GasGuzzler wrote:Into the Night wrote: Not a problem. Settle in, this kind of long. First a few definitions, as provided by logic: An argument is a set of predicates and a conclusion. A predicate is simply an assumed conditional. It is actually a fact, which is nothing more than an assumed predicate. We simply assume a predicate to be True for the purposes of the argument. A predicate itself can be the result of a different argument, of course. A theory is an explanatory argument. Each theory can come from anywhere, or be inspired by anything. The moment the explanatory argument is made, it is automatically a theory. The argument must of course be a valid one. Fallacies cannot become a theory since they are not a valid argument to begin with. A theory of science is one that is falsifiable. That is the only requirement. For a theory to be falsifiable, a test must be available to try to destroy that theory. This test is applied to the Null Hypothesis of a theory. That hypothesis asks the question, "How can I try to show this theory to be False?". You can think of a hypothesis as a 'use case' for a theory. Hypothesis come from existing theories, not the other way around. That test is the key. The test must be available, it must be practical to conduct, it must be specific, and it must produce a specific result. Only tests against the Null Hypothesis make any difference. Science does not use supporting evidence at all. All tests, experiments, etc. are there to try to BREAK the theory, not support it. The theory already has support: itself. Now we get to a bit of a difference on how I see things as opposed to IBdaMann, but we both get to the same place in the end. Science is an open functional system. That means any explanatory argument that is falsifiable can be a theory of science. There are literally no limits other than that. Just explaining things isn't good enough. Open functional systems have no power of prediction, and we want the power of prediction to make the theory useful. Thus, a theory must be transposed into a closed functional system, such as mathematics. Mathematics is such a system because the entire thing is based on a simple set of axioms and proofs that extend those axioms. Those axioms act like the 'rules of the game'. Mathematics cannot break the rules of the game, or you are playing a different game! A closed functional system has the power of the formal proof. With that power comes the power of prediction. Example: if a=b+c, and b is 7, and a is 12, we can predict what b is. This is the inherent power of prediction in mathematics. It applies to all of mathematics except through the inverse of the modulus function, which is where random numbers come from and where our modern cryptography come from. To gain the power of prediction, then, a theory must be transposed into mathematical form (or to that other closed system, logic, which also uses a 'mathematical' like form). The resulting equation is called a Law. Thus, we can explain the effect of gravity and the parabolic nature of a thrown object on Earth, but we cannot predict it. To predict it, we transpose the theory to F=mA. This is Newton's law of motion. All three 'laws of motion' that you were taught in school stem from this equation. It is actually just a single law, used three different ways. This law states that: Force is equal to mass times acceleration. Like the great works of Michelangelo, and the great literary works of Shakespeare, and the great music produced by Bash and Beethoven, this equation stands as a great work in science itself, for what Newton did by producing this theory and equation was to focus our attention on what 'force' is, what 'mass' is, and what 'acceleration' is. It focused science on having to answer for some very key things. Thus: * a theory comes from anywhere. It's an explanatory argument. * a theory of science is nothing more than a falsifiable theory, on other words one that can be tested against it's null hypothesis. * a theory by itself does not predict, it only explains, and therefore does not have the power of prediction. * a theory transcribed into mathematical form creates an equation, called a 'Law'. Note that a theory is never proven True. No theory EVER is proven True, whether a scientific one or a non-scientific one. Theories of science, however, can be shown to be False. That is the test of falsifiability. Also note that non-scientific theories (ones that have no test of falsifiability), can never be proven True nor False. The theory exists, as a circular argument; forever. It may be True, it may be False; but we will never be able to show which. Theories of this sort include the Theory of Creation (an explanatory argument on how life appeared on Earth) or the Theory of Abiogenesis (another explanatory argument on how life appeared on Earth). We know that these two theories conflict with each other, at least one of them MUST be False. But we can't test their null hypothesis. We can't go back in time to see what actually happened. BOTH theories remain non-scientific theories. They cannot be formalized into mathematics either, since neither are quantifiable. Neither is a True nor a False, so they can't be formalized into logic either. Neither of these theories have the power of prediction available to them, and neither of these theories have a Law associated with them. Hope that helps.

