2Curiously everything in physics (and I mean absolutely everything) follows from the lack of causation. How does that fit into your system?FlatterMann– FlatterMann2026-04-29 01:58:20 +00:00Commented 2 days ago

1@FlatterMann that's nomological causation. And in any case, it is by no means the universal opinion in physics that there is no mechanistic causation.David Gudeman– David Gudeman2026-04-29 03:24:30 +00:00Commented 2 days ago

2@FlatterMann, Galileo didn't come up with the modern concept of relativity; he came up with what is called Newtonian relativity which is significantly different from Einstein's relativity. And it would be trivially easy to overcome my beliefs with evidence; you just don't have any. Show me how your theory can account for the motion of a football pass, the strength of a beam, or the eyesight of a cat. It can't be used for any of that. All it's good for is highly artificial, highly constrained lab experiments.David Gudeman– David Gudeman2026-04-29 08:13:45 +00:00Commented 2 days ago

1But are they QUALITATIVE as well? That's what people are looking for here.Scott Rowe– Scott Rowe2026-04-29 11:02:58 +00:00Commented yesterday

1@FlatterMann, Galileo only argued for spatial relativity. In modern physics, "relativity" always means space-time relativity unless specified otherwise. I think you know this and are just bickering because you can't admit you were wrong.David Gudeman– David Gudeman2026-04-29 22:27:52 +00:00Commented yesterday

How to Format
-
create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~
```
like so
``` -
add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible)
<https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. philosophy-of-science), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
