>Thought experiments arent science.

By that standard we should have drop many of the cutting edge theory that was ever produced in science. It took like a century between some of Einstein’s thought experiments and any possibility to challenge them experimentally.

And while Lucretius’ idea of atom was very different than the one we kept with standard model, it actually has put the concept on the table several thousand years before they could be falsified experimentally.

It looks like you should seriously consider to expand your epistemological knowledge if you want to contribute more relevantly on the topic.
