Mainstream physics

Mainstream physics is the body of physical law taught in public schools, universities, and journals — classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, special and general relativity, and quantum mechanics. It describes the world accurately within the regime it has been permitted to test — low energy densities, weak torsion, and the third-density conditions of ordinary human life — but forms only the limiting case of a fuller physics, whose remainder, governing gravity control, vacuum energy, and metric engineering, has been classified and withheld as exotic physics.

Bounded by limits such as the speed of light and the second law of thermodynamics, mainstream physics treats gravity and inertia as fundamental forces and the quantum vacuum as effectively empty — assumptions that hold within its own regime yet fail where recovered non-human craft and the reverse-engineering programs operate. Disclosure researchers attribute its incompleteness to deliberate compartmentalization under measures such as the Invention Secrecy Act, rather than to error in its established results (see suppression of exotic physics).
