Maybe I should be clearer, I'm talking about things like black holes, 'antimatter', quarks whatever the hell they are, strange matter etc.

Sorry to break it to you; Just about all of it is based on solid scientific theory and observation. Quarks and most of the other particles in the standard model have been experimentally verified in particle colliders and various other experiments, like cosmic ray collection.
To give you an example of how good the math these physicist do is:
Here is the predicted value of the W boson: 80.3900±0.0180 GeV
Here is the actual value as measured in experiments:
80.4120±0.0420 GeV
Pretty accurate for being alot of voodoo i think. I apologize that you dont understand it, but dont act like a caveman and call something you dont understand "magic". I bet you dont understand how your microwave oven works but you dont denouce it as magic and burn it do you?

The people who agree with you are the others who are not willing to make the effort to understand physics, are intimidated by the mathematical aspects of it, or for whatever reason don't want to understand it.
It is outrageous to call fully understood and respected science "voodo." You are completely wrong. Just walk over and flip the light switch. The light comes on because physics is correctly understood. Try driving your car. You are constantly manipulating relationships that are understood only through the science of physics.
So get used to it. Learn to use it, or sweep floors for the rest of your life. Dig?

Aw, did Deepak Chopra and his cronies make you mad?
I don't really understand your question/assertion, but if you add details I'll come back and try again.

absolutely. there is no undeniable justification for believing that anything we observe is real. therefore physics, along with the whole of what we call reality, can be easily dismissed as fictitious wishful thinking.

Nope, I disagree. Gravity works, hon.

i heart formulas!
are you sure you're not talking about one of those weird physics like quantum or astro or relativity or atomic? those maaybe. but regular physics like work and acceleration and torque and momentum and velocity can all be proven..
or are you talking about psychics?

I would assume you do not know much of physics.
