keepit ★★★★★ (3088)	Your question about a particle with similar behavior is interesting. My question would be, "How similar"? "Fairly" similar might very well be considered the same particle by the LHC.

keepit ★★★★★ (3088)	IBDM and ITN, I just read Wiki's account of Karl Popper. Sounds like an ambitious intellect. Most of what was posted was too vague for me but one thing did catch my mind. He said he didn't know if there was a God. Fortunately i do know there is a God. The Holy Spirit visited me about 40 years ago and healed my sick and damaged soul. It was a spiritual experience, not a physical one. And not reproducible by anything on earth. I'm nothing special, i guess God figured i needed the proof. Thank God. I am interested in phenomenology though. Anyway, you both sound like Karl Popper. I don't say that i a derogatory way. It's just that i don't get it.

Most of what was posted was too vague for me but one thing did catch my mind. He wandered across several subjects, but he also noted that no amount of supporting evidence could prove a theory True. keepit wrote: He said he didn't know if there was a God. A fair statement, since it is not possible to prove whether there is any god or gods, just as it is not possible to prove there is no god or gods. keepit wrote: Fortunately i do know there is a God. The Holy Spirit visited me about 40 years ago and healed my sick and damaged soul. It was a spiritual experience, not a physical one. And not reproducible by anything on earth. I'm nothing special, i guess God figured i needed the proof. Thank God. And that's fine, so long as you recognize the circular nature of the argument (which is not a fallacy by the way). keepit wrote: I am interested in phenomenology though. Phenomenology is that branch of philosophy that deals exclusively with our perception of the world. It defines what 'real' and 'reality' actually mean. Imagine, if you will, that you have a functioning brain in a jar, hooked up to a computer simulation to provide it with all the senses of an artificial world in the computer (aka, The Matrix). How would such a brain know what was real? How would it know what is reality? It knows only what it experiences. To that brain, that IS reality. That IS real. That IS the knowledge it has. Now imagine, if you will, a group of people observing a sunrise. To one, they see a god rising into the sky. To another, they see a chariot, driven by a god, rising into the sky. To another, they see essentially a hot coal circling the Earth. To another, they see the rotation of the Earth giving the appearance of the stationary Sun rising into the sky, and the Earth orbits the Sun. To another, they see that neither the Earth nor the Sun are stationary, and that they orbit each other. To another, they simply see the artistic beauty of the sunrise and accept it at that. Six different people, six wildly different interpretations of the same event as their reality. This is what phenomenology is all about. 'Real' is literally what we say it is, according to the model of the universe we already carry around, each and every one of us. That model is as unique to each of us as a fingerprint. It is made up of the experiences we each have, and includes any theories formed from those experiences whether they are scientific ones or not. So as a result an observation is not a proof. It is simply evidence. This is true even if the observation is augmented by instrumentation. keepit wrote: Anyway, you both sound like Karl Popper. I don't say that i a derogatory way. It's just that i don't get it. Karl Popper understood phenomenology. Indeed, he was the one that first made the 'Matrix' type argument (which inspired the movie and comic book series). His reasoning suggests that it is not possible to have an absolute knowledge, since we don't even know if we are a brain in a jar. However, there is such a thing as knowledge. It is made up of our experiences, including any theories we form from them. This puts science in an awkward position. It puts religion in the same awkward position. Since there is no absolute knowledge, how is one to tell the difference? How do we know if there is enough supporting evidence to consider a theory 'science'? Again, Popper suggests a way. He understood that no one owns science. No elite group of people vote for any theory of science that somehow make it a theory of science (as opposed to a nonscientific theory). It was Karl Popper that first brought about the idea of falsifiability to determine if a theory can be part of the body of science, or if the theory is actually religious in nature (not falsifiable). The idea is to look for exceptions to a theory that would show the theory itself to be wrong. In other words, science only looks for conflicting evidence, not supporting evidence at all. If you look at the history of science, you will see that every time a theory was discarded, it was because someone found something wrong with it. Galileo, for example, caused the theory that everything orbited a stationary Earth to be discarded by observing moons orbiting Jupiter with a telescope. It showed that Jupiter was the center of it's moons, and not the Earth. There was also the theory of the aether, some kind of mysterious substance or medium for light to wave in (since light was a wave). An experiment was conceived to try to measure the thickness of this medium. Eloquently designed, the experiment was designed to measure how the speed of light changes as it moved through the aether in different directions, as Earth moved through space (and the aether). This experiment falsified the entire theory of the aether, for it showed that the speed of light does not change depending on the direction you are moving through it. There is no medium to find. Light does not require one! This grand failure of an experiment was called the Michaelson-Morley experiment. Now scientists all over the world had to deal with that fact. They had simply assumed the aether was there, and now it suddenly isn't! For them, it's like the universe changed. New theories happen all the time. Anything can inspire a new theory. They all begin as circular arguments, or arguments of faith. It is the test of falsifiability that takes a theory beyond the simple circular argument. As long as a theory is falsifiable, yet continues to survive tests designed to destroy it, the theory is automatically a part of science. No elite voting group. No peer review. No consensus. No blessing by a university or a government. No fixed method or procedure. No central authority of any kind. No anything. The theory of science simply stands on it's own. It will continue to do so until it is falsified by a test designed to destroy it (the test is successful). This also means that no supporting evidence is needed or used. Do nonscientific theories exist? Sure. Lots of them. They are not falsifiable, however, so they are not part of the body of science. They simply remain the circular arguments they started out as. They simply remain arguments of faith. A theory is an explanatory argument. It must therefore be a valid argument. It must be free of any fallacy. This test is known as the internal consistency check, and all theories, whether scientific or otherwise, must pass it. A theory of science has an additional test to pass. No theory of science can conflict with any other theory of science, for to do so, one or both theories would have to be falsified (one would tend to falsify the other). This is known as the external consistency check. Nonscientific theories do not have to worry about this check, but theories of science must pass this test as well. After that. It's a game of trying to break the theory by creating tests designed to destroy it, and having test after test fail (the theory survives the attempt). The tests must test the theory itself, not some other theory. They must be specific, definable, and able to be conducted. They must produce a specific result (or there is no result). This means the tests are always about something quantifiable. Thus, the theory itself is about something quantifiable. That is why we can represent them using math formulas. Thus, science is not scientists. It is not a science organization, university, or government agency. It is not even people at all. Science is just the falsifiable theories themselves. Can science prove whether there is a god or gods, or prove whether no god or gods exist? No. These are not testable or provable. Science simply doesn't go there. Science is agnostic. It cares not whether any god or gods exist or do not exist. Some great theories have come out of men that are Christians, atheists, Muslim, Shinto, or Hindi. They are all theories of science. They have not yet been falsified. Science simply doesn't care where a theory comes from, so long as it is falsifiable, and passes the internal and external consistency checks.

