Dgar…and just a few other things…
rood@dgar Hawking pointed out stuff that wasn't stuff, but now it's stuff that is including the heavy stuff that we barely know anything about.
ReimanSaara@ReimanSaara @dgar there's stuff so stuffed that scientists are secretly hoping an AI will win a Nobel prize after explaining how stuffed stuff is stuffing around, or it isn't ... but then it is ... you know, stuffy stuff being all stuffed because it's not even stuff.
Sean Reid@dgar In defense of Aristotle, it is worth noting, that before Greek philosophers the only people (that we know of) who said anything at all, were priests and shamans. So in case of early philosophers, the "rightness" of their ideas was not the main deal, but that they started trying to think about this stuff and ask questions in the first place -and thought, that reason and research can provide better answers than chicken entrails and holy texts.Greek philosophers got the ball rolling.

It was an early example of when “The thought was there...”

Barry Goldman@ReimanSaara @dgar one day i need to look at Aristotles work on biology. with the original greek (and gotta learn some therefore...) he apparently makes lots of detailed observations
at the same time in his 'on animal locomation' her reports lots of real NONSENSE, and there is no sense in the text of 'hmm... let's go check that observation..'
strange texts. do we even know what their contexts were?
Diana@dgar time is wibbly wobbly! That much we know..
@Goettinderjagd
Timey-Wimey isn’t always complicated, but when it is, it’s a big ball of Wibbley-Wobbly stuff!

Shuff@dgar well, I mean, it’s the truth.
GARLO ROBELLIgrazie per la condivisione Garlo. Spero che tu abbia un bel nuovo anno.

JR Buckley 🏳️🌈⚛️@dgar Pretty much covers life, the Universe, and everything, don't you think? 😝
@JRBuckley yes, as we understand it at this time, whatever that is…
😂

Air Quotes Comedian@dgar I think science should skip the search for quantum gravity and move straight to how the laws of physics are arrived at.
The laws that govern our reality, in a philosophical way, could be seen as the ultimate authority.
This doesn't sit well with me as an anarchist, as you can imagine.
Abolish the oppressive laws of physics, that's what I say.
I'll get my coat.
I have it here.
*hands coat to @Air_Quotes_Comedian
Although, making up dark matter to explain why the observed universe doesn’t fit the calculations without it does raise questions…
😂
@dgar Until they offer up evidence of its existence I'll just remain skeptical. I'm far more concerned that scientific evidence is emerging that reality isn't deterministic. I'd just gotten used to the notion that randomness is an illusion caused by lacking all the information. I cannot wrap my pea-sized brain around any law that would allow for indeterminacy.
Perhaps, much like in battle, in physics there is no law.
Bollocks, I just potentially discovered determinism isn't compatible with anarchism.
I'm having a truly terrible morning here.
@dgar It will. My (paid) work week is over and in a few hours I'll be seeing my purveyor of fine herbs and chilling out.
Robert Weißgraeber🇪🇺@dgar but whatsbout Strings?
🌹Imogen🌹@dgar lol. Yep.
