it mean your physics experience is not complete yet .

n/or probably there are physical Hormonal chemical  imbalance in Brain .

Physics itself is not yet complete.  The ideas that I present here are certainly not my own.  They are the result of scientific knowledge gained from some of the finest minds on Earth who worked together unwittingly for centuries to reach this conclusion.  But, I'm sure you think that all of them had chemical imbalances as well.  Scientists in the past have been threatened, imprisoned and even killed for their novel (yet correct), ideas.  You want to gather some kindling and stakes to roast a few yourself?  (What hole do you idiots crawl out of?)   ???  :o

The ones arrogant ignoramuses like you keep digging, James! Pot holes in our streets, roads and freeways; luckily, our tire technology keeps improving… The clerical/bureaucratical mind will ever be with us. But we may minimize their influence, and thus the damage they do.

well, in this thread there are too many red herring , Argumentum ad hominem , etc

and causing  triggers of some mood swing .

i guess , this thread is deserves a lock .

OTOH , it's not that hard to make new thread about Science stuff , rather than hijacking some  thread .

not to mention , the purpose of this thread is just to recheck if some thing valid or not .

if valid , it mean well-played

if not , it mean need to change it with another valid n/or reasonable thingy.

It's okay, Sparta. Popper is long out of fashion in today's politicized "science." You shouldn't have expected anyone here to have noticed let alone recognized the quote you opened with…

If you can find it in translation, I'd recommend the book Wittgenstein's Poker to you. (For enjoyment and edification…)

You are but a voyeur of science!

There's anything more exciting than to peek through the keyhole to watch to y=mv2 undressing?
Do not confuse with watching to equations getting laid, that would be mere science pornography and probably forbidden in certain more puritan countries.

A matter of attitude.

Apparently I am not the object of your anger and ridicule, but this happens with all of us.  My point is that I'm not the kind of person who will sit still if you insult me and what I say right off the bat--keep doing what you're doing and you will keep getting what you get.  Most everyone on this site seems to be trying to top the last best smart ass remark, so I am just going along with the program here.  This obviously comes from some self-obsessed effort to appear to be the wittiest and smartest person on DnD, that is why so little can be learned here.  I have certainly done my fair share of this and at times carried it too far, but 'when in Rome...'.

I know how science works only because, for whatever reason, I am predisposed to understanding science and math easily and therefore, much of my life has been devoted to it.  I am not a genius, regardless of what my IQ says, but I can recognize genius in others and there appears to be some here, perhaps even yourself once I get to know you. 

However, there is not a lot of genius here mixed with other desirable traits such as humility, respect and focus.  I can mix it up with the best of them because passion runs high in me and when I first came here it seemed as though you had to either get tough or get lost.  I can be rational or rambunctious...your call.

Nice, when they let you know...

Only a moron like you would think it's cute to quote someone out of context to try and get a cheap laugh.  Do you beat off when you do that shit, is that what it is?

I'd thought you had offered some instruction on the ABCs of science? Perhaps I was mistaken…

Quote from: jseaton2311 on

The trick is to understand deeply, sir. My predisposition re science is philosophical analysis, not worship. You seem enamored of what Dennett called greedy reductionism, James, and you'll have to talk yourself out of it…
And that's the point of my posts here: To supply some occasion to you for that endeavor.

Just saw your reply to ensbb3, James… Doesn't this thread itself provide the context? Are not your posts in other threads corroborative?

Science , it's from latin .

Scientia ,

in my Science , everything will easier for everyone if -- not take everything personally .
