgs Field and therefore, are simply stating that whatever is imparting mass of particles is to be called the Higgs FIeld? But then, even if the Higgs Field isn't...

I can understand using calculations to determine if a particular quark configuration will work and not decay instantly, but how do calculations determine which particles or fields will have a specific influence over space-time if they weren't able to control the particle or field at will? How...
