Morano El-Kholy Dec 28, 2020: @Milena Atanasova You are correct, dear, in your assumption :) Best regards.
Milena Atanasova Dec 28, 2020: hammer/hammering "Hammering", "take some hammering" should mean "be subject to criticism". So, is ليس من الممكن الرفض التام/ الدحض القاطع إلخ للنظرية؟ a possible translation? Is there more context? Another meaning "decrease in value" This is Cambridge: hammering take/get a hammering to decrease suddenly and by a large amount in price or value: Profits will take a hammering when cheap copycat products come on to the market.

يتطلب الدحض القاطع

I think what is basically being said is that there's a phenomenon that cannot be explained. So, which laws of physics are to blame?
Newton's theory of gravity? No. Einstein's theory of relativity? No, hold the hammer, don't use its full force and don't try to refute it just yet.
