Antennas led astray

By that convoluted logic: The dollar is an arbitrary unit so why strive for accuracy in your paycheck? The inch is an arbitrary unit so why should the carpenter strive for accuracy in matching the new door to your old door frame? Miles per hour are based on two arbitrary units so why should the cop give you a ticket for doing 90 in a 35 MPH zone? The liter is an arbitrary unit so why should the maker strive to ensure there is 2 liters of soda in a 2 liter bottle? But, I know you are just playing word games here. Sir: You SERIOUSLY miss the point. You mean the point where I won't subscribe to arm waving philosophy and insist on science? All you named there are an invention of man and man allows himself to be governed by them ... (some don't, ever hear about income tax evasion and prisons?) Babble. The laws of mathematics, physics and the sciences exist in an absolute form, somewhere ... Utter nonsense. All units are human constructs. There is no such thing as an absolute frame of reference, or much of anything else absolute except the value of pi. There is no absolute quanta of time, length, mass, flux density, energy, power, angular measure, force, or speed. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

And, certainly not a God prone to playing dice in the dark!--but, still able to follow some rules ... (thanks for that one Cecil) Non sequitur. Well then, that leaves the "Man is God" theory, we will just make up the rules as we go along ... I have tried that with women--I find most of them even have rules I must obey ... Non sequitur. You do babble a lot. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
