Bhandari's comment contains a link to Bhandari's conceptual theory that provides a nice example of one of the many creative proposals out there. It also confirms why Ethan's Siegel's articles are so valuable in giving insights into the received (accepted) views in theoretical physics. I wrote a paper addressing the lies that physicists regularly slip into to make their points to those of us in the peanut gallery. It pertains to both the educators and the speculators...through a relevant self-confession...