@tmiddles, with the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, they ignore the variable for the atmosphere. Put some hot coffee in a vacuum type thermos. The vacuum around what the coffee is in slows the heat transfer because of a lack of molecules. If the Earth were surrounded by a vacuum like the tropopause or the mesopause, same thing. But fortunately we know that no such barriers exist. It goes against common sense. |

GasGuzzler wrote:I guess where I'm hung up in this... I'd like to add something on this point into which I did not delve in my previous post: Science is based around the word "false," not around the word "true." A science model is, of course, a predicate believed to be true by its author but belief in its truth/veracity is not assumed beyond that. For this reason the model's falsifiability is mandated to be explicitly stated so that any who want to show the model to be false know exactly how to do so, provided that the model is, in fact, false. To this end, the scientific method is entirely about showing models to be false. There is nothing in the scientific method to "confirm" any model as "true" for the reasons I stated in my previous post. The scientific method takes as input a falsifiable model, latches onto its falsifiability and systematically attempts to prove it false. If a model is not proven false today, then the scientific method engages in the next steps to prove it false tomorrow, and then the next steps, and then more steps ... like the Terminator systematically trying non-stop to kill Sarah Connor. Oh, and that's the definition of an "experiment" by the way, i.e. a test designed to prove a science model false. That's why all experiments are required to start with an hypothesis, i.e. a statement that if it doesn't hold then the model is false. I don't think i can [define it].

The rules of mathematics do not extend outside the founding axioms of that system. That's why it is a closed functional system. Where the lie comes in is the assigning of numbers to meaning. Numbers by themselves have no meaning beyond a simple count. What a theory of science does is create an equation that carries a meaning beyond the simple numbers. GasGuzzler wrote: Because the theory itself is nothing more than an explanatory argument, thought up by someone to explain what they see or experience. A theory about a temperature and how it behaves under certain conditions is about: * the temperature, a quantifiable value. * the condition (let's say pressure), that is also a quantifiable value. A theory relates these kinds of things together. It looks like it might be True, but it can never be proven True. There may be an exception we do not know about. That single exception would falsify and destroy the entire theory...utterly. GasGuzzler wrote: Sure. I mentioned earlier a relationship between temperature and pressure. It is noted that when you compress a gas, it's temperature goes up. When this kind of relationship is noted, someone will build a theory around it, such as building a model of atoms bouncing around like individual particles in an enclosed box, and describing what happens when you make the box smaller. The theory explains that when you compress a gas, it gets hotter. By itself, this doesn't predict anything. It only explains. It does not describe, for example, how much hotter the gas becomes, or how much you have to compress it. Is it linear? Do all gases behave this way? These are answered by supplemental theories such that all gases behave exactly the same way, since all gases are made up of atoms bouncing around in this box model. Now let's look at the quantifiable values with this model: First, temperature. But which scale? Fahrenheit is great for describing weather and our own body temperature, but lousy for cooking. Centigrade is a better scale for cooking (and chemistry!) but it doesn't really describe the total thermal energy in an atom or molecule. We want to discuss absolute values of temperature, so the Kelvin scale would be the best to use. Already, we are discussing quantifiable things, but now we are choosing a scale based on the needs of our model and theory. How do you describe compression of a gas? One way is to simply make the box smaller. That is, to reduce the volume of the box. That's a quantifiable value. The scale we will use will be the metric scale, in cubic meters (m^3). Can we use cubic inches? Sure. We can build a term in the equation that converts everything to our units of measurement. This kind term is a constant, sometimes called a natural constant, and it's purpose is to convert the equation to our units of measure. How many little bouncing atoms are in the box to begin with? If there are less of them, doesn't that affect the pressure in the box for a given volume? Sure it does. We can quantify how many little bouncing things are in the box by counting them or weighing them. If we weight them, we run into the problem that different atoms weigh differently, and gasses may be made of many different kinds of atoms. So counting them seems to be the best way. That's a quantifiable value. A common scale for this is the mole, a scale commonly used in chemistry. One mole of atoms is 6.022 * 10^23 atoms. This is also known as Avogadro's number. It is a simple count of atoms converted into a more convenient scale. We know that increasing pressure increase temperature. P=RT. In other words, as pressure increases, temperature increases by pressure times some constant (to convert things to our unit of measure). But there are other factors to consider. Volume is part of pressure, so we can put it on the left side of the equation like so: PV=RT. In other words, P*V is proportional to temperature. As pressure increases, so does temperature, but as volume decreases, so does pressure also increase. The more atoms (or molecules) in the box, the better. Thermal energy is the average kinetic energy in a molecule or atom, so we can put how many of them there are on the right side of the equation like so: PV=nRT. Now we have all the factors accounted for. Since this supposed to apply to all gases, we can call it the Ideal Gas Law. Now we have something we can predict with. It is an equation, and therefore a law of the theory. Now we have something we can test the theory against. That test can be specific and produce a specific result. We can look for exceptions that would falsify the theory or one of the supplemental theories. One supplemental theory says that this applies to all gases. We start measuring all different kinds of gases. They all behave according to this equation except for a very few that do behave sort of like the equation, but only if you change R. So the theory that all gases are ideal is falsified. There is something about some gases that is more elastic concerning the particles in the box. Could the shape be a factor? Unfortunately, the shape of a molecule is not a quantifiable value. The gas is not ideal, but it behaves almost as if it was, and for most practical purposes, the equation still holds true. So far, no gas has been found to blow up the equation entirely. The theory has not yet been falsified. The Ideal Gas Law is still a theory of science to this day. GasGuzzler wrote: Thanks for asking the question with an open mind. This is how we learn. My hat's off to you. Few people take the trouble to try to learn. This description of forming what is known as the Ideal Gas Law is somewhat brief out of necessity, being on a forum. Hopefully, it's clear enough to show how a theory can be constructed, its quantifiable nature identified, and the formalization process of that theory into a Law. It also hopefully shows, that the meaning of the numbers are important and what can be challenged. The numbers themselves are just simply meaningless numbers. It's the theory that gives these numbers meaning. Perhaps something will come along that destroys the theory, and the equation with it. The numbers remain. The math remains. What is destroyed is the equation, along with the theory, should such a falsification take place.

