infamouse Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 There is only one Truth: The Universe is infinite. Everything else is speculation relative to observation. What are the odds that a measurement made to the nearest inch will be exactly 1 inch when measured to the nearest quintillionth of a quadrillionth of an inch? Negligible, in terms of the scientific burden of proof. As this methodology can be applied endlessly to any system of measurement regardless of the context, I have conclusively and scientifically proven that every single thread in this forum belongs to the category "Speculation". #math -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science deals in reproducible evidence, not in proof. The rest of your post appears to be nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why we put error bars on results. In science we tend to quantify the uncertainty in results. Quote I have conclusively and scientifically proven that every single thread in this forum belongs to the category "Speculation". 1) You haven't, and 2) You don't get to make that assessment. (the two are not completely independent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Note If you have any scientific support for your arguments, you should place it somewhere in the opening post, so members can assess whether discussing your topic is meaningful or not. Grandiose claims with no substance or support aren't interesting, nor are smug semantic tricks. To stay in Speculations, you still need to discuss actual science, because hey, Science Discussion Forums, right? You know the drill, please use more rigor when making assertions.

We do not know that with any certainty as yet. 11 hours ago, infamouse said: Everything else is speculation relative to observation. Nonsense. 11 hours ago, infamouse said: I have conclusively and scientifically proven that every single thread in this forum belongs to the category "Speculation". #math That is simply an example of pure unsupported arrogance.