keepit ★★★★★ (3088)	IBDM, Thanks for your reply. To answer, no, there were no church members or anyone i knew that had had that experience. I did know of such a thing though. It's kind of like this, suppose there was a wall in you house that noone had access to. No physical matter had access either. Then imagine yourself as the wall. And you experience the Holy Spirit come along and write "Hello" on the wall. Keep in mind that physical matter has no access to this wall. The wall and the hello are proof because the wall and the hello are there, indelibly. There were no actual words in the experience. Anyhow, that is one way to explain it. Really though, there are no words to explain it.

How does a human body maintain temperature? What's an example of an experiment or research you consider useable?

How does a human body maintain temperature? What's an example of an experiment or research you consider useable? Repetitious questions that have already been answered.

keepit ★★★★★ (3088)	"You do not get to speak for the board". That reminds me of Ronald Reagan speaking to Berkeley students before he became president. The students said something about something they didn't like and Reagan responded, "the people of california don't agree with you." The student shouted back, "we are the people of California!!!". It was awesome. I wasn't there but i loved it. The first thing reagan did after becoming president was to fire all the air traffic controllers over a threatened strike. I didn't love that though. It was a good thing there wasn't a midair crash during the training time for the new controllers

It was a good thing there wasn't a midair crash during the training time for the new controllers Actually he fired them because they struck. Pilots can actually fly planes quite well without ATC, and military ATC covered most of the positions in the meantime. No retraining was required. The civilian controllers were the same ones that worked those towers and stations before. The only difference is that they were no longer unionized.

keepit ★★★★★ (3088)	ITN, My best friend at that time was an air traffic controller (LA approach control) and he gave me a lot of the scoop. They were so desperate for controllers that they tried to hire him back from retirement. His was a great story but i won't bore you with it. The point is, they were desperate for controllers and with desperate hiring came a slowdown in the flow of air traffic and inefficiency. Much waste and excess CO2 although no one was thinking about that at that time as far as i knew. Someone was though.

That is one hellatious bit of airspace. keepit wrote: The point is, they were desperate for controllers and with desperate hiring came a slowdown in the flow of air traffic and inefficiency. Yes. SOCAL and a few other crowded centers were short of controllers. The rest of the nation was able to cope quite well (including Seattle Center) by using scabs and military controllers. keepit wrote: Much waste and excess CO2 although no one was thinking about that at that time as far as i knew. Someone was though. Actually, not a lot. Airlines flying into such areas didn't fly those routes. I am a pilot, mechanic, and I also design and build aircraft as a hobby. I was flying at the time of the air controller strike. Most places did quite well, even the airlines, SOCAL was an exception, along with a few other busy areas.

keepit ★★★★★ (3088)	SOCAL and few others in total equals a good chunk of US air traffic. If a good chunk is slowed down in the number of arrivals and the other "half" is putting out their usual number of departures, where are those excess flights landing. If they're still up there, they must be running lout of fuel!!!

They are not putting out departures. You may have forgotten what happened. keepit wrote: If they're still up there, they must be running lout of fuel!!! They aren't up there. Air traffic into congested areas was metered. No one took off until their meter allocation slot was available.
