Only when your eyes gaze over Escher the day turns into night. Escher even predetermined you gaze and perception. You have to stop time first. Only th...

A particle is no concept. It's a reality.
January 27, 2022 at 01:22
But not according to any method, so certainly not to the fairy tale propagated here. I'm not bound to any method. I don't mind that someone wants to g...

Sorry! Didn't see this! :smile: Which means time is involved in the change in color.

How on Earth you wanna keep t constant? By clapping in your hands and make time stop? If so, how you wanna move over x?
January 26, 2022 at 23:23
Why do I need to use and manage my knowledge? I have no intention using it let alone managing it.
January 26, 2022 at 23:20
Indeed. On your side. Time can't be kept constant. It runs no matter what.
January 26, 2022 at 21:48
I couldn't agree more.
January 26, 2022 at 21:43
How do you know? By moving your attention from bottom to top in time.

A method is a dogma. You have introduced a method, a dogma. You might not be dogmatic about it, but it's still a dogma. The dogma of scientific method...

The dogma of the scientific method
January 26, 2022 at 20:32
That's simply because we don't know how it is to be matter.

We're wired to be selfish? By our selfish genes? Any act of altruism being selfish in nature in fact, because we are ordered so by our genes and memes...

I'm well aware that reality as I perceive the object with a bias. How else could it be? But so does Rovelli, who objects to the notion of a particle. ...

That's what I meant. A fairy tale. There is no scientist in the world who behaves and thinks obediently to a method. In fact, progress in science can ...

I did some reading here and encountered the proposition that atomic bombs are for defense only (even saw it mentioned that the use of these toys can b...

So that's literally what is done. SCM is a fairy tale. It's nor true nor false. Just a tale. It contains six chapters: First - Put together what you k...
January 26, 2022 at 15:32
Why it does require that? We can consider an object without decontaminating our body of "selfish genes" and the mind of acquired believes. We can disc...

Yes. There will be no more humans to sustain the exhaust of carbondioxide or to inflate economy. Emissions of all poisons will be zero, unless some fo...

Both the assumed existence of the universe as a language and math being the language spoken by it (the "universal language") are utterly nonsensical. ...

Most things in the universe have no corresponding mathematical structure. Only approximations will do. What's the mathematical structure of a piece of...

You are the "father of modern bouldering"? And a mathematician too? That's quite something! I saw quite an impressive picture of you. You hang on one ...

I we consider a constant t there is a change in color when we vary x. These are partial derivatives though: \frac{\partial c} {\partial x}. How on Ear...

Tasty flavors! I think there are two flavors of tasty stuff. They are pure kinetic energy. Let's call them L(iquorice), and S(ugar). And let's call th...

Scientific reality can't be caught in a metaphysical jacket. For scientific practice to be free, not one jacket will do. They become straight jackets.
January 26, 2022 at 00:02
I certainly don't need the fairy tale book of Collingwood to base my science and actions on. I can learn of the brothers Grimm even more, and I know t...

Don't think so. Quarks can be viewed as triplets. An up-quark is TTV. A down quark tvv. An electron is ttt and a neutrino VVV. Small letters anti part...

But what a mathematical "Field" (why do you write it with a capital F?). If we are a collection of mathematical formulas, is there an isomorphism betw...

Sorry for asking, but are you the "mountaineer"?
January 25, 2022 at 21:43
So you base your philosophy on fairy tales rather than on solid fact?
January 25, 2022 at 21:43
That's the true spirit of democracy! The term is too often abused to justify the tyrant. My husband, a meteorologist at the NWS, once explained me. Th...

Why you don't understand this? I have read this (interesting!) thread ab initio. You asserted "that no philosophical position is meaningful unless it ...
January 25, 2022 at 19:36
Do you have scientific evidence for this assertion?
