It would require some thought.


Clearly, dividing one of Democritus' atmoms renders his theory FALSE and would require modifications be made. However, the existing model would serve as a good deal of cognitive support upon which said revisions would be made. Genetics is one of those examples in which the model(s) continue to be improved regardless of whether the theory that originally pointed people in the right direction is accepted or rejected. Frankly, I remember being taught Democritus' model as a young child, with the purpose of getting me to think about the subject, to get me to think about walls, for example, not as walls but as a composition of countless things that I could not see. I remember my "light bulb moment" when the teacher (a Catholic nun) told us kids to blow in each others faces and asked us why we could feel something.

Getting back to your question ... you have a great example for building science. There is no "how we know." We simply postulate what appears to be the case, e.g. gluons cannot be subdivided. That theory will stand until ... someone demonstrates a subdivided gluon. Basically there's no way for us to "know" until we do. So we operate under assumptions until such a point that our assumptions are shown to be FALSE.



.


And this gets back to what science is. We can have a theory that a gluon isn't divisible, but is that science? Is it possible to build a test to try to destroy that theory?

I submit that the theory that a gluon isn't divisible is a religion. Arguments extend from this initial circular argument. A circular argument it must remain, until one can devise a way to test it. Saying the test is that we haven't done it yet is an argument of ignorance fallacy.

It is much more sensible to take the position that we simply do not know...that there is NO theory of science about the question.



You're creating the circular argument. If you have a theory of your own, please present it. Also, this has nothing to do with our climate. What you're claiming is that if a gluon and how it behaves is hypothetical, then how can we program a computer which is also science. How could we possibly communicate using satellites which is also based on science which is falsifiable.
It seems ITN that you accept science that you use while rejecting science that you have no use for. At the end of the day all this makes you is a hypocrite.

Irrelevant. The use of the phrase itself the fallacy (redefinition fallacy (literal<->proof).
I don't know what you're saying as you use a private language you refuse to define. I tried looking up "redefinition fallacy" and the popular definitions wouldn't make sense here. I encourage you to put a glossary together for you personal definitions where they depart from what is popular. As it is I simply don't know what you are saying.

What do you mean by unambiguous? How is my definition "open to more than one interpretation" by me?

This was an attempt to define 'global warming'.
From when to when? What makes these two points in time significant? What makes any other two points in time not significant?
It is not possible to measure the temperature of the Earth. How are you getting any reading over any two points in time? You cannot define 'global warming' as 'global warming'. The phrase remains undefined. You cannot define any word or phrase with itself.
So it's annual as I said, because Earth has an annual cycle of seasons. You provide no argument as to how I have defined global warming as global warming. I don't see what you mean. Whether or not it's possible in anyone's view to successfully get the information needed to analyze something does not prevent it from being defined as a subject matter. You an I don't agree as the whether we can measure the Earth's temperature but that is a separate question from whether or not "The Earth's temperature" can be defined unambiguously.

No a temperature measurement is a single value. It is a measurement of matter that has a range of temperatures. For example: A doctor puts a thermometer under your tounge and determines the temperature of the skin cells there that make contact with the probe. He doesn't care about your tongue really, more about your internal organs, but as the two correlate he's able to use this measurement to get a sense of it your range of temperatures throughout your body are normal.

You might say it's not possible to know anything about the temperature of a human body. But this would be one reason it's good you're not a doctor.

Absolutely not. It is a measure of temperature of the matter at one dimensionless point.

So your example is dismissed. The temperature is of that point of the tongue and only that point of the tonge, regardless of what the doctor may be trying to ascertain.

You should try to keep living things out of your examples; they don't work out well.

Thank you. We have arrived at the end of this discussion. Yes, doctors might be able to deduce information that is something other than some organ's temperature or the body's temperature.

The only temperature the doctor knows is the temperature of that point of the tongue. The doctor's speculation about the rest of the body is not knowledge thereof ... it is speculation which could very well be greatly mistaken.

tmiddles wrote: What about a motherboard ascertaining a cpu's temp?

This is an entirely different case.

1. It is not a iving thing
2. It is essentially an area and not a volume
3. It is a very, very small one at that

The temperature on one point of a chip won't differ much from the temperature on another point of the same chip.

That statistical math that you don't want to touch covers the concept of standard deviation which, if you were to master it, would go a long way to nipping a lot of your questions in the bud.

tmiddles wrote: Or how about you give an example of useful temperature measurement.

The temperature of a CPU on a motherboard.

The temperature in the center of a pot roast is useful.

Why have you shifted goalposts from pretending to be omniscient about temperatures to pretending you are talking about "usefulness" of specific measures? I hope you didn't think I wouldn't notice.

1.- A CPU is dynamic with it's activity correlating to it's temperature, that activity modulating. So how is it any different than a living thing? Or a Climate?

2.- "differ much". Could you give a definition of "much" that is not ambiguous? Isn't that entirely based on what you, the measurer, want? The margin that is acceptable to you?

I think you're basically saying "This works for my purposes". A doctor would say the same about a thermometer under the tongue.

Yet that doesn't make the list with pot roast and CPU?

Also the center of the pot roast is only one small area (you might say dimensionless point) so how, presuming that we are concerned with the temp being high enough to kill bacteria, can you be confident that the temp in other areas is high enough? Why does that work for you? Also what range of temperature would the post roast (that object, that body) have?

I'll tell you one thing about pot roasts: They can be delicious and a satisfying meal. Just try to put a dimensionless point of pot roast on someones plate.

You and ITN constantly assert that various attempts to ascertain temperature have no value.

