Really?
All the laws we have are not true?
Water doesn't boil at 100 C or freeze at 0C ?
Gravity doesn't exist?
There are no electrons?
Nuclear energy doesn't exist ?
Science is ALL ABOUT discovering the truth about the world we can observe AND starts from the premise that we CAN discover the truth.
Can you identify which scientific laws are "true"?
How would you determine that any are "true"?
Try this: get your thermometer and see at what temperature water boils.
I guarantee it wont be 100 degrees.
Im not just messing with you. Please try these things, and you will learn more than I've
time to try to discuss.
So Paul you going to try to boil water at 100 C?
Betcha cant do it.
Ok Audie. Unless Paul tries to boil water in a location below sea level, tell us why can't he boil water at 100 degrees Celsius?
The challenge was for Paul, you are invited to recuse yourself.
If he is so sure of his facts let him see for himself that he cannot
get that result. He can get a thermometer and a
beaker of water and try for a week. Not 99.5 or 101.3 degrees.
One hundred. AND,if by dint of great exertion he actually did succeed
he will have a datum point, nothing more. He can then say it is true
that the number he wrote is his datum point.
His five questions were a bit of a rhetorical gish and gotcha-attempt so I'd like him to accept the consequences
by dealing forthrightly with them. Paul, go thou forth and boil water at 100C. Have fun trying.
Another was about "laws". Paul, or you, if you like you are invited to say which
scientific laws are "true". Five would be a nice number.
