The problem though is that not all aspects of a human perspective can be reconstructed in the way you describe. And a human perspective, as @"wonderer...
Well, not really. Physics, with one of its principal subjects being the relations of one thing to another, motions, is actually designed for understan...
This assumption that there are things which we cannot talk about is unequivocally defeatist. That shows a very similar attitude to the judgement that ...
Air. How could you forget, you just asked about the possibility of removing the air? It appears you are having difficulty remembering simple things ti...
I've given this statement further consideration. The idealism presented by Plato (though it was not explicitly called "idealism") was the ontology hel...
You use "the world out there does not deceive" to justify "it's not the senses that mislead you". But you have provided no premise to connect those tw...
What does this mean, "narrowly correct"? How would you remove the air between them, if not by either pushing them together, or displacing it with some...
Of course there is empirical evidence involved, but it is the application of logic to the discrepancies found in the empirical evidence, which produce...
I think you have this backward. What the ancients, like Plato, demonstrated is that the senses deceive, and we ought to trust the mind with logic, ove...
Location is relative, so where each thing exists is relative to other things. "Space" is a complex concept which human beings use to describe and meas...
I think you're missing the point. There is no such thing as the perceived world. A world, or the world, is something created by the mind. As such it d...
I don't understand. The medium through which a body moves is what it is, whether it be air. water, aether, or whatever. Why do you require "space" to ...
Space and time exist as concepts produced for the purpose of facilitating measurement, and representation of what is measured, just like a coordinate ...
Oh yes I agree, we can "account" for some such influences, that's how we know they are somewhat real. But look at the way in which that is currently d...
Space is not something which we measure. We measure attributes like size, volume, and various relations (distance for example) between things. And by ...
What I find to be the crucial aspect of understanding the essential nature of "perspective", is to consider the temporal perspective of the human expe...
The problem though is that mathematicians do not adhere to the law of identity, they actual violate it. By affirming that whatever is referred to by t...
You seem to be missing out on the feelings of the trend-setter. The trend-setter intentionally does not fit in, is very comfortable with this position...
I don't get it. Why do you think there must be something "primordial"? There's all these different substances, water, air, jello, etc., how does "prim...
No, I'm saying that movement through "space" (see below for definition) is not reality. Real movement, in the real physical world. is always through a...
Here's an example which might serve to facilitate discussion. Suppose I draw a sketch of the horizon from my perspective, and I mark on it various sta...
When you go places, do you think you move through space? You are actually moving through air, i think. We measure different aspects of the world, the ...
The point though, in physics, time is defined as the measurement, as the Wikipedia quote indicates. There is no "time itself" in physics, because "the...
The problem is that there is no specific real thing, in physics, which corresponds with "duration". Duration is simply a relation between one activity...
The problem with the declaration that points in time are unreal is that the photoelectric effect demonstrates that there must be very real points in t...
Par for any commentary on Wittgenstein. Each and every one of us is familiar with a different Wittgenstein. Add to that the premise that multiple inte...
Good old Arsey Cola, with a name like that, no wonder they didn't go far. Or did they? I think they merged with Dr Pepper or something like that. Now ...
That sky is beautiful! I just love to see a deep blue sky like that. The blueness almost hurts my eyes because it seems somehow unreal. But it gives m...
Common language uses symbols, but of a different type from mathematics. The mathematical symbol is principally a visual object, while the symbol of co...
Right, 2+2 always equals 4. There's is no doubt about that. But how this relates to the physical world is another issue altogether. I'm interested in ...
The flaws I spent the last week and a half explaining. And it isn't the system, which I say is hypocritical, but it's people like you who recognize th...
In my area, summerlike weather often extends later into the fall, then suddenly there is a switch to winter-like weather. The same thing can happen in...
Sure, call it a "limit" instead of a point if you want, that doesn't change what it refers to, and that is a point of division, which separates one pe...
No, no, no, you're counting wrong. How many fingers do you have javi? October, November, December, that makes three months. Autumn is a quarter of the...
I mean "a good representation" of what actually happened, as i said, the goal is truth, in the sense of correspondence. I gave the goal, truth. That's...
The camera takes two shots, one at -.1s, and one at +.1 seconds. You produce the average, the speed for that time period, but this is obviously not a ...
As I said, I think calculus is very useful in very many situations. However, its usefulness has limitations. and when it is employed beyond these limi...
You are calculating the acceleration. That is the subject being discussed. The average velocity from a slice in time cannot be used in your calculatio...
A calculation of average velocity is inadequate for producing a measurement of acceleration, and this is the "job" we are discussing and "the job it i...
It's inadequate as a representation of what is actually going on. So it is inadequate in comparison to what a true representation of what is actually ...
This says nothing about the problem we're discussing. Sure. "constant speed" was a bad use of terms, But "approximate", and "average" do not imply tha...
As you said already, that "AVERAGE speed" is just an approximation. It does not accurately represent the motion of the thing over that period of time,...
Measurement of static objects is not the same as measurements of motions, so your example is not analogous, as the problem I was discussing, the issue...
I don't see how this is relevant. I am not rejecting any visible evidence, I am describing deficiencies of mathematical logic. Completely false repres...
I think you've stated my case for me very well, flannel. "Approximate" with respect to a representation means near, or close to what is actually the c...
No, that's what Ive been arguing, we really do not know the true physical properties of objects. I think that's what the experimentation with Bell's t...
I thought I explained this . The current state of "mathematics", the axioms and rules which are the current conventions, make it impossible that this ...
No, I don't think it was produced from faith. But if you told me the thing was going 9.8 metres per second after a second, and I had absolutely no und...
