:: Friedman was forced to resign from UofC by its age limit. ::
Yeah, that’s it...age limit. Meanwhile that ossified she-nine communist (Piven) still pulls in a paycheck for “lectures”.
Physics, eh? Good to meet another hard scientist.
If it can’t be proven by mathematics, it doesn’t exist.
Flat Earth denier!
Anyone have classes with Robert Mulliken? Nobel prize. We spent a quarter in 1964 learning that it was not an x/y world, but an x-x0/y-y0 world.
Yes, & No.
The Greek/numbers/dissection into smaller & smaller components methodology of KNOWING is very useful for a great many things.
And, there are SOME ways to quantify intangibles e.g. love etc. depending on criteria and context.
However, the Hebrew phenomenological methodology of KNOWING is also MORE useful than counting or dissection for KNOWING SOME things. I doubt your spouse would prefer you to KNOW them via dissection vs the Hebrew mode of physical intercourse!
“””If it can’t be proven by mathematics, it doesn’t exist.”
Well, that’s nice.
I sat in a mechanical engineering class figuring out force vectors on a rivet in a construction crane boom using a slide rule as we were not allowed to use new technology.
Looking up from my work, bored to tears sliding out that useless task, I saw the instructor using an HP-64 handheld checking our work.
I thought about that long and hard, and at the end of that quarter went down to a pawn shop and traded my sliderule for a well fitting largish hammer mere mortals could barely lift, let alone apply with the finesse and accuracy that I was able to achieve.
I became the Destroyer of Worlds and the Adjuster of Attitudes, and that hammer has served me well all these years. When everything looks like a nail to an impatient mind, a hammer is a universal solution.
After discovering that I could grunt and point and my dog would go fetch the newspaper, I had limited use for language from that point onward.
Upon arriving at FR I have discovered that grunting and pointing was not as productive. Through a method known as cut and paste I have been able to piece together visual pictures of how the world should be.
Some remain that still do not understand.
I keep that hammer nearby if deemed necessary.
The rumble you hear could well be me trimming my toenails.
Be well my brothers in your mathematical construct.
