This doesn't sound too different then just rephrasing some of the steps of the scientific method. However, I didn't watch the video but jest read a summary. I could have missed some stuff. |

I stumbledupon this and thought it was interesting. He talks about his new philosophy of possibilianism. He explains how we need to be open minded, but only to a degree. I really liked the part where he was questioning Dark Matter. I've always been skeptical about dark matter. |

Paul is Dead
It wasn't any thing ground breaking, but it was entertaining to watch I think. I would agree with him on most of that. |

No, not at all. It was pretty uneventful, but it's nice to hear a talk from someone with a level head. I hate when I hear from Michio Kaku or any other quantum physisict describe how much we know about something we know nothing about. String theory, dark matter, and 11 Dimensions make me think quantum physicists have watched way too much Star Trek. There's no solid qualitative evidence for any of these claims yet they hold on to their beliefs based on, some longing to be right and have the answers, faith. |

You don't really understand those terms. 'Dark energy' is just slang for 'whatever the fuck is making the universe expand faster'. It's not a hypothesis, it's an observation. Same with dark matter. Nobody knows yet if it actually is some kind of abundant particle that only acts gravitationally, or if there are some modifications that need to be made to the laws of physics. The term is just a placeholder for 'this observed but currently unexplained effect'. |

Heh, I was hoping you'd post Xei. And you gave the exact response I was expecting out of you xD. |

@LikesToTrip- Why abandon a theory when it is consistent? Newtonian physics wasn't throw out the window with the discovery of general and special relativity. The universe still operates by basic laws that Newton discovered only his theories on the speed of light was replaced by special relativity and his theories on gravity were replaced by general relativity. There is no need to throw out his theories because they were unable to explain certain things when the bulk of his laws still stand and are consistent. |

I think you should read my post a lil' closer, I did actually explain this exact misunderstanding: |
