Well, I'd like to take that black body radiation equation, thank you very much, for starters. You know what? I could use all those radiative laws. Add a few absorption constants of atmospheric gases, plus a LoT or two, and I've got myself a simple set of equations that predict that CO2 and temperature are positively correlated. That matches the data! Now expand a bit, adding multiple layers, plus a few positive and negative feedback factors, and it's even better! Of course, I'm no expert, but this is a fairly good simplification.

What, you want some models? Ask a climate scientist. I don't have any quantum mechanics models on hand either. You want to doubt that? |

...that wasn't my point. I can't convince anybody of QM. I can't really even convince myself of it. Yet I still believe that science isn't misleading me. Oh. Oh. |

It simply means you need to go through the same line of reasoning as those before you have. That sounds bad, but it isn't that bad. Today we have shortcuts in the reasoning that weren't there originally. Because of this, going through that reasoning can open some interesting doors in the history of science along the way. Scientists become people, not just names in a textbook. I said before the circular argument is just another word for faith. This is where the faith comes in. It takes faith to put the effort into working through the reasoning yourself to see if there is anything to this quantum mechanics business. Eventually, faith becomes knowledge, as you discover one principle upon the next and how it all fits together mathematically. You will see where tests of falsifiability have been applied to each theory along the way. Look for that kill, kill, kill attitude against any theory to see it.

Last time you told me that, I focused on the definition of a "circular argument". Now I think you may be slightly off, but an actual point exists, and is quite a bit more important. That is, a circular argument is a pseudoargument - it appears to be a logical argument, but is really just an assertion with no proof or backing. Saying that X is the case simply because X is the case is more of a... Goddamn it. That is a circular argument. Yeah, it looks like I fabricated an argument to distract from your point, making myself look like an idiot in the process. Trust me, I'm normally a bit more knowledgeable and intelligent than that. There's something about this topic that brings out the stupid in me. Edited on 24-09-2016 04:39 |
