Creationism is a mental illness (Page 272) BelgianStrider: "Quantum: Einstein, Bohr, and the Great Debate About the Nature of Reality is a science history book written by Manjit Kumar. It was released on October 16, 2008. Overview He describes Einstein, Bohr and the "Great Debate about the Nature of Reality" that played out over a number of years, particularly at the Fifth Solvay International Conference on electrons and photons in 1927, where the physicists met to discuss the then newly formulated quantum theory. It narrates the life of some eminent physicists and their work and also gives a view of the environment of science at that time. It tells the life stories of Bohr, Einstein, Planck, Rutherford, Schrödinger, and others." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_(book) Ooooops it is a history book with QM as subject. "It tells the life stories of different famous names in that field". Yeah: we even can say from the data found about that book: that the quotation is beyond reasonable doubt taken out of its context !!!! It might have some significance in "history": nothing to do with actual QM axocanth: The history of QM will perhaps relieve you of your infant-like naivete. What people SAID (e.g. the authority of Niels Bohr) very much determined which theories or which interpretations were countenanced and which were silenced. BelgianStrider: why do you need a PHYLOSOPHICAL PRESENTATION OF QM? CAN YOU TELL ME HOW COME WE HAVE LAWS WITHOUT ANY THEORY?????? BelgianStrider: WHERE THE HELL IS ANY PHYLOSOPHICAL PRESENTATION OF THE GRAVITATIONAL LAW ??????? (there is only one btw) axocanth: Dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is a flourishing discipline of philosophy of physics. Perhaps you've been too busy with Goldilocks and the Three Bears? BelgianStrider: History CAN teach you ! BUT NOT everything. Science can EXPLAIN things, BUT NOT EVERYTHING axocanth: Are you SERIOUSLY telling us science can't explain EVERYTHING? And I thought Corwin was the only deep thinker around here. BelgianStrider: YOU ARE JUST AN EGOCENTRIC IDIOT pretending knowing things, but factually you are a zero in science and maths !!!!! axocanth: We always seem to return to those pieces of paper that you and Corwin so ostentatiously flaunt. Somehow, the refutations of your simpleminded fairytales never seem to be addressed, though. BelgianStrider: YEAH EVERY ONE KNOWS IT. THERE ARE STILL MANY "I DON'T KNOW" CAN YOU TELL BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT "THE ORIGIN OF LIFE" ???????? I DON'T THINK SO DUDE (Edited by BelgianStrider) BelgianStrider: BECAUSE IT IS A SCIENTIFICAL FIELD DUDE !!!!!! OUTSIDE ToE. AGAIN A CLEAR EVIDENCE YOU ARE JUST A BRABLING IDIOT axocanth: AGAIN A CLEAR EVIDENCE YOU ARE JUST A BRABLING IDIOT I'm not sure what brabling means but can I assume it's bad news? The answer is Glasgow Celtic, by the way (1967). Your trivia question? I haven't the foggiest. BelgianStrider: oh yeah changing of topic so you can avoid the question, a tactic that I caught you also on that BelgianStrider: well dear sir can you give any scientifical answer about the "origin of life on Earth" Can you mention any great scientist possessing the answer beyond reasonable doubt for that question? If not then you have a clear case that science has no "answers" on everything !!!!! Spoiler alert: There is actually no answer on that question !!!! Again a clearr evidence you have no clue at all what you are "brabling" about.... even if it is not English the meaning of it can be guessed !!!! BelgianStrider: I am done with you: go play around with your anti-scientific propaganda (Edited by BelgianStrider) axocanth: "Yeah: we even can say from the data found about that book: that the quotation is beyond reasonable doubt taken out of its context !!!!" - Belgian Yes, it seems I was born with a Cassandra-like curse or something. Every quotation I post, no matter how meticulously referenced, is invariably dismissed as being either "cherry picked" or else taken out of context. I daresay I could post the entire book and it would still be dismissed as being cherry picked and out of context. I daresay I could post his complete works and the same thing would happen. Just damn bad luck, I tell ya. It never happens to you guys though. Some folks have all the luck, eh? axocanth: As for my "anti-science propaganda", this is a constant source of bafflement too. You guys come here, describe some fairy tale bearing precious little resemblance to reality, indeed that you'd have difficulty convincing a child of, to a rapturous applause. I actually look to what scientists THEMSELVES say on these matters and present their views for examination. One might even be forgiven for thinking that you choose fantasy over reality. Come to think of it, that doesn't seem like such a bad idea right now. May I borrow your "Richard Dawkins and the Seven Dwarves" when you're through with it, please? | Science Chat Room 3 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
