Mario,

***Well, the quote you refer to isn't mine, but Sam's. But I do agree with him on this one. If it isn't observable and verifiable, it isn't scientific, by definition.***

There are many scientific unobservables (e.g., quarks). The key is that the theory must have predictive observables. There can still be unobservables. I think this is what you meant, but I don't think Sam is aware of this issue.

Warm regards, Harv
