All I know is that if my beer is at the half mark, i'm not celebrating because it's still half full, I'm on my way to the fridge. Half Empty. |
|
There's no such thing as EXACTLY half, ergo I can not answer the question. All that means is, WHERE'S MY WAITER! |

One is not half of two? |

I know this is the second time I've half-insulted Amé but I cannot believe how quickly and simply bradybaker did that. It's sort of funny. |

I think I missed something here.... |

Well, I can't grasp this without utilizing a little logic... |

Given that the natural state of a cup is empty, it is only natural to say half full as a positive assertion of the extra prescence in an object. |

The whole half empty/half full question is just a sneaky way to weed out the optimists. The glass is BOTH. |

I love it when a plan comes together, world domination is my plan, im leading people into a false sense of security with the half glass thing, then wham the entire world is mine! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! megalomaniac is here, there is no glass, its on the floor, smashed into pieces! Hypnosis on your ass bitch, MIND BULLETS! |

Political decisions and policies are philosophy at their core, there can be no ideal state or just life without understanding the principles of political philosophy and understand these principles is understanding what knowledge itself is....... |

I have no cup. When I make orange-juice from concentrate, I pour the mix right back into the can. That's how we do it in the ghetto |

Who cares if the glass is half full or half empty. Just drink the bloody thing. |
|
maybe.... the cup is just to damn big! |
|
You can't really say that its both half full and half empty, because the two sides of the question, the scientific side of the question, the glass can never be truly half way, and individual interpretation of the question, optimism and pessimism, don't really allow for a definitive answer. |

These are the tears that I dream about...

Physical objects can be half full/empty. For example: Your "cup" is a potential well that originally has 10 atoms in it. You lower the potential of the well, and 5 atoms now have the energy to escape. You're left with 5 atoms in the well, which you then raise back up to the original potential. Voila! Your "cup" now has 5 atoms in it-- half of the original quantity. Of course, you can argue that since an infinite potential is impossible, part of the atomic wavefunctions will necessarily lie outside of the well and thus it will not be truly "half" full, and since we're in the Philosophy forum, that's perfectly allowable. However, I doubt that the people who brought up the "no such thing as precisely half" argument were thinking along those lines. But maybe they were... |
