Please understand that posts on PF are about mainstream science, not about what MIGHT be. We use the definitions and rules that science has given us and are accepted by the vast majority of people. We CANNOT simply start changing what things are called and what they mean whenever we want, otherwise what's the point of agreeing on a definition in the first place?

Drakkith, I guess you are right. I've read the forum rules carefully, and see that there is a special section for the non-mainstream physics discussions. I find it very interesting. Thank you!
