Of course! That's how science works! Jim, I'm annoyed at people who assert that scientific theories are never wrong and are simply a subset of something that is more correct. Those who do are definitely not using the scientific method, are they? Obviously since Newton isn't good enough to build an airplane, a bridge, or even a one hole out house and the relativistic effects MUST be concidered in all cases. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

wrote: Ether: no experimental confirmation; discarded. Caloric theory: no experimental confirmation; discarded. Emitter theory: no experimental confirmation; discarded. So many scientific theories have been discarded down through history. Yes, people that don't understand what a theory is do say that. And people that want to play symantic games. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

How convenient. Semantic games; calling a hypothesis a theory doesn't make it a theory. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

... Try thinking out-of-the-box a bit more ... JS We are drowning in theories filled with holes and errors ... for example: To restate, to the point of boring repetition, time is a only a theory. It is a theory that can be proved to be false, and with the use of sheer logic only. Time is a figment of mans imagination. For all mans endeavors of establishing time, all he has ever done is measure movement. From the first stick stuck in the sand to measure the movement of the earth and sun, to the hourglass which measures the movement of sand though a small orifice, to the cesium clock which measures the movement (loss of particles) from an element, etc. Movement is real, time is not (at least not in the way we think of it), time is only a convenient tool/model for man to use to attempt to make sense of his world, and only an imaginary tool at that. Example: We say we "age." However, we don't age in the way we think, that time has some "aging" effect upon us. We age because, just like a xerox machine makes copies, so are the cells of our bodies making copies of themselves. Just as there are new errors introduced in the copies made for previous copies with a xerox machine, so are errors in the cells of our bodies introduced, until fatal errors are being made ... death occurs as result. Mountains crumble and fall into the sea, but not because of time, because of movement. Whatever time is, movement is married to it, whatever movement is, time is married to it. They are one and the same ... When our antenna equations have a "time element" in them, they are quite obviously in error. Time is but a placeholder for some other phenomenon, most likely some aspect of movement ... it may even be the unseen, undetectable, and unknown movement of the ether--the only thing for sure, we don't understand it. Time is only a theory which waits its' demise ... and a prime example of a yet-to-be discarded theory. JS |