These essentially suck nearby air back down to the wing surface again, delaying the break away point that airflow leaves the top of the wing's surface. This makes the wing capable of slower flight, and make it more efficient at higher speeds.

Climate Change has a few of those as well, but they assign alternate meanings to words and phrases, which is confusing. Have to learn a new mean, for something that is used a totally different way, anywhere else. Then, you have to recognize the context in which it's used, and who you are speaking with. I'll probably not understand Greenhouse Effect, since it's not about heat, it's really more about cooling. Outside air doesn't get in or out, to take heat away from the interior, as quickly, if there were no walls at all. In the winter, it's cold, it's windy, but when you find any sort of shelter from the wind, you feel warmer, or actually less cold. Greenhouse only controls the movement of air. The air (gasses) aren't any warmer, than anything else inside the greenhouse. Forcing and Feedback are a little confusing as well, don't really agree with them, but sort of understand how they are using them. Man-made CO2, and natural CO2... There is really only one kind of CO2, and it's measured primarily near Hawaii. They get an estimate of man-made CO2, from what is produced, bought and sold, which really doesn't accurately measure how much is actually burned, how much is used for other things. Nature can produce a large quantity as well. Does humans exhaling count differently from the other animals, or do they mean man-burned CO2? Regardless, the total, is a very small, fractional percent of the atmosphere. Not a lot of monitoring stations, some located nearer to the sources of CO2 (pollution), like volcanoes, or power plants. Others are surrounded by vegetation, forests or fields, which use quite a bit, during the day. Even a CO2 monitor in a home, doesn't give a very stable reading, unless programmed to smooth it out a little, longer period between readings. |

