For the discussion of all things philosophical.

That is NOT My belief. Surely you understand that I neither believe nor disbelieve any thing. I have made this quite clear already, right? What I wrote above is My view, which could be partly wrong or completely wrong. In fact absolutely every thing I write is just a view, which could be right, wrong, or partly wrong.
Do I? How do I imply that?
Such "ideas" are NOT My own beliefs, so nothing else can be taken from that.
Did it ever occur to you to clarify, instead of just continually assuming?
In a sense that could be very well true.
WHAT exactly is like asking a person labeled "theist", and WHY is this like asking a person labeled "theist"?
Reaching mutual agreement is about one of the most simplest things in life to do. If a person wants to reach agreement is another matter.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2017 6:53 amIt doesn't matter how many times you answer him, you can go on forever giving clarifications until your blue in the face, and he'll still demand more clarifications and more answers from you. So good luck trying to reach any mutual agreement or conclusion about anything in this discussion.

No, we do not do that. We merely tell you, accurately, what our current best theories describe. Neither I nor uwot nor anyone else that I know of here has denied that theories can change. That is that is the whole point of science!
No one here has claimed to know "absolute answers.'I do this so that either they will come to realize that they in fact do not know the absolute answer or that in fact do know the answer and by clarifying enough times then they will eventually be able to demonstrate the absolute answer.
HA HA HA HA, you have repeatedly claimed to know the truth!I am NOT here to provide nor show answers. I am here to learn how to be able to express better the way in showing how others how they, themselves, can find the answers by themselves.
What was your answer?
So, you do KNOW the 'real truth of Life'. See, already knowing it is NOT hard at all.
We supposedly can not say for certain what cause of WHAT is?
We do NOT only have to guess at. We CAN also remain open and see It for what It really IS.
Perhaps a small minority of scientists and creationists behave as you imply buy they have very little to no effect on the rest of the professionals who are in the fields of endeavor.ken wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2017 10:19 pmIf you believe that ALL people labelled "creationists" and ALL people labelled "scientists" behave the way you say here, then you will be sadly mistaken.thedoc wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2017 6:47 pmNo, this is wrong, a Creationist tries to prove his predetermined set of values and beliefs no matter how much he has to distort the evidence or lie. Scientists set their own personal beliefs aside and looks at what the evidence tells them and draw conclusions from the evidence even if it contradicts what was believed before looking at the evidence. And if it does the Scientist will change beliefs according to the evidence. Quite different from a Creationist who will do or say anything rather than change beliefs according to the evidenceken wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2017 6:53 am By the way, people who call themselves "creationists" are just the same as the people who call themselves "scientists", in that they all have their own predetermined set of views and beliefs, which is what the actual things are that is stopping them all from seeing the actual and real truth of Life.
ALL human beings behave differently, depending on their thinking. ALL human beings have different thoughts. ALL people are different.
To the observer on Earth it will take 4 years, for the observer on the ship, it will depend on how fast they are traveling.
Where is this assumption coming from?davidm wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2017 8:19 pm Theories are not assumed or even believed to be true. They are held provisionally to be true, so long as they match (model, with predictions and retrodictions) the observed data -- which relativity theory does splendidly. No empirical refutation of special or general relatively has ever been spotted, while confirmatory data continues to pile up -- most recently the first direct observation of gravitational waves, a prediction of general relativity.
Buy of course you think you know more than me, uwot, thedoc -- to say nothing of Einstein himself!![]()
What is going on is the predictableness of outcomes.
I OBVIOUSLY have NOT been asking from any perspective.
Obviously I have NOT been asking FROM WHOSE PERSPECTIVE. Can you read the actual words I asked in that question? Is there any thing about any one or from any perspective in the question? The question was asked the way it was for the very reason that I am looking for the answer, NOT many differing answers.
WHY?
Why do you have a 'lesser than' or 'more than' attitude when it comes to having knowledge and knowing?
So, in the first sentence, where you said all people, you considered yourself excluded? Such a statement does not apply to you? If so, please explain why it applies to all people but not to you.
So, YOU have views, whereas other people have assumptions and beliefs that blind them and distort the actual truth? Why would you make this distinction?
See above.
I've just done that. It seemed so obvious from your words, I didn't think I was assuming.
So, when you say that people are not seeing the actual truth of life, that gives the impression that YOU DO see SUCH A DISTINCT THING (or why would you say it?). We're all here living out our vast and amazing collection of experiences. How many prophets, preachers, sages, gurus believe that they uniquely see some "important actual truth" that others don't? If the sacred flows through all -- which would make the most sense -- then it would appear to be sheer fantasy and ego that drives some to set themselves apart from the whole as unique seers.
It's not really about belief; it is a demonstrable fact, which has in fact been demonstrated...
...by Hafele-Keating, for example, and thousands of experiments since. It is true that no single person was a witness to all those experiments, and that therefore some degree of trust is required ('faith' is over-egging it). But the idea that everyone who claims to have found evidence that supports the theory of relativity are all deluded, or involved in a conspiracy, is barely conceivable, given the huge number of people involved.ken wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2017 6:00 amObviously to be so sure of this supposed "fact" you have first hand experience of being in both frames of reference, which would be the only true way of having such incredible knowledge of KNOWING 'that is how it is'. Otherwise your knowing here in regards to this is based solely on your faith and belief in 'what others say'.
You and Einstein then. That, in a nutshell, is the theory of relativity.
In which case, you are contradicting your own assertion above.
Because that is the hypothesis best supported by the overwhelming weight of evidence.
You could, but if you have the courage of your convictions, why not just say it?
Because they travel through time it is important to state that they do not actually experience timeken wrote:
If I recall correctly I asked you some thing similar to this before if photons do
not experience any thing anyway then why talk about photons not being able to experience time
