Well, we really only have theories of gravity, right? We know for certain that gravity exists, but all we can do is try to make better and better models that predict its effect. And, the key is, those models don't have to be provably real... they just have to be useful. No one needs to capture a jar full of gravitons, or a bucket of space-time, to use them, you know?

So, I see LoA the same way. I think many of us can agree that staying focused on our goals and taking advantage of synchronicities tends to breed success, and opposite for focusing on negative things. SR is one theory of how that might work. Your previous post about the way thoughts have an impact on the way you see and notice things is another theory of how it might work (and, it's the idea I keep coming back to, myself, actually).
