You turned this into what I believe ... I can work in many different frameworks and they all have problems. Again the function of physics is to be useful and predictive not worrying about what is believed.

The problem in classical physics framework is exactly as you have worked out you get forces you can't see or measure and the results of those forces can go to infinity or zero. Yet you have an effect that is real and observable.

To layman that may not be a problem by in physics that is unacceptable because it means we are missing something.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
