An Odd Boundary on the Faith/Science Frontier

This is a repackaging of some half-baked ideas I first posited a number of years ago.
::::::::::::::::::

Think about atoms. Atoms make up matter and matter makes up physical objects. When you see an object, you are seeing light reflected off of the surface atoms of the object. This attribute is commonly called "reflection." Photons of light hit the surface atoms and bounce back toward the viewer.

But let's just consider the second leg of that journey for a moment - the transmission from the atom to the viewer - and call that "flection". Flection can be viewed as an atom broadcasting the attributes of it's "viewer-facing" hemisphere to the viewer. For purposes of this exercise, there must be a viewer involved.

But consider a type of matter where the atom did not transmit its "viewer-facing" hemisphere but instead transmitted the state of it's other (what I'll call "reverse") hemisphere. It would trasmit whatever it "saw" on it's opposite side. The atom would then be invisible to the viewer. With me so far?

Well if you are, let's say, for the sake of argument, that such "reverse-flection atoms" could logically exist based on the laws of physics and that "flection" and "reverse-flection" transmit not just photons, but all other observable/measurable attributes. This would make "reverse-flection atoms" invisible to any tool we might use to assay normal matter. (Could this explain the "missing mass" in the universe?)

I described all this to a neighbor who happened to be an astronomer with the European Space Agency and, while he did not dismiss it out of hand, he rightly pointed out that if it there is no scientific way to prove/disprove the theory, then it's a matter of faith, not science. So by that logic I guess I could conceivably be a prophet for a new religion LOL. Give new meaning to the term genuflection, eh?
