Unfortunately for your argument vibration isolation is scientifically recognized as possible and not only possible but necessary. Saying it's not possible seems a little, uh, over the top. Necessary in order to take high resolution photographs using an electron microscope. Necessary in order to observe gravity waves. And, more to the point, necessary to prevent low frequency structural vibration from getting up into sensitive electronic and mechanical parts of audio systems. Case in point: the tonearm that has a resonant frequency of about 10-12 Hz is excited by structural vibration of that frequency. To prevent or at a minimum reduce this vibration of 10-12 Hz in the tonearm vibration isolation techniques must be employed. Forget about airborne vibration. It's irrelevant. The speakers don't go low enough to excite the tonearm, cartridge, platter, laser assembly, etc. It can excite some things, but not those.
