As history is our witness, a theory is only correct under the prevailing accepted paradigm. That's why they are called 'theories' and not 'laws'.

Would a 2D inhabitant on its surface be aware it was curved? Yes, I do understand the 3D aspect is superfluous in that analogy.

It's 2D curved plane in a 3D container.

Not at all. I'd rather be wise than naive, although world does look simpler and less complicated.

Yep. That's groovy. I must be getting younger in my old age.

I think this is up your street: This is America - Childish Gambino

Would we have to replace our fluid with methane to float the same as we do in water?

Then you are seeing blurred in that section. The bringing into focus in such games is happening in the brain, not in the eye. Depth perception is a mental construct where information is taken from both eyes and processed in the brain to create 3D. You are probably doing this processing for that aspect there i'e it's not a raw ability of the eye.

A field is a geometric description of the distribution of some value in space. It says nothing of the ontological nature i.e. the 'what is', of the phenomena causing the field, so it follows that it is a mathematical abstraction. Science seeks to describe the behaviour of phenomena and objects; what they are of themselves is beyond it's remit. That's why Strange said it's metaphysical.

If Trump turned sideways he'd disappear. He's like a spaghetti western film set: all front. A quote from Aesop seems pertinent:

That's the same spirit me friend called me StringJunky. . At least the cop had a sense of humour.

Yes, that does seem an obvious link, considering this is a science forum.

Yep.

We all are ultimately from blacks, so yes, they are racially discriminating against that part of us. What percentage of black does one have to have to qualify? Is black a colour or recognition of heritage?

Even if you are 'perfect', people will use that against you because it spawns envy... you can't win. As you say, you just have to weather it.

You conceived of it when you was on another astral plane and woke up in the morning to sick all over the bed.

I found her... she's American. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/25/rachel-dolezal-not-going-stoop-apologise-grovel

There's nowt as queer as folk.

I'll see if I can find it. I think it's still at the controversial stage in high-level. discussions

He may have started out that way but maybe he'll come out of this a bit wiser. It's an interesting subject, even if it's just about why we think the way we do. It is actually. I remember a story recently of a white English woman that was 'Trans-Black',

I've discovered a new word: pansexual... those who are attracted to all of the above.

Raider is discussing and defining boundaries in legal context.. Ultimately, some of these boundaries are arbitrary and culturally defined. Even those that are scientifically/medically beyond current technology may not be so in the future.

Why don't we just use one word: transmorphic.

The ones that shout the loudest get the most attention. Dying people aren't exactly going to be jumping up and down, are they?

I carried mine over from an acoustic guitar forum. I went through a phase of trying every string type I could find and a friend of mine called me it.
