Is this science? Not where I teach.
I am glad you are not my teacher. Go to the texts on classical mechanics (probably not the ones you use when you teach) and find out what mass implies. There is nothing wrong in physics to extrapolate from one concept to another: read the Feynman lectures. There is no fault to extrapolate and to speculate on a new proposed model; as far as I know this is done every day.If new models are not proposed and analysed on a daily basis science will stagnate. Is this the case where you teach? I will not be surprised. I cannot understand your beef!
