I am skeptical there is any song without hidden meaning. I perceive hidden meaning in every song --- or maybe that's just me. But if I perceive it, an...
Sure, but the condition was understanding, not "fully" understanding. And, I really do not understand what "fully understand" would mean, because some...
I already told you the problem with the "rigorous" solutions. They are not real solutions because they allow "infinite" which is fundamentally unintel...
What math? It's a philosophical problem, one which mathematics has not resolved. Look, there's a point in time, when a body at rest becomes a body acc...
The concept of "acceleration" involves a fundamental philosophical problem. Acceleration is the rate of increase of velocity. So if an object goes fro...
I didn't watch "Merry Poppins" until i was grown up, but I'm pretty sure it's all about popping acid. The "spoonful of sugar" gives it away. What was ...
No I don't agree with that at all, far from it in fact. Why would I just take it for granted that this is a true statement? I would have to see your j...
I wouldn't say that. Only through Platonism do abstract objects lose their subjectivity. but whether or not Platonism provides us with a representatio...
OK, so now we see a big difference between science and metaphysics. I would say metaphysics seeks truth, and truth means corresponding with reality. T...
No, I believe that there is divided opinion in the "scientific community", and many members of it do not even form an opinion about this, because it i...
Hi T Clark, back at your favourite pastime I see. Come in, spout some pseudoscience, then state your declaration. Care to tell me what you think you h...
Tim woods, your reading skills are as bad as T. Clark's. I didn't say "Mickleson-Morley is 'pseudoscience'". I was arguing that the conclusion, that s...
Well, I myself, am very sound evidence that this statement is a blatant falsity. And why do you think that this is "the science of the thing" when it'...
I think you've been corrected on this, the proper scientific description is "wave-like behaviour". So, I'm going to throw your line right back at you,...
Van Dyke was on so much TV, no wonder he's a big deal. Some of those old TV actors did so much, it's unbelievable, they must have just been working al...
I've noticed a few people who always act like they've never seen what I've written. This would explain why. Anyone home in there!!!? Calling Mikie! Ar...
Yes, all those reasons are valid possibilities, along with a myriad of others, some more prominent, some less. That you choose one as "the strongest",...
This is not at all true. The physics of waves is very definite. Waves require a medium. All physicists know this, it is taught in basic high school le...
It's very obvious that we do not need definite descriptions for proper names to work. We can just point to a thing and name it, with absolutely no des...
Well, I think there is two basic problems with the conclusions you draw from the experiment. First, is that you cannot necessarily say that it was a s...
I think it's better known as "rationalizing". When a person rationalizes it is quite likely that they do not actually believe what they are rationaliz...
You're displaying very poor reading skills T Clark. Please reread the statement you quoted. It's not at all a statement about the physics of light. I ...
Do you not agree that a "value" is the worth, desirability, or usefulness of a thing? And that this is the product of a judgement? If a particular thi...
It's not pseudoscience which I am engaged in, because I do not pretend to be doing science. I am speculating in metaphysics and not at all pretending ...
OK, I will admit that it is possible to say that a value is not itself a value judgement. We can say that it is the result, or consequence of a value ...
What M-M disproved is that the relationship between massive objects, bodies, and the ether, is not as was hypothesized. That does not prove that there...
OK, so now it's your turn to demonstrate why you believe that this particular flower, the one you call "duty", is more prolific than all the rest. I d...
As others have indicated,, , this is really incorrect. I would characterize the motivator for action as "ambition", or even "spirit", but that's just ...
I think what is needed here is a clear understanding of what is a "field". Wikipedia tells me that it is a geometrical representation which assigns va...
I definitely agree that value is not necessarily judged according to one system of logic, that's why values are commonly said to be subjective. But wh...
I made a reply to tim wood's statement of opinion "the electron is particle-like, and only cloudlike in the sense that it moves around really, really ...
OK, I see how you want to define "matter". You define it as the verb in the definitions above, "to be important or significant". Do you agree, that "i...
What you propose here is a distinction between things which occur because they are caused, and things which occur because there is a law operating. Th...
What seems to be, often is not what is the case. The issue is the nature of what has been called "persistence" in this thread. And although we take pe...
No, I'm being honest, it's not a matter of "because I do not know...". I'm going by what flannel jesus said: If the particle has no location at t50, t...
It's not quite correct to ask for such a separation in the use of "spin", because no matter how you look at it spin is still a type of angular momentu...
Good, you just made my retirement plan. Give away all my earthly property to my family, then take my 52-pack of cards, credit cards that is, and go on...
Is that legal, to run up enormous debt just prior to death, and leave your descendants liable for payment? I suppose one could run up a huge medical e...
That was an unsound conclusion you made, as you are prone. I choose my actions according to the situation, so I can be mean when meanness appears nece...
Yes, you very much were misreading me. I was talking about the deficiencies of the concept which is labeled with the word "spin", as stated in the fir...
We've seen a lot about proving things to you. No one can prove anything to you, which you do not want proven. But anything which you want proven, you ...
Just as I said, the so-called "spin" is not a property of a particle at all. The 3-d geometrical representation which is called "spin" cannot be the p...
It's not that the law is "untenable", because it, like the law of identity, holds, is applicable if it is ever required in argument, and is never prov...
