Sorry, now I have to be pedantic :-)

If it didn't contradict known physics then it'd be understood. The thing in question might be valid, but not explainable by known physics. Even if valid it would still be ruled out by the 'known physics' criterion.

How does that follow? If known physics doens't explain something, then how can we understand it? I'm having difficulty playing devil's advocate now coz I don't want to end up sounding like a tin foil hat wearer. :D
