FAITH in TRUTH?

Some people don't have faith that truth exists. They don't believe there is such a thing as absolute truth. They talk about "my truth" and "your truth".

Name a nontrivial rule that nature follows perfectly. I can't think of any.

What do you mean a non-trivial rule?

The rule for gravitational force I just gave you is followed consistently for special conditions. It doesn't under Einsteinian conditions but that means we haven't found the universal rule yet.

How do you KNOW?

Let me put it to you this way: If you don't believe we know that pi is the same value everywhere then you don't believe you know anything.

We don't KNOW their values.

That's true. But 1)We know there is only one value and 2) We know that it is the same everywhere because the calculation of the values does not depend on any physical constants.

The fact that we don't know the value doesn't say anything about whether there is only one value.

If you can name that perfect rules "Nature" follows, give me a buzz. I really would like to know it.

Yeah. You and a lot of people.

Gee,
You gave rules that have problems. Gravity, with rules problems. I asked for a rule that was clear. You gave me crap, and under special conditions.

You really don't know what you know.

It is hilarious, but you should not post if you do not know why you think you know something

Aren't you slapping your forehead right now?
