Default Re: Why is this forum entitled Science/Math/Philosophy

Kaj,

I agree that discussion of a well defined concept, such as a Laplace Transform will fizzle out within a few posts, but there are still huge areas that aren't fully nailed down within the fields of physics (and bordering philosophy) such as differing interpretations of QM, problems with current theories, formation of new theories, etc. (and this is only within physics.)

As far as the discussion being for the sake of the audience reading these threads; do you really think that people are going out of their way; linking scripture pages, wikipedia entries, scientific data; as well as typing out page long rebuttals for the people not engaged in the discussion?

I occasionally get PMs from posters I've never seen post before on some topic that we discussed in SMP. Sometimes they are even positive!

Vhawk,

What exactly do you mean by this? I felt my speech was rather ambiguous as to which side i'm on. Please dont troll this thread, as i'm already aware of your incredible intellect, and would be honored to hear your true opinion. Thank You.
