Probably this is more accurate now than in the past because of the WWW.
When I got my B.Sc., there were really only a few courses (final year
dissertations, etc.) that needed a trip to the library to perform
autonomous research & independant thought. Most courses only required one
to pay attention in class. Usually the textbook would be the only reading
material required.

Structured thinking & writing, yes. Exercises from the textbooks were
important for passing the exams, but writing lab reports probably gave me
more skills directly applicable to any job I might ever find myself in.

I was referring to *all* the activities leading up to earning a degree, 
including writing and defending the thesis.  Even if you attended all 
classes, passed all exams, and wrote all lab reports, it requires the
skills I mentioned to finally, and quite literally, *earn* the degree.

Or that you were able to do it at the time, and therefore it's a 
reasonable gamble that you still have that ability. However, it's not a 
guarantee. Ben, for example.

HVAC may know zero science, but clearly (as evidenced above) as a 
strategic writer he knows his craft and it's history! (Obviously he
learned all his "science" from Heinlein)

Isn't it fascinating, John, that you accuse me of having a spellchecker 
that won't admit your ideas, when it is YOU that says that point 
particles are just outright nonsense and are incomprehensible to you? 
Who's got the mental spellchecker, me or you?

>

> scales.

Well, you SAY this, John, but here's the thing. Just because you utter 
it, doesn't make it necessarily so.

In SCIENCE, and I assume we're talking about science here, any assertion 
that anybody makes must come with a testable consequence, something NOT 
YET OBSERVED but FEASIBLE TO OBSERVE. This is the way and the ONLY way 
that science puts assertions to test to see if they are actually right.

So here's the thing. You've made a statement that everything (that's 
EVERYTHING) is infinitely complex (that's INFINITELY), but you've not 
given any indication anywhere of any testable consequence of that, where 
that testable consequence means something that has not yet been 
observed, but could reasonably and feasibly be observed. On that, you've 
offered NOTHING. So as a scientific claim, it's useless.

On the other hand, models involving point particles make lots and lots 
of testable predictions, which included a number that had never before 
been observed until an experiment was designed to test it. And guess 
what? Those testable predictions matched experiment.

So from a SCIENTIFIC standpoint, the zero volume assertion has something 
that your infinite-complexity assertion does not.

Now, I get that you don't necessarily like the idea of how science tests 
assertions, and want to consider only what is "acceptable to the mind". 
But since this is a science group, I think you're out of luck on that.

I find this line of thinking rather amazing, John. You say that anything 
that exists MUST have some INTERNAL energy flow from one place inside to 
another place inside. Can you explain why you think this is so?

The chemicals in our brain decide what we 
will see and what we won't. A problem with 
these, like in schizophrenia, or a temporary 
change, by hallucinogens for example, will 
suddenly allow us to see what we have 
programmed ourselves to mentally ignore. 
-------------

Taking LSD and seeing flags on people's faces or clouds dancing in the sky may be fun for a child, but it is hardly reality.
------------

For Odd or HVAC to receive ideas foreign 
to their 'point particle no structure no volume 
gravity from nothing' worldview will never 
happen, because their spellchecker just won't 
let that happen. 
------------

That which you call spellcheck, I call science and the scientific process. You deal in the world of
The imaginary. That's all well and good, but it has no place in the world of science.


 

No!!!! Gravity is not from nothing. 
-------------

When you say gravity from nothing... Why would you possibly believe that? Gravity is well understood by anyone with knowledge of physics. If you are having trouble understanding it, I suggest that you up the dosage of lsd25.

He's right this time, though. It's not science...not that HVAC knows 
what science is anymore than Odd does.

Hallucinogens?  Is that where you get the "inspiration" for all
your bizarre spinny thing ideas?

That would explain _a lot_.

This is funny.  As Odd points out, it is you who has a
"spellchecker" that won't allow you to consider such
things as fundamental point particles, not Odd or HVAC.

My brain has no spell checker,and is bad with grammar.Good memory,and very clever are its big points. Its good with its eyes,but bad with its ears.Its good with its hands,but bad with its feet. My brain is 88 years old and still looks at pretty LA girls.Go figure   TreBert

Ask Cosby about being paranoid of Libs. They sure taught him not to go 
around lecturing blacks on Lib lies. Single mothers are HEROES! Gang 
life is good for a neighborhood. Kwanzaa is a "real holiday" that 
replaces all that Christian nonsense with REAL AFRICAN belief.

HVAC believes in Kwanzaa. If you tell blacks they are American and not 
African and you get 25 women on the cover of a mag calling you a rapist 
(not a shred of proof, natch).

Hey Harlow, isn't drugs the way you get to have sex with all those 
underage tiny foreign girls?

as well as the M&M filters.

There is no foot cure. There are no filters.

The Criminal Swine Glazier refused to stop his practices & rejected
to be taken down, because Glazier at his age of 87+, Swine Glazier
labeled himself as "Siegman Fraud" which is synonym with "Bowel-
movement, actually saying that __ "Glazier is a piece of shit"__.
who, to boot, also announced that Glazier is a Transvestite who dons
female dresses and a Sarah Palin mask, saying that he has "nice
legs"...
