I discuss a distinction made by Martin Thomson-Jones between making true as interpreting vs as fitting a description, in the context of the semantic conception of theories.

Bumping this up. I wrapping up a follow up paper about the epistemology of the program and I would love to add a thank-you to the person here who flagged parallels to Maimonides's apophatic theology.

My follow-up paper is brief enough to submit to a journal for a proper rejection before I self-publish it again like some kinda wingnut. Surely you won't want to go unthanked in so esteemed a publication! ;)

That said, if there's a #philosopher out there who is alright with weird new ideas, but isn't disgusted by the appeal to much older ideas to defend them (see https://zenodo.org/records/14665746) - and has some background in #metrology / #philosophyOfScience - I'd love a reader/advisor to help strengthen the follow-up paper. I promise it is not actually wingnuttery. Focus of the f/u is not metaphysics - more tied to the second half of my initial paper: epistemological consequences / relevance to measurement and theory of knowledge / practice of science.

What if one of the greatest #revolutions in #physics were based on a seemingly illogical #observation?

This #Zoomposium with #ThomasNaumann and #IljaBohnet explores precisely these kinds of open-ended and #fundamental questions.

The biggest questions in #science are far from being answered.
Perhaps, especially in the age of #BigScience, we need #newwaysofthinking againโ€”not just bigger machines.
