Wait, you don't believe in the standard model of physics?
I mean, it's just a model, and it has problems. But it also has had amazing predictive capability, and it's real science.
I don't believe in the standard model of physics, except to certain points. For example, there are interactions with metals and amorphous solids which can't be explained with atomic physics. Water probably can't ultimately be explained by it. Like how does a snowflake form a planar crystal? Stick with what you can see, touch, feel, because every instrument encodes an ontology: a relationship to the universe. Even a simple ruler can fool you (try using it at near light speed)....
