It seems like scientists today refuse to admit that they are clueless about many things.
Most scientists in any age are opinionated hacks. There are more scientists now than ever before. It just means more hacks than ever.
I just knew that was what was going on
Exactly. Grant money! Now that’s a destiny worth fighting for!
What if you get the RESULT in step 2, and then fail to perform the action in step 3 that leads to that result?
I think the implication is that if you get that result in step 2 invariably somehow, some way, you or someone else will perform step 3 which causes the step 2 results.
A good way to think about it is that we simply do not have a sensory input to detect the passage of time the way we have eyes and ears to detect size, shape, depth and location of objects in space.
Our perception of time is just that - our perception.
Excellent. Of course our sensory input is similarly subjective. We measure time as the distance between two points. I had a prof who claimed that thinking about time for too long would render one insane.
He’s right. It’s like the old adage about the two dimensional beings trying to explain height. How could they? It’d be impossible for them to prove given the set of data they would have to work with.
