Philosophy ILP style

Science is a bitch.
For thousands of years, except for nay sayers like Aristarchus and Copurnicus (who may well have read Aristacrchus in Padua), everyone solipsistically thought that the earth was the centre of the universe and that the sun and planets circled the earth.
Then there was irrefutable evidence that this was not the case.
People had to just accept that as true, just like people accept that the earth is not flat or hollow or there are fairies at the bottom of the garden.
Sometimes science seems to fly against common sense. Bad luck if you can’t deal with it.
But when the emprical evidence matches the theory it’s only idiots who try to peddle their own BS against the facts.
Time Dilation is a fact and there is nothing you can do about it except just accept it as a fact.
It’s not even complicated; it is proven, just like apples fall off of trees, when you go very fast time slows down.
Get over it!
And stop making a damn fool of yourself.

But this is not new. It was proven as long ago as 1971 by flying planes in opposite directions.

ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION!

Yes, seeking attention is pretty much all that you do.

Talking to yourself again?

Which one of the three Stooges was it?

Thanks for the nod to good old Aristarchus! =D>

Hmm, I talk to other people here, not to myself. Though God knows doing so is generally a giant waste of time.

when you go very fast time slows down.

Slow is 10 feet per second
Fast is 10,000 feet per second
Very fast is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 feet per second

You see the pattern? The faster you go the more distance you travel in 1 second.

You are so far up Einstein’s butt you can’t see the light.

Your “science” is religion. You have FAITH in something some guy said 100 years ago, and you don’t comprehend it.

He died for YOUR sins.

Please show where NASA made a mistake.

Sigh…

If NASA wrote that, then it erred. Mostly likely a copy-editing error.

@Sculptor

Fuck off iambiguous.
Nasa did not make the mistake - you did.

Prompting me yet again to bring it back to this:

And, come on, admit it, the only reason you responded at all here is so that you can – yet again! – call something that one of us posted “rubbish”.

My best guess:

Something or someone in your life must have really pissed you off. You can’t do anything about that so you come into venues like this one and take it out on all the rest of us. Mostly in regard to God and religion but it can really be about anything at all.

Right?

That’s what most interests me about you. Not what you post but why you seem compelled to treat others who don’t share your own fulminating fanatic dogmas with such contempt. Sure, I feel much the same incredulous bewilderment about those like, say, FreeSpirit1983. How on earth did they manage to think themselves into believing such…nonsense?

But that’s my “thing” here. Exploring not what they believe about God and religion and Saints and Hell, but how existentially they came to believe it given the manner in which I construe the meaning of dasein.

Now, please, by all means, fuck off yourself!

Seriously though, I try to imagine what it must be like actually being you. What on earth happened that prompts you to feel compelled to [at times] viciously attack all those who refuse to toe your line.

Call it, say, the PolishYouth Syndrome. Or, from time to time the pood Syndrome. By way of Satyr? Or Wendy Darling?

Now, sure, if the discussion here were about some political issue, I can well understand outrage at those who are “one of them”. After all, with political issues there are actual consequences that sustain actual pain and suffering for any number of people.

But a discussion of light years and time and distance?!!

Nope, that indicates to me that I’ve become a “personal problem” for you. And you’ll either go there or you won’t.

Jesus might love you, but I don’t!

So he prepaid for everyone’s sins? Oh goody goody, now the people can sin all they want, and the sins are already paid for! Yea!!!

I can’t wait for Santa to bring me my gifts, since my sins are already paid for and forgiven!!

Okay but you skipped this part:

Now, unlike James S. Saint and his wannabe ilk here today, I am not personally an expert on such things as time and distance and light years. So I don’t know if the individual who wrote the article above made a mistake or not.

I’m sure that nasa has a website. Go there and contact someone who might finally set the record straight once and for all.

I say “might” however because even in regard to light years and time and distance, “the gap” is no less applicable.

Even the greatest minds in the astrophysicists world are still confronted with Rummy’s Rule:

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know.

In other words, not all of them are as arrogant as you and sculptor and motor daddy and obsrvr524 in propagating your fulminating fanatic assertions.

Anyone who calls themselves lord, isn’t a lord.

Can you understand that?

But you haven’t even attempted to note all the fallacies and mistakes in logic I made in my reaction to your accusations above.

Well, to the best of my knowledge.

So, any possible fallacies and mistakes in logic here?

Or doesn’t blind faith count.

[pood]

I suspect Phylio is being sarcastic, but at this board, who knows?

[phyllo]

How can we know? The gap is no less applicable.

I know.

Fulminating fanatic assertions.

Then there’s the gap between what he thinks is a clever post and all that we would need to know about a clever post going back to all that we would need to know about existence itself.

Oh, and there’s still this:

Don’t force me to use the “C” word here.

My reply:

That’s a tough one. I can destroy ILPers in debate, but because I have a conscience, I consider how to defend them in trial from being sent to Severe hell realms.

Consider me the defense and prosecution.

My defense is not that I’m wrong, I’m not. My defense is that you don’t understand. I’m literally pleading insanity for all of you.

I divided 1 whole stack into exactly 3 stacks - why are you talking about eggs?

No you did not, you divided 1 whole stack into 3 pieces, each .333… of a stack. A stack goes from floor to ceiling. How can you divide 1 stack into 3 pieces and have 3 pieces that go from floor to ceiling???

So what do you call it when it doesn’t go to the ceiling?
