So that’s why we now have 187 human sexes!

Hat’s ok...I didn’t even read this.
Long ago, I accepted that in my opinion, there is no one reality. The majority of people in any given area have an accepted view on what ‘real’ means. That view changes depending on the location, state of mind, and state of circumstance. Of course, this is not something one normally brings up at the local 711 Store or Super Cuts Barbershop.
5d beings in 3d reality necessarily have limited access to higher orders. We chose this of voulantary action, it grants a form of physical expression we desire.
We know there is more out there, and we are tryig to understand why we can’t get there from here.
We know this as the fall of man.
We may be isolated here.
Theory is fine. Observation agreeing with it is even better.
If the world’s not real then neither is this article. So I didn’t spend any time reading it
Another golfer trying to explain why the universe makes him miss shots...
One of the reasons why humans are handicapped in our understanding of reality is because of our reliance on the “scientific method”. It is a system based on observation. The problem with this method is that our understanding of reality is corrupted by the limits imposed by observation. Indeed, as well well know, it is the perception of the observer that changes our reality.
This is a well understood rule. If you the reader, don’t “get it”, then you need to study quantum mechanics 101.
...
But quantum mechanics is the result of observation and the scientific method.
“To prove that Newtonian Physics does not represent the reality that we inhabit . . . . “
That may be an unnecessary undertaking. Newtonian Physics is one tool of many at our disposal, so its “representation” of reality is limited, but it is not false.
It is good to see an increase in knowledge that expands our understanding of reality. The creation is complex enough that we will never fully comprehend most of it.
In the end it will be shown that all things visible and invisible are subject to a certain One whose incarnation, birth, suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension took place at just the right time and in just the right place.
Imputable? LOL!
Metaphysical claptrap.

I really thought Laz wrote this and he was feeling better.
I read the whole thing. I did actually take a course in physics and studied higher mathematics in college so I was not entirely at sea. Even so, the conclusion is a bit mind-blowing.
The argument here is quite radical. Are there any physicists out there who can comment? Is this some kind of sophistry?
He says that, contrary to common thought, Newton’s Laws are neither “fixed nor imputable”. I’m trying to discern why he wouldn’t say “immutable”, as it seems to fit the context better. It can’t be a misprint, though, as he does it multiple times.
The key word here is *intentionally* false.
Let me use the analogy of a radio show, say Rush Limbaugh.
For example, let’s say his show is on AM 910 from 10:00am to 12:00pm. So at 10, you tune your radio to 910, because this is the reality you want.
But now think of all the other radio stations broadcasting at the same time. And the static between stations as well. They are part of reality, but you don’t want to perceive them right now. Nor do you want to listen to programs before 10 or after noon. Yet they are part of reality as well.
Nor do you want to deal with all the other stuff on the other electromagnetic bands, including FM radio, TV, analog and digital, light, radiation, etc. It is also part of reality, but you don’t care about it.
So you discriminate against all the rest of it and just listen to one radio program. Is its reality fake? Well, yes and no. A little bit of it is what you want, just a tiny fraction of the whole.
The essence of empirical epistemology is faith. I am sitting in my chair because I have faith that it is not going to collapse under me or instantaneously evaporate. That faith is based on empirical experience, both my own and my observations of others sitting in chairs, but if I did not have faith in the chair, I would not sit in it.
The difference between faith in Christ and faith in my chair is one of degree, not kind. I sat in my first chair because I was willing to take the risk without personal experience, on the basis of the testimony of others, and because I was in need of resting my legs; I came to Christ because I was willing to take the risk without personal experience, on the basis of the testimony of others, and because I was in need of resting my soul. It took more faith to comes to Christ than to come to the chair: as much as a grain of mustard seed.
And one more thing. Aristotle made sense until Newton came along, and Newton made sense until Einstein came along, and Einstein made sense until quantum physics came along, and quantum physics will make sense until the next here-is-how-the-universe-works comes along. But each is simply a more complex, more nuanced version of the same assertion, that the universe demonstrates orderliness and complexity at every level from subsubatomic to supercluster galactic, and the only way *that* makes sense is to accept by faith the existence of a God who made it so, who keeps it so, and who, to use an unscientific term, selflessly loves it.
“The second law of thermodynamics is empirical. It has no fully satisfactory theoretical proof.”
I believe there are some quite extensive statistical explanations.
Well if that's true...
