Take Newtonian physics. For years it was the best explanation we had to explain the way motion worked. We didn't need a more complicated explanation because almost everything around us seemed to conform to the predictions it gave us.As time passed, we developed more powerful telescopes, more powerful microscopes, more sophisticated apparatus for looking at the very large and the very small, and gradually it became obvious that those original predictions didn't always hold true anymore. We needed a new model that would work for everything, not just the things in the "middle world" we can observe with our own senses.

Yep. And time seems to change a lot of stuff.
Yesteryears' jigsaw pieces were found to be hammered in.
Today's pieces may also be hammered in and when this becomes yesteryear things are altered once again.
Now this is all well and good but the issue is we're all told everything works tickety boo in terms of gravity and space and what not.
The list is almost endless in terms of, "scientists say we may not......( add in anything).....
Basically we're getting told whatever suits the situation as time goes on.
A lot of inventions by scientists and fabricators/engineers...and so on, are genius. Fantastic.
This isn't my issue.
My issue is the one's that are told to us as being fantastic and magical forces that they operate in but are cloaked in secrecy and never proved for reasons like, plebs don't get to know what's what unless we decide to tell a story without proof and basically force feed them that narrative and never question it unless you want ridicule....or whatever..

And so arrived relativity, quantum mechanics, string theory, loop quantum gravity, and while we are still yet to find a "theory of everything" that explains everything in a simple way, all of these fields have produced results that each explain part of the picture in a more accurate manner than the established theories that came before them.Nukehasslefan said:
Do you know anything about any of this?
I don't mean reading up on it. We can all do that. I mean actually understand how any of it is physically reasonable and if so, how and why?
I mean, anyone can tell you they have a magic rope in their home and if you climb it you can end up in space and it works because they tried it themselves.
They can tell you why it works with stuff you've never heard of.
Do you believe it or accept it may be true or would you immediately dismiss it until they actually show you?
Just be totally honest.
My answer is the latter as you know. Am I wrong to think like this and do I need to know anything for me to think like this?
Does it become more real if 10,000 people actually believe the story?
Because this is what we're being asked of a lot of stuff.

Science isn't trying to be complicated. Quite the opposite in fact. Science wants to find the most simple honest explanation for everything.Nukehasslefan said:
Science isn't an invention, it's Earth and what it holds...etc.
It is what it is and finding out anything is being a scientist.
That's when the scientists become compartmentalised and basically put into categories. And then you have the pretenders. The theoretical/hypothetical/pseudoscientists.
It's then down to finding what's what. It isn't easy to sort that wheat from that chaff.
fyl2u said:
Unfortunately "the most simple honest explanation" is often complicated if you don't have the knowledge and understanding of the steps that came before the more complicated one.Nukehasslefan said:
Absolutely.
Anything can be made complicated just by not being on the same wavelength of explanation.
One person's genius can be another person's dumb.
It's about what suits and what is allowed to suit.
Nukehasslefan said:
When you break it all down it becomes much more clear.
fyl2u said:
That much is actually true.Nukehasslefan said:
Yep and this is where breaking stuff down has to apply to reality or it has to show a potential for reality from the start.
There's a lot about this Earth we're told to accept that simply does not go into that realm other than to be told .... the Earth and the universe came from nothing. A big bang that just happened from nothing.
Then people can say "ahhhhh, so that's how we came about."
So simple but what the hell does it mean?
It's utter nonsense as it stands.

A wave is simply that.
fyl2u said:
Simply what?Nukehasslefan said:
A wave.
Nukehasslefan said:
Water itself will show you what a wave is in a simpler form.
fyl2u said:
Water can be used to exhibit various aspects of wave mechanics, yes.Nukehasslefan said:
Water can be looked at to solve a lot of issues about Earth but only of people are prepared to look at it in conjunction with atmosphere and as a analogy to how atmosphere works.
It kills gravity stone dead, in my honest opinion.
Nukehasslefan said:
It's all about looking deeper into the simplicity if you can push aside the gobbledygook.
Indeed.
Why?An awful lot of people have tried mate and you refute everything
If it was all bulshit I doubt we would be capable of having this conversation via the interweb
I think intelligence can run into many realms as well as the one you mention.In the context of this thread, intelligence is the ability to understand another person's position fully and then devise an honest method of determining whether or not they are correct in that position.
Well the jet has thrust. It is being propelled through the air. So it is not being dragged by the atmosphere with the earth's so called spin.
But we are told the opposite of that.
