Yeah but would you understand him?

Keep in mind we are the bankers' slaves, we don't know anything, we are disconnected from reality by taking the blue pill that makes you want to work and are stuck in quantum wormhole as the story manifested by a 35000 year old entity through some woman in her Kitchen goes and repeated by Cliff.

Not at all. Y'all devolved from us, and we threw y'all out.


Gravity is just a theory.

That doesn't bring me down.

Theory only tries to explain observation of forces like gravity. The force is a law the explanation a theory based on observation.

If you can't read the Bible and get a reasonable message from it should you be building rockets the rest of the week??

I happen to believe that the Theory of Gravity is fundamentally flawed.

A more accurate explanation is that wee leprechauns actually throw objects downwards that are secured by mini garden gnomes (undetectable to the naked eye) and then recycled back into the sky to supply the unicorns which result in the aroma of fresh cinnamon buns.

I call it The Quasimodo Pond Tangerine Theory (or Quasipoontang for short)... It's a work in process but I am confident that The Academy of Science will adopt this Theory in the very near future

Wrong, but thanks for playing.


How are things down at Caesar & Caesar?

A "Theory" is a combination of one or more basic hypotheses, plus a body of knowledge about what the hypotheses imply and how they interrelate to each other, which can together (allegedly) explain many things. Examples: "Evolutionary theory", "Quantum theory", "Marxist theory". A theory may be true or false, correct or incorrect. A biologist teaching "evolutionary theory" believes that the theory is true, while a physicist teaching "19th-century aether theory" believes that the theory is false.

A "Law" is usually more specific, something that can be summarized in a sentence or an equation, like "Newton's law of gravity". A law may be true or false. For example, Newton's law of gravity is false (strictly speaking).

So, these words are not usually used in science to express relative degrees of confidence. Instead, if you want to express confidence, you would use other words, like "fact" or "true" for something you're very confident in, or "hypothesis" or "working hypothesis" or "belief" or "guess" otherwise.

or more accurately:

Theory:

A scientific theory is an explanation of some aspect of the natural world that has been substantiated through repeated experiments or testing.

Hypoethesis:
A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for something that can actually be tested.

Do these messages in your head have distinctly unique voices?
No, they sound quite familiar. Want to know whose it was the last 5 times? The person's voice contains the message rather than it being a long sermon, such as you might be experiencing. You may have missed the memo but the 'voices' you are seeking is written down, waiting for you to read it.

I'm quite comfortable watching a show like this and seeing how one person used a mental instability to look at an unsolvable problem and come up with a conclusion that any sane person would instantly agree with. Then there is the vast majority that will find some reason not to watch it yet be able to feel they watched enough that it warrants an opinion on some subject, related or not.

Kind of interesting watching the religious scrambling to divert attention by trying to discredit other for not believing. A sure sign that the article struck a nerve, one that is actually unsure of itself. It reminds me of the time I was sitting in the Halcyon hot springs when a tourist asked me what was in the water that was so relaxing. I said Lithium. He asked what it was used for. I said "to calm down schizophrenics and bi-polar people. He immediately said, "I'm OK!" rather nervous like. In my mind I said, "Ya riiight!"

Seems like it couldn't be just fundamentalist religion linked to brain damage. There should also be the same link between brain damage and other forms of fundamentalist thinking, like a strict adherence to a political ideology or conspiracy theorists.

This isnt diversion. you jumped on the cult of quantum mysticism bandwagon and made a fool of yourself.

Or even a belief you are a man trapped in a woman's body?
