Physics news on Phys.org
Hmmm... would "miracle" count? If someone could explain what one is then it would be greatly appreciated.
 
What is a "question"?
 
Truth
Understanding
Reason
Experience
 
Thanks so much everyone! I've defined them all in less than three words. Please provide me with more.

Have you seen the "Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy"

This link was actually quite helpful. Thanks. I'm in the process of writing a philosophy book while attending college and doing brain tumor research. A PhD from the Harvard lab I was working in said it was "genius." Hopefully I'll be able to publish within the next two years. Wish me luck!
