Even in the best of times that is in short supply.

That's not quite what I'm trying to do here, but it is a legit interpretation. Let me try a sort of quirky different approach. Suppose we appoint you ...

At the risk of not-picking, the discussion I started - Who Owns the Land - was not specifically about N. Ireland. Instead it was an attempt to see if ...

Might makes right.

You might find this helpful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach If nothing else it's a great read.

The particulars of the N. Ireland situation are interesting and give some reasons to be optimistic that there's a non-violent resolution. But is there...

My sincere hope is that the Ireland situation gets resolved without yet more violence or threats of violence. But I feel that way about Ukraine/Russia...

Nice explanation. :cheer:

Right - but there's an entire page of posts over just this point. I'm trying to suggest (in my own inadequate way) that the discussion is pointless un...

At least they're not chucking missiles at each other - yet. But yes.

Current events in history remind us that throughout history, people have committed the most horrific acts of violence and destruction over control of ...

Respectfully suggest that this particular conversation be continued over here: Who Owns the Land?

Nothing’s the Matter With Antimatter

So then Hindus are no different than atheists when it comes to the Truth?

Does Truth exist for Muslims & Hindus?

Precisely. And the purpose of the 10 million different measuring apparatuses (apparati?) is to measure velocity. So QED we are measuring velocity. And...

Fascinating stuff - I don't have the time/energy to fully delve into it. BTW, here's the link: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/14659/page/p1...

Agree that my speedometer could be broken and be a faulty representation. But now my car has 10 million speedometers (it's a very large car) and they ...

I can't speak for other countries, but here in the USA that is most definitely NOT the job of a criminal lawyer. The job of a criminal lawyer in the U...

One step at a time. Do you acknowledge that "The readout on my speedometer shows 60 mph" is a true statement per the CToT?

OK I'll modify the statement to meet your exacting standards. Instead of this:. we'll say this "The digital readout on the speedometer shows 60 mph"

This is not the Correspondence Theory of Truth - you have introduced the metaphysical concept of truth into the mix. If you and I are traveling in a c...

Can you give an example of a statement involving the mathematical measurement of some physical property of an object that you would consider to be a t...

Here is the plain language definition per wikipedia "In metaphysics and philosophy of language, the correspondence theory of truth states that the tru...

I don't know how to do that on my keyboard, but now that you've shown the way I can cut & paste from your example. :clap: BTW that was paper from Eins...

You came in later. I had to use punch cards - but graduated to paper tape.

Hah - I'm showing my age. We used that in Fortran programming. It's somewhat obsolete now but can still see it used occasionally. E.g. here you'll hav...

Tim, Flannel, and Wonderer beat me to the punch here. Any statement in the form "such-and-such a person observed X at such-and-such place & time" is e...

Assume all of that is done to your satisfaction beyond all reasonable doubt. " **2 " means raised to the second power (i.e. squared). So " **3 " means...

I'm still not clear on your usage of the word truth - because I went back and am seeing this: E.g., if I say that I observed an object in a vacuum cha...

AFAICT we're basically in agreement here. But I'm curious what MU has to say.

We're going way off topic here, but when you use the word "truth" are referring to the Correspondence Theory of Truth?

So just to be clear, you sincerely believe that Einstein (along with the entire scientific community) misinterpreted the results of M-M and are engagi...

The behavior of particles at the atomic & sub-atomic levels does not correspond to anything in the macro world (AKA classical physics) - and analogies...

I'll try one more time. You feel that there is an important distinction between pressure vs threat so I'm conceding the point. So again - T was merely...

I'm glad we agree on that. You're really hung up on this - so for purposes of this particular discussion I'll go with your distinction. So Trump "pres...

I don't speculate in metaphysics so I can't help you with this. I suggest you take your speculations to a physics forum - they will help you understan...

Raffensperger himself has stated that Trump pressured him. I can't speak for Raffensperger so f you disagree you'll have to take it up with him. Meanw...

Ha - you beat me to it!

I did and it refutes what you are saying. Per Wikipedia: "Physics theories of the 19th century assumed that just as surface water waves must have a su...

M-M explicitly disproved that notion. If there was a substance, then M-M would have detected it. That's what eventually led to relativity. If I'm misu...

Maybe? You're gonna need a lot more than that. Please provide evidence that in January 2021 Raffensperger was being pressured to NOT overturn the GA e...

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but the Michelson–Morley experiment disproved that idea.

Regarding "spin", here's a good explanation from Scientific American: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/quantum-particles-arent-spinning-so-w...

This is Trump talking to Raffensperger "And you are going to find that they are — which is totally illegal — it is more illegal for you than it is for...

Trump literally said "So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.” ...

This is too funny. NOS gave that exact reply.

At the time of these events the DOJ was being run by Trump's own people. At the time of these events the "Georgia officials" were all Republicans and ...

I wasn't even thinking about the equilibrium temp - but yes - I'm glad you finally got it. It takes an exceptionally honest person to admit they were ...

I must be a glutton for punishment to continue this, but I'll try one more time. Jeez! How many times do I have to say this? Yes. I'll try a slightly ...
