:blush: Okay.

Yes, that's a good postulate. Rationality is at the heart of scientific endeavor. Just like in philosophy, where "therapy" is the remedy for obsession...

We can be an optimist and say it's self-correcting.
September 19, 2021 at 02:36
Not sure if I even have the stamina at this point. Just try to read through the thread.
September 19, 2021 at 00:06
Guess who the front-men are. Bohr, for example.
September 19, 2021 at 00:04
Yes. What's your point?
September 18, 2021 at 22:12
Hah! Not until after it gets "excited" and jumps to higher energy orbit. It is the distance from the nucleus that electron increases the potential ene...

I don't how you worded your question in that forum. But, the thinking in terms of economic is linear progression. Which means, for example, productivi...

Yes. Measured in quanta? So I guess the heretical point is that how can a measured energy absorbed not translate into the same measure in movements?

"Bohr was fully conscious of this most heretical feature of his considerations: he mentions it with due emphasis in his paper....."In the necessity of...

@"TheMadFool" change the negation of universal with an existential. Then try to see if a logical equivalence is equal to a logical translation.
September 18, 2021 at 07:02
Yes! Lovely. :halo: When you love someone. I actually noticed that what I wrote in my previous post was .."flaws in all". 'corrected it. But I know wh...

It's where you place the negation. It makes a difference from 1. G = God exist. 2. ~G = God doesn't exist.
September 18, 2021 at 03:03
What? I'm always lost in the meanings of the posts in the lounge. :rage:
September 18, 2021 at 02:35
And yeah, I give him the best fuck ever!
September 18, 2021 at 02:08
You accept the person, flaws and all. You leave him alone when he wants to be. But embrace him when he's back.
September 18, 2021 at 01:56
Neither. We are talking about decline theorists' estimate of..well..implosion of science.
September 18, 2021 at 01:53
I'm game.
September 18, 2021 at 01:34
Hmm. You can be either, but not both.
September 17, 2021 at 06:20
:lol: For sure!!

September 17, 2021 at 05:38
Don't worry. I'm still trying to figure out tim wood myself.
September 17, 2021 at 05:30
Oh not at all. It's obvious. What with the name Noble Dust.
September 17, 2021 at 05:18
:smile:
September 17, 2021 at 05:09
Quite right! You can say measure again.
September 17, 2021 at 04:40
Who is it, Banno?
September 17, 2021 at 04:34
:meh: I don't watch tv.
September 17, 2021 at 04:28
Okay, cause when I read your post, the first thing that came to mind was you're a mensa-level stupid, but refused to join the club of stupid people. S...
September 17, 2021 at 04:25
Like the Chernobyl incident and Exxon-Valdez? :halo:
September 17, 2021 at 04:15
I haven't read through the entire thread, so I don't know if at one point, it's been defined here. But examples would be helpful -- I mean, is it stup...
September 17, 2021 at 03:29
True. Too many things to put together for the sake of decline theory. So, I'll leave this issue open for now. I think the fact that Rosenfeld supporte...
September 17, 2021 at 02:22
Yeah, someone has to digest for us this idea of complementarity -- with an e, not i. But don't dwell on this one example. We are trying to make a poin...
September 16, 2021 at 03:53
I have a physical copy of his remark. I will type it here. Unfortunately, I think, online we won't find publications for free. Here's the excerpt: "Th...
September 16, 2021 at 03:47
Okay thank you. This is actually good! That is a critique of scientific methodology, which really is at the heart of the debate. I understand your poi...
September 16, 2021 at 03:33
I did. Maybe you need to re-read my posts like, 5 times?
September 15, 2021 at 05:57
If you promise to read every damn response I've thrown at ya so far.
September 15, 2021 at 05:55
I did not actually cite that particular issue here -- the unvaccinated. After all, using the HP means employing it on a case by case basis. Slowly now...
September 15, 2021 at 05:28
I see. Maybe you're one of those with no common sense.
September 15, 2021 at 05:22
@"Bartricks" note that JS Mill does not condone stretching the Harm Principle to ridiculousness or absurdity. It's called the Common Sense principle. ...
September 15, 2021 at 05:21
The Harm Principle -- others can restrict your rights to certain things or activities if those things and activities can physically harm them. Second-...
September 15, 2021 at 05:16
@"Bartricks" JS Mill's harm and offense principle might help here. In favor of @"Xtrix" due to the nature of harm being considered in this thread.
September 15, 2021 at 05:06
Just for convenience, and to make a point, please read the below snippet: "BOHR’S complementarity principle, first announced by him in his Como lectur...
September 15, 2021 at 04:36
Apparently they do.
September 15, 2021 at 04:16
Okay please read my post above to Bylaw. Thanks.
September 15, 2021 at 04:05
Bylaw, could you perhaps search for Leon Rosenfeld, in his scathing remark to Niels Bohr's "On the Constitution of Atoms and Molecules". It is Leon Ro...
September 15, 2021 at 04:01
And what did you just try to explain? That scientists are mortal like normal people? We've touched on this -- violence kills, absolute violence kills ...
September 15, 2021 at 03:51
Please see my response to @"Gobuddygo" above. If you could somehow explain to me how corporations influence or change science -- besides the enterpris...
September 15, 2021 at 03:44
Yes, there is propaganda -- just to inject the uncertainty of quantum fields into the discipline. You are correct to attack the methodology.
