Most people are too indoctrinated to entertain the idea that theoretical physics can be wrong. Tell them that it's a collection of insane assumptions that are completely divorced from reality and they will think you are a retard in a tinfoil hat.
Just take light and the double-slit experiment: let's assume that there is a field of particles that is the medium of light, and what we consider to be light is a wave going through these particles. Suddenly the double-slit experiment is quite mundane, because these particles constantly interfere each other. It's like launching a jet of water towards the slits, and placing a sinlge speck of sand in that jet; of course it will impact the screen according to the way the waves of the water interfere each other.
The other alternative is to say that there is no such field of particles, and the atoms are launching photons into what we can consider to be a perfect vacuum. In that case atoms either have a (limited or unlimited) supply of preexisting photons, or they somehow make a new proton out of nothing. And once launched that photon simply knows how to impact the screen behind the slits, because… reasons. If you accept all of this, then you are free to wank to the idea of matter bearing information and you can speculate about other dimensions where photons are being bred by the astral intelligence of the universe, or some other new age bullshit. But if you doubt that photons just appear out of nowhere, then you are just too dumb to understand physics.
