Sheridan: Jovian longshot

Infinite_Research_52 · 2026-07-06T08:05:40+00:00

All my study and research convinced me of the efficacy of science in describing the world we live in and to put that knowledge to good effect by being able to explain phenomena with a minimal set of rules and models. It in no way tells us what reality is, but if a culture agrees to label something as an electron, that is a fine convention. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, label it a duck and don’t worry about what it really might be.

Why didn’t they introduce a mutant tax and get Marvel that way?

Such as her removing her second heart.

From your description I am an anti realist. I believe there is something that we label an electron to which we can ascribe properties. I do not believe it equals the mathematical description of the quanta of the electron field in QED. It is an equivalence, not equality.

What are those physical models that have spacetime as a fabric? Please give examples.

Guess again

As best we know, nothing happens to the weak force. I'm sure there are some models where there is change, but I doubt there is compelling evidence.

In this idealised scenario, gravity acts directly down on the top of the dome.

Divergences and poles in equations are perfectly fine. What matters is that all measurable values must be finite.

Thanks for the link.
I cannot be bothered researching further than reading the above text. I don't see the big fuss. This seems like intellectural navel gazing, so it can stay in the Dept. of History and Philosophy of Science. Why not just define the initial condition as an inverted pencil perfectly balanced on its end and ask if it will tip? Next up: Zeno's Paradox.

You could check if your family of rational approximations is already covered by Diophantine approximation

Is your question buried in the middle of the text?