HarveyH55 wrote:Walls (and greenhouses) work by reducing heat. You can do so by decoupling the hot and cold regions. This is what walls, insulation, blankets, coats, etc. actually do. The interior of a house is warmer because it has a furnace and the walls reduce heat. The interior of a greenhouse also reduces heat. It is warmer during the day because radiant heat from the sun is absorbed just like the outside (more or less), but convective heat does not occur to help cool the greenhouse. The roof is in the way. The usual convection of hot air that the surface creates is not available. Convective heat is not available to dissipate thermal energy across a wider area. The open atmosphere has no roof, nothing to reduce radiant heat from Earth. The only form of heat from Earth is radiant heat. There is conductive heat in space to speak of, and there is no convective heat in space to speak of. There is still radiant heat coming off the greenhouse. At night, of course, the greenhouse cools to nighttime temperatures just like the outside. This is why a fair number of greenhouses have heaters installed in them. HarveyH55 wrote: They don't exist. These 'forcings' and 'feedbacks' are an attempt to enhance their dire message. If you look at such arguments, they are said to be causing the temperature increase, because the temperature increase triggers the 'forcing' or 'feedback'. It's a circular argument fallacy. They are attempting to use a circular argument as a proof. HarveyH55 wrote: Well, there IS a station there, as to what is being measured there and reported...who knows? There are a few dozen stations scattered around the world, but Hawaii gets special treatment for some reason. These few dozen stations report different amounts of CO2 for readings taken at the same time. CO2 is not uniformly distributed in the atmosphere. The Mauna Loa station has been shown to be cooking their data. It is quite useless. You may recall awhile ago the eruption on the Big Island of a nearby volcano. This was a major eruption, spewing a LOT of CO2 into the atmosphere,right near the Mauna Loa station. We should have seen a HUGE spike in the data. There was NOTHING. The only way that can happen is that Mauna Loa station is cooking their data. Cooked data is not acceptable for use in statistical analysis. Only raw data can be used, and THAT must be available AND show that biasing influences on the collection methods have been removed. The charts you see posted by Church of Global Warming members are the Mauna Loa data, and exclude data from any other station taking readings at the same time. In other words, they are using a SINGLE station to represent global CO2 content, and that station's data is compromised. So we really have no idea what the global atmosphere CO2 content is, just as we have no idea what the temperature of Earth really is. We don't even have a clear idea if CO2 or temperature are going up, going down, or just staying the same. We DO know that Sun's output has been relatively constant. We DO know the distance from the Earth to the Sun and that it varies very little. Earth is in an almost circular orbit, becoming more circular as the years pass. All indications from these factors would indicate Earth's temperature is remaining the same. HarveyH55 wrote: More of a wild guess. There are no records world wide of how much CO2 is created by burning stuff. No one is counting or measuring CO2 from campfires, wildfires started by Man, etc. Industrial activity is rather impossible to measure as well. Sometimes a plant burns a lot of fuel, sometimes less, sometimes more. The industrial output of CO2 from a single plant varies hour by hour, day by day, according to the needs of the plant at the time. The Church of Global Warming wants to concentrate their blame on industrial activity because they stem from the Church of Karl Marx. They are Marxists trying to justify state control of industries. HarveyH55 wrote:That it can. A single lightning stroke can create huge wildfires, for example. That's thousands of acres of forest converted into smoke and other particulates, ash, and of course CO2. A single eruption from Mt Saint Helens put out more CO2 than the people of Seattle did since there WAS a city of Seattle (not counting their breathing). Oh...and Longview, WA and Yakima, WA did not see higher temperatures as a result of the eruption. They got a lot of ash and mud, but no higher temperatures. Yakima in particular got a lot of LOWER temperatures from the eruption effects, since the particulates were so thick they were blocking out much of the Sun. HarveyH55 wrote:They mean CO2 produced by our fires and industrial activity, particularly our industrial activity, since they are Marxists. HarveyH55 wrote: True.

The stall creates a vortex from the tips of the rotor producing a useless vortex and very little lift. It tends to happen when a rotorcraft descends straight down with too little power, then tries to stop the descent by adding power. The correct course of action is to get the bird moving FORWARD, thus dragging the now useless rotor out of the established ring. HarveyH55 wrote: It's the forward motion that's the key. Good reactions. It's a scary moment in any rotorcraft flight, even unmanned remote control quadcopters!. Some rotorcraft respond a bit better by sliding a bit to the LEFT as you go forward. The vortex ring tends to form from the RIGHT side first. This is because of the nature of the linkage at the rotorhead, causing a 90 degree delay in effect. Fortunately for you, quadcopters are rather immune to this problem. It can be a real BIG problem on autogyros, causing kind of a 'tuck under' under full power and steep climbs. The problem is made worse because the thrust point is below the main drag point (the rotor) and tends to increase the load on the blades. There is no getting out of it unless you cut power entirely, and nose it forcefully DOWN and forward. That takes guts at low altitude, and no mistake about it. Keep your craft moving forward, particularly when descending, and you will never have a problem with it again.

This makes the wing capable of slower flight, and make it more efficient at higher speeds. No. The SR-71 is a supersonic aircraft. Vortex generators won't survive supersonic speeds. Further, air is compressed by the aircraft at supersonic speeds, and vortex generators (even if they did survive!) would be quite useless. Any vortices would be disrupted by the compressed air. The SR-71 is not trying to be efficient. It is just trying to go as fast as a bat out of hell can. A radar invisible bat out of hell.

Mercury being much closer to the Sun. That's a very clear question. I have a better idea.
