'+' , '-' in your world are 'functions'. Hmmm seems to me you reason through a sieve! Primarily ' +' is the act of adding. A function is a complex expression of several actions such as ^2XLog;base3 158743598734... and so on, when applied to values or implied values in equations. That Algebraic...

Hmmm I think you left something out of your expression. It is an unfinished static statement' -a*-b='. NOT '-a*-b', which is a complete dymnic expression. It assumes the observer already knows what '=' means, it assumes that we are talking about numbers, i.e. that with which we count things...

Reply to Dan "This is enough for your own purposes, which is to see why -a * -b is NOT -ab. I wouldn't call it a proof, because it is not really clear that -a * -b has to be only ab or -ab; also, the method of contradiction seems like overkill here. But it's fine if your intent is not to...

Here below is an exchange between me, the perplexed, and Dr Math. Read it, and please if you can show me why -a*-b MUST NOT equal ONLY either +ab or -ab. What else can -a*-b be equal to? >[Question] >Dear Dr Math I long ago wrote you asking how to prove the convention, >- * - = + and you...

Following this thread for a long time, I can't help but wonder how far into Philosophy people go before they realize or know what they are about. Next the enormous wealth of learning and talent of the posters amazes one such as I, indeed much of what passes as common knowledge here is way over...

No worry - all you need is the Ph D and off you trot! Jobs galore in the US for Ph D's. They won't look to hard at your resume but you had better be ready to teach! The first hurdle is realizing how stupid you are when compared to a 19 yr old with an IQ of 180, and then remembering all those...

Our nature determines how we interact with the Universe, because we are part of it. Then there's the fact that if every motion stopped, it - and us with it - would simply evaporate into nothing. For all practical purposes there is no real benefit in such things.

If we cannot trust the evidence then what is left to investigate?

Yes in a way that is what could be going on here; but, what should be taking front seat is the event itself. Perhaps the so called empty space is not as empty as we have been told, perhaps under different conditions / environments C is not @ 186k m/sec What I do notice here is that from...

"You simply lack the fundamental knowledge required to meaningfully assess what you are seeing." You are so into squiggle that you cannot correctly interpret the real world when it is staring right at you!

Since I made a mistake in it I removed the entry, but must clarify what I took notice of; Hubble object V838 images taken in May 2002 and again in Feb 2004 shows growth of 2-3 lightyears. However we are looking at some kind of gas of debris and it is highly unlikely that such a thing could...

Thanks for the critique! The word 'ether' is a better one to 'black light' which I have also heard about in this discussion. Nontheless, I do think that we shall find some thing in between light source and target that enables the effect. IOW I do not think light can propagate in absolute...

Vested interests always fear the truth, even here! Getting back to the question of the supposed 'constant' C, can we now again begin to think of experiments - isn't that what Science is supposed to do? - which explore other aspects of the illusion that we experience as light? For example...

Thank You Sorry to bring you back to this one ! I found the page with the links which I neglected to click on before because I did not notice it! However it does neatly tie in with some other things. Transcendental as I recall was used about things 'inducted' by limited information. A...

Sorry to be reviving this but can you explain exactly what you mean by 'trancendental''? Can you also give the source, and if possible a short summary of the proof in simple language? Thank You
