I am not pleased you believe that I have picked be up “Guff”. I have no problem with Popper, I do with your idea that science is some kind of consensus. This is the basis of the problem you seem to have. Consensus means nothing, particularly when applied to facts. Science only deals with facts, and whilst these may not be absolutely proven there must be a place for doubt. There is a severe problem with the pure and applied sciences at the moment, this is that any dissension from an accepted view, even with evidence and logical argument is unacceptable.

You seem unhappy with Newton's laws of motion, I am too, but because they are not complete. Why do planets orbit the sun? Please give me an equation for all the forces at every point of the orbit that has an elliptical solution. Why can one focus have a strong gravitational force (the sun) and the other nothing? Why is the elliptical curvature at the two ends identical although the forces acting are very different? Newton offers no solution to that one BTW, not even in Principia. Neither does anyone else, if you ask the question the answer is bluster, the answer ought to be simple. The “Why” question is banned!

I wonder if you have ever tried to get a paper published that offers any criticism of the “Standard Model”, even with evidence of problems? The same with Gravity, Einstein's tensor calculus is false at the fundamental level, the pseudo tensor has no basis whatsoever and is a false construct. This is why we have no proper understanding of gravity or the unification of forces.

You appear to come from a background of philosophy because the sayings of Plato have no meaning in a decision about science. Many people have tried to “decide” science, but Occam has the last laugh, basically, if you cannot explain something exactly it is probably wrong. There is a movement at the moment trying to use the idea of “personal truth” being true to a person, but not true in fact. Identification of Men and Women are typical subjects, it is simply causing a ridiculous mess for everyone, but cannot override the anatomical facts. That is the real “Guff”.
