ok.
i will never contest that until you render what is not true. ie.. i can only witness what is between you and i
You have not extended this respect to others on this forum.
that is fair but then to say a black hole IS dis or is dat.......... is all speculation (even if mathematically predicted and accepted) and it dont mean it is real
That is why I do not discuss these things in terms of what is and what is not real. I discuss them in terms of what I understand, hoping to learn, and I leave authoritative statements ("a black hole IS dis or dat") to the experts. Who, by the definition of "experts", DO have the knowledge that I lack.
and if heat is on a highway does it, can it, will it often redirect light (a mirage)?
just like star light going thru the corona of the sun?
have you ever read the evidence from the experiments themselves?
Some, yes. However, 1) that is irrelevant to a discussion of biology (unless you can demonstrate that refraction is somehow a biological concept?), and 2) you obviously do not understand the subject (refraction is caused by the change in density of the air, as I recall; at any rate, waves refract, be they ocean waves, light waves, or sound waves, when they encounter a boundary between two things with different indexes of refraction [which I have seen--it's a critical concept in petrology]).
i bow to honesty. ie... i would love to be able to put my life on your words if you held such integrity.
Back when I was doing soil sampling for a living people did. And they all went home after each survey.
and that is well understood as it may appear quite diverse but even you must believe in your heart that all things have a causal explanation or science would never capture truth (the absolute).
Causality is a concept central to science, yes, but that does NOT mean that you can take two random concepts (refraction and biology, for example) and mix and match them however you feel. One must look for connections between seemingly disparate branches of knowledge, but not all such branches are connected. The concept of an emergent property more or less shatters what I believe your view to be.
then i must ask, if and i say if, a 'thing' was to be capable of combining knowledge with all the tough inquiry and skepticism of an honest soul, would it be a human being and then would the internet age offer far more capability than any other time in all history?
It depends. If someone were truly honest they could learn a lot today. However, part of honesty is starting at the basics, which you have not done, either in physics, or astronomy, or biology.
i mean, is it actually possible that knowledge could evolve to that point? Then is it possible, that you could do it, be fair to humility but literally capable to understand the 'priniciples' of how it worked?
What in the name of the unholy Old Ones do you think the experts you have continuously insulted here DO?
i am all over the place, because choose to see the works from across the world. i have walked on more campuses during my life then any but mary jane (a bet i will stand on)
Physically being many places does nothing to contribute to your credibility. Simple fact of the matter is that you have yet to understand the basic concepts in the fields you choose to discuss. I don't care if you've studied under Gould himself, you
demonstrably do not understand the basics. Therefore, your opinion is irrelevant.
as i care for seeking reality over needing to prove myself. I like to be hammered as i check myself everyday.
It's not a question of that. There are people here who understand concepts neither you nor I are capable of, by virtue of the fact that they have studied and worked to understand them and become experts in their fields. You want to be viewed as at least their equal, or superior. Which is fine; there's always a bigger fish. But to do so you need to pay your dues--you need to demonstrate knowledge of at least the basics of the field. Understanding what biology IS, for example. Not insulting entire diciplines as though they were irrelevant (as you've done time and time again with astronomy). Maybe showing that you understand the math involved, which is a necessary tool for understanding the concepts (even if you don't like to look at physics from a mathematical perspective). Until you do that, you are basically a petulant child demanding that adults take you seriously, for no better reason than "But I WANT it!"
He got the expensive model with the hot/cold selector switch.
Huh. I guess I should have done that. I got the one with the imp in it. At lunch I either get piping-hot popcicles or frozen coffee.....