With the flu pandemic issue doctors taking temperatures of patience being useful is certainly a relatable example.

It is one thing for say, a Christian to simply say he believes in Jesus Christ, and that He is who He says He is (namely, the Son of God).

It is quite another to attempt to prove it.

It is one thing to say you believe there is no god or gods.

It is quite another to attempt to prove it.

It is one thing to say you believe in 'global warming' (whatever that definition turns out to be!).

It is quite another to attempt to prove it.

The circular argument in and of itself is not a fallacy. Attempting to prove one or conduct a proof using one is the fallacy.

I think you're basically saying "This works for my purposes". A doctor would say the same about a thermometer under the tongue.

Yet that doesn't make the list with pot roast and CPU?

Also the center of the pot roast is only one small area (you might say dimensionless point) so how, presuming that we are concerned with the temp being high enough to kill bacteria, can you be confident that the temp in other areas is high enough? Why does that work for you? Also what range of temperature would the post roast (that object, that body) have?

I'll tell you one thing about pot roasts: They can be delicious and a satisfying meal. Just try to put a dimensionless point of pot roast on someones plate.

But you all ran away:

Eventually zero.

By the way, instead of writing "range of temperatures" (plural) you wrote "range of temperature" (singular). I'm just curious, is this because you still believe that a temperature is somehow not a dimensionless numerical value but rather is, in fact, a "range"?

This is a manufactured conclusion on your part not supported by anything. You have dodged the question of if doctors are able to determine a human's temperature with any use-able accuracy.

A Cpu is performing work that is not factored in to evaluating it's temperature so that is an unknown from a measurement perspective.

A pot roast, steaming, dripping fat, as it is subjected to an external heat source, also has plenty of unknowns.

IF it were too difficult to measure the temperature of living things that would be well documented as it's such a critical part of modern life.

Now that you have denied another one of your own arguments, what does any of this have to do with the temperature of the Earth (or Denver, or Venus, or Mars, or the Moon)?

How is it that you can know the temperature of a pot roast to a useful degree, but you can't know the temperature of Earth to a useful degree?

This is where your illiteracy in mathematics get you into trouble.

You are refusing to accept that doctors, in the cases you identify, are not measuring the patient's temperature but are speculating, and mileage varies between patients for which doctors cannot account. Doctors take a temperature under the tongue for its convenience and quickness, not because of accuracy, and it is only considered a wag for other parts of the body and is not a substitue for anything going into a diagnosis.

How do you not know this? How do you not know the difference between "useful" and "known"?

There's only one unknown of consequence, i.e. the temperature at the center. We know the temperature at the surface.

In fact, this is a direct parallel to your argument about thermal energy flowing from cooler to warmer. You might as well claim that the moment the cold pot roast is put into the pre-heated oven that the outer surface is being cooked/heated in part by the hot oven and in part by the cool center.

This curiosity on your part should be causing you to reevaluate your whole thermal energy "net flow" argument if it is actually genuine.

If you know a pot roast's outer surface temperature and you know the temperature at the center, yes, you can estimate the temperature for any point in the pot roast to within an acceptable margin of error.

A question for you!

Determining temperature must always include calculation or at least assumption. Whether it's a block of steel on a hot plate in the lab, the ground level of Venus, a pot roast or a human being, there will always be a range of temperature readings you could obtain depending on where and when you collect them. To claim this fact makes a temperature unknowable it to disqualify all knowledge of the temperature of anything.

Now it's your turn.

You are totally mistaken on everything you wrote.

A temperature measurement is instantaneous and is for a dimensionless point. It is not a calculation.

If you wish to claim a temperature for a volume you must define the volume and specify the target margin of error. You must then provide a valid dataset that supports a temperature value within the stated target margin of error.

For a pot roast at any given time, a valid datset would include the shape/dimensions of the pot roast, the pot roast's coefficient of heat transfer, the oven's fixed temperature and the pot roast's center temperature.

Achieving almost any non-zero margin of error would be a simple matter of doing the math, i.e. integrate the temperature calculation function (which can be derived from the conduction equation with the known coefficient of heat transfer) over the volume of the roast based on the center temperature.

Nice very clear! So to check a few points:

1 - The Pot Roast will have different temperatures at different points. There is a "range" of temperatures based on location.

2 - There is a margin of error in measuring which is basically how wrong you might be about the true temperature.

The temperature function has a range of values corresponding to a domain of points. No dimensionless point in the pot roast has a range of temperatures, i.e. no temperature is a range.

tmiddles wrote: 2 - There is a margin of error in measuring which is basically how wrong you might be about the true temperature.

"Margin of error" does not apply to measurements; it applies to statistical calculations. What does apply to the pot roast temperature measurements is the tolerance of the sensor (thermometer) which will tell you how much any given measurement could be "off."

However, you are correct that "margin of error" does come into play when calculating the overall average temperature because there is error that is induced by inaccuracies and differenes in the pot roast's coefficient of heat transfer which are themselves integrated as well ... and that must be factored into the overall margin of error. So yes, exactly.

Yes, but we have a minimum volume for which we can measure a temperature. We cannot peer into a molecule to see its temperature. If we have a traditional thermometer then we cannot get smaller than the bulb on the thermometer and this is forthwith accounted in the thermomter's tolerance rating.

Science models restrict the effects on the thermometer to thermal energy causes. Ergo, measuring the temperature of the soup by inserting the thermometer is a direct measure of the soup, not a proxy measure.

As long as you are grouping ALL of those particular molecules under the umbrella label of "the soup" then it is a direct measure of the soup.
