One would have to say 'only what we observe exists,' which is obviously false.

No fairer destiny could be allotted to any physical theory than that it should of itself point out the way to the introduction of a more comprehensive theory, in which it lives on as a limiting case.
Albert Einstein

Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent People Ignore.
