NO models are true. NONE can be proven true by mathematics. And that 
fact HAS been proven!

Truth in science is not based on mathematical proof, Ben. Never has 
been. Truth in science is a) always provisional, b) based on comparison 
with experimental evidence. When a scientist says that a theory is 
valid, what it means is that it is currently accepted because it has the 
greatest success so far in agreement with experimental data. 
Mathematical proof does not even enter into that assessment.

I माहिपाल, with that name alone your Vocabulary Argument went down the loo
Loo LOO, so as one actual Scientist/Engineer/Physicist/MathDude... I find
your facade of speaking for Science/Scientists a complete and utter
nonsense. A Useless Toy. Who in Hell anointed you Odd as the voice of
Science?  The reality is, you Odd have little to no clue what actual
Science is. You're too chicken to even share your name. You just have
hatred and resentment for anyone that isn't HVAC or Sam Worm Liar.

In sum, for the ADD single line crowd, Scientists are not Borg Brained.

Boinker you are a hoot. First you repeat what I just told you to try to 
convince everyone that somehow this is YOUR point and not mine, and then 
after a lifetime here of worshiping mathematical models as more real 
than reality you say math has nothing to do with science. You are as 
irrational as HVAC and have exactly ZERO understanding of science. I 
suggest you stick with building wooden toys.

No, I didn't say that math has nothing to do with science. What I said 
is that you don't PROVE scientific models with math. Math is very 
ingrained in science as a LANGUAGE used to describe the models. But 
proof is not the function of the math there. Period.

The effort dear Odd is to construct a 1:1 correspondence between the 
laws of nature and the mathematical model of them. If you can prove 
something in the math then this provides PREDICTION of things to be 
looked for in nature. So clearly proof in math has a central function in 
science. Period.

Of course now you will pretend to explain to me how proving something in 
the model does not prove it in the laws of nature. That must be done by 
experiment and observations. Everyone will then be expected to think 
that the knowledgeable Odd is setting the Kook BJ straight. They are 
supposed to forget that I've been pounding on you forever with these 
ideas and you are finally coming around. You are so small.

This is using math as a LANGUAGE to express the model, what I said.

You are not PROVING anything in the math. You are following from 
hypothesis to consequence by using logical rules in math. This of course 
proves nothing. Calculation is not proving.

Sorry, but no, this is flat wrong.

I don't think it's accurate to say that I'm "finally coming around". 
I've ALWAYS stated these things.

Not aware of this until now. But you Mike are the first to complain
about the size of my Font. It has to be a local setting on your CPU. If
you can't adjust your FontSize, I doubt you know how to read. HTH.

USENET is ASCII.

Whether or not anything else works and how depends on the newsreader used.

All my font sizes are set the same for all the places where I can configure
it. I suspect the problem has something to do with the non-latin characters
in your signature. The latin characters look like the upper serifs are at
the same height as the 'top bar' (not sure what you call it) of the Indian
(not sure which, sorry) script.

If I do a 'reply', the included text is okay, but it is a bit of a bother
to do this just to read your posts.

My newsreader is unicode-aware. I have noticed the same problem with other
users who mix arabic or chinese characters with latin text.

Never mind. I fixed it.

For those using the 40tude NNTP client:

Settings ; General settings ; Fonts / Colors ; [x] Disable font fallbacks.

Now the latin text is okay, but the Indian script is half-size.

You are kind to reply as you just did Mike Duffy. I sincerely apologize if
I misread your post earlier. I normally danceSingh on glass shards.

I am not sure if there is a name for the top bar in the curious
Hindi/Sanskrit script. Me experience or Google searches did not help.

The top bar in Hindi is like math's vector notation, every word hanging! 
Save that some teachers of Math place their vector lines on the bottom.
When handwriting, I have struggled with where to draw the line Line LINE.

Very few individuals actually read my posts. Most brag about how they
have me Mahipal on their latest killfile lists. I wish I was joking!

Often I confuse him with the Bearded Christian guy. So much Yawn.

Shouldn't you HVAC be asleep by now, it's way past your bedtime?
