Yes! I think that "elegant" applies. |

Nice.
An additional level of complexity that could be added is extraneous/questionable evidence (pictured as dots in weird places). |

This is really interesting. It raises some questions for me though.
The evidence that you show is represented by dots, as if to indicate that each piece of evidence is a part of a whole. But evidence, which can amount to facts based on personal experience, is dependent both on time and how the mind-body observes what it sees. What I see today, I may see completely differently tomorrow and what I see today I may never see again; and just as the data gathered from an experiment depends on what tools were used to analyze and interpret the evidence, affecting the evidence to some degree, but hopefully a minimal degree that can be measured, if we change those tools we can receive completely different results, aka quantum physics. In other words, time is still a measure of how things relate to one another, just as all other characteristics of relating allow us to measure.
In this sense, your evidence would be limited to perceiving a certain fractal layer of reality (turtles all the way down) where the difference in evidence can be accounted for by re-calibrating accuracy and precision for different measurement tools? But if evidence can be viewed from different relative positions (fractals) with respect to other things because of the scope of time, perhaps by zooming in infinitely, the relationships with other things become different, therefore changing any preconceived evidence of how things relate. It would be like if you had a bearing and inside the bearing you had many layers of circles of balls that are the same size as you go to the center of the bearing. If you hold the middle of the bearing and move the outer ring, the balls will cause each other to rotate, but the balls in the middle rotate the slowest; for their reaction, they create an equal and opposite reaction in the other balls, however that reaction becomes relative in this case, depending on the circumferential layer in question. The balls towards the center of the bearing perform less revolutions compared to the outer balls. Their ability to relate to the other balls is slower, hence a slower implied time between them, hence Einstein and relativity and crap. |

Welcome to SFN, dreambacon!
Is what you are saying in effect that quantum physics (discovered through science) makes the universe immune to objective scientific analysis?
If so, I must say that I reject an anything-goes, all-perceptions-are-equally-valid approach to seeking truths about our universe, based upon a faddish distortion of quantum physics or not. I just got finished with a very brief post on (among other things) Dr. Andrew Weil's promotion of that woo-ridden, fake-quantum nonsense, and how it is death to good medicine, though a boon to quackery and his own corporate sales. |

But it's not turtles all the way down. The world rests on the back of four elephants, which stands on the turtle. Very different entities which operates totally different from each other.
Only in very specific cases do our perceived reality intersect with quantum mechanics.

Your understanding of ball bearings seems flawed. The the bearing only needs three components to work: the outer ring, the balls, the inner ring. If you set a bearing withit a bearing, you can pour locktite(tm) in the inner bearing, and the outer one will still work.
As for "hence Einstein and relativity and crap"... Don't let your inability to comprehend relativity and quantum mechanics be a reason to dismiss those theories. They are powerful models of how the universe works, and it has brought us such cool stuff as GPS-navigators and Terrabyte harddrives. |
