If I don't find the jumps, that would contradict the model. Basic science, it would refute it and the model would require either refinement or replacement. However I find that very unlikely.
Why do you find it "very unlikely"?
Just analysis on other areas, when compared as overall models FET is substantially preferrable to the alternatives, specifically the model I hold to which predicts the discontinuity referred to. For an easy, relevant example, the non-linear decrease in gravity with respect to altitude is justified in this case, whereas under RET there's no actual reason for it to even approximate the inverse square law. That law normally applies when some tangible
thing is being spread out over a wider area, but the RE model of gravity is not a thing, it's supposed to be a result of the curvature of spacetime and as such has no reason to reduce in that fashion.
