I didn't really want to get into this, especially with someone so rude and obtuse, but here we go, i guess...

Uh quantum mechanics is from the 20th century, and what most people mean when they say relativity is from the 20th century.
victorian age is generally the late 1800's to the early 1900's, and maybe its a stretch to say the 1920's are victorian, but i believe you understood my point, that much of this stuff is based on old out dated notions and built on false assumptions like the nuclear atom, but i don't intend to argue for or against a theory, the resources and information is out there for those that look

Really, so you believe quantum mechanics is from the Victorian Era, but it requires the LHC?...
to gather real data and observations on quantum, yes you need an LHC, i'm sorry but the double slit experiment would not hold up in today's world, therefore it means that quantum is purely theoretical and mathematical theory craft for 99.9% of the population, which throws it into the realm of religion because it requires faith to believe in these academic wizards

The big bang does not require "belief in black holes". And I just don't know what to say to your notion that red-shifting isn't real....
big bang, expanding universe, and black holes are all implied by each other, i have not seen any big bang theory that does not include all 3 things, and there is no observational evidence for black holes, or expanding universe, and the ridiculously low age date they put on the universe of 14 billion years or so is truly sad, the universe cannot be dated with an age, because time itself is part of the universe, it might as well be called ageless, or beyond human comprehension, for our purposes
on red shift, i never said red shift it self is not real. red shift is a real observatio, it cannot however be used as an accurate determination for distance as quasars have proven beyond doubt

Tell that to the clerk at the grocery store when he gives you your change...
