the thing is Tom is that you also based on guess work. you can't prove without a doubt that your ideas are any more concrete, (at least not yet) and in actual fact there is more and more evidence that Cosmic Plasmas are real and have been proven. and so far from what i understand it is not just a possibility that Cosmic Plasmas exist, it is a fact.

lets say that you are right that the inductive reason is not the way to explain the Aurora then may i suggest that you look at the Aurora and explain it in your own terms.

and yet if we look at deduction and induction as an equation one must equal the other. i should be able to go from the specific to the general and i must be able to go from the general to the specific.

but if the scientist is able to not have any biases(see what you find regardless of preconcieved notions and have the flexibity to question any preconcieved notions) then induction is valid. your argument i based on emotion and stagnet thought with no flexibility. but this where a few scientist see past this, example Hannes Alfven differs and yourself.

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

true and fair enough, however it is the Philosophy that gives the perspective to investigate this or that avenue in the first place. and realists can be wrong for many reasons. for what they thought was real needs to be changed. (Newton,Einstein i'm sure there are many more who thought they were realist but in time it was found they were not completely right) is that not from where your theory was galvanized from? the idea that earlier "realist" were wrong and now contemperary realists have a better understanding based on their Philosophy. it is the completness of the theory which makes one theory more "real" than others, it must explain, ultimately ALL things and THAT is extremely complex and difficult to do, to say the least.the theory must include ALL known knowledge that is relevant and bring together this knowledge as a whole, and to see its truth, to produce a complete and accurate picture of the whole and that can include the investigation of what seems unrealated ologies.

in conclusion, it is the Philosopher(advanced) who has the ability to draw ALL disciplines of Natural investigation into a unified whole.not a philosopher in a specific ology. this is because he/she has not the time or ability to absorb,comprehend and sort though all this information and come to a Reasonable conclusion. based on the realists findings.

that would take quite the mind!! you can find this same basic concept in a book (i thought this before i read a book by Gordon R. Dickson "CHILDE CYCLE" "The Final Encyclopedia") although his was a computer which gathered all information not Human.

It's all deductive, the opposite of inductive guesswork.

<blockquote id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">you can't prove without a doubt that your ideas are any more concrete<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">"Proof" is something that applies to theorems in math. We don't "prove" things in physics. But good models must (1) be logical, (2) add insight and understanding, (3) be consistent with all relevant observations and experiments, and (4) make falsification predictions. While the five major cosmologies can claim they pass #1, only MM can claim major success with the other three. PC in particular adds almost no insight (#2) into the origin of the universe because it has adopted the worst feature of BB, expansion from an origin. It passes many observational tests (#3), but fails a few, requiring ad hoc helper hypotheses to bail it out. And I've not seen a falsification test (#4) proposed for it (or for BB either, for that matter).

Are you sure about this? I thought Einstein once said that his ideas do not come from the rational mind. And I always read about some scientist woke up with a dream, or someone gave him a tip, or whatever, "It just came to me." Can you tell me a great idea that was actually figured out?

Can light be detected when there is no detector? Because maybe light doesn't exist by itself, maybe it only exists as an interaction between this and that. Maybe light doesn't travel through the outside Universe, maybe light is really traveling through the INSIDE, through the elysium, and popping up when and only if something pop up in its way...

Philosophers drive themselves ... and everyone else ... crazy. Non-mathematical, classical physics is the way back from this madness. -|Tom|-<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

Tsk Tsk Tom, you know better than this. Remember you said this is a place anyone can feel safe in. Something like that above is what Sarfatti would say. Good thing I am not a professional philosopher, that would hurt my feelings. Whitehead said that philosophy must not be partial to any domain, but must ge able to accomodate all of them. I can find the quote if you want. I am a professional General Systemist if you gotta know. Not that I get paid. General Systems is about finding those principles of a system and then applying these generalizations to other fields of science. We also do this so as to reduce duplication of effort. At the fundamental level, a system involves a shift in perspective from the parts to the relationships. Sorta like shifting the focus of your eyes from the black and white marks on this page to the meaning of the words that they make up. Classical science is entity based, systemics is simply saying that it is time to look at what the entities are doing to eachother. "We must think in new terms of interaction..." Bertalanffy said.

To help me in this battle of the scientist and the philosopher, I have redefined them, using the principles of science, so that they form a complementary whole much like a gestalt whole. Here is how I did this -- Let us say that science is the study of the particular. A natural limit to this has been placed by the verification principle, so that it can be said that science is the study of that which can be tested. Philosophy, on the other hand, is the study of general principles, and does not have this same limitation. So we have the complementary of science is the study of the particular, philosophy is the study of the general.

Now, let me give you an example. The phythagorean Theorem. A^+B^=C^ is a general statement we know is true for all right triangles. This is philosophy. BUT it cannot be proved in this form. SO, to make it scientific we substitute 3^+4^=5^ and we can find many ways to "prove" this. BUT 3^+4^=5^ is not general anymore! It is a special case, and only that. So you see, in my view anyway, the philosopher cannot be specific and the scientist cannot be general. Not that they don't try...

And that is what is driving you mad. A real philsopher cannot, by definition, be particular. And you, a real scientist can only deal with particulars. A real philosopher can write an entire book that would seem meaningless to you. But meaningless to you does not also mean meaningless to everyone. It especialy does not mean meaningless end of story.

So I asked, being philosophical, "Can light be detected when there is no detector? Because maybe light doesn't exist by itself, maybe it only exists as an interaction between this and that. Maybe light doesn't travel through the outside Universe, maybe light is really traveling through the INSIDE, through the elysium, and popping up when and only if something pop up in its way..."

Boy, all I did is ask a few questions, what's wrong with that? Besides, no one knows what light is, I got a right as much as anyone to figure it out myself. Standing back outside the box, who says that light travels through space? Maybe it is traveling through the asylium and popping up whenever something gets in its way. Isn't this what those engineers are trying to do with warp drive and wormholes? They don't picture themselves moving through space, they go INSIDE, and pop up somewhere else. So maybe light is already doing that? And everything we measure about light, thanks a whole lot for the summary, is actually our measurement of the light's interactions on the outside, in our space.

As far as deduction/induction, as a systemist I'd say it is like up/down. At any rate, as a system they form a complementary. Of course each has it's place and role and usefulness. Question, when Tycho Brahe plotted the orbits, and Galileo took that data and created a hew paradigm, did they use induction or deduction?

The more I think about it, the more I lke my idea, our idea. The asylium isn't a medium per se, the asylium is where all the action is. Oh here I go again, the asylium "is" light...Maybe.

PS. Peter Gariaev at the Russiah Academy of Sciences, has this notion of "phantom DNA", He uses a laser to detect the holographic Light fields of a DNA particle, and translates this to RF. It shows up on a screen as a pattern. When they remove the sample, and recalibrate the chamber, they are able to see a clear pattern from the DNA. They attibute this to the ZPE. Don't know yet, if this is true. But if it is...

Tom and i have read some of your CD(despite the problems i have had with it and i again thank Larry for his pa***ts( i'll be darned if i can the proper spelling, its dam frustrating i like to be right in my spelling) in your book though, remember i had a problem with your view of two particles. in that you had suggested that if there is movement of these particles relative to each other that you would not be able to tell. but my arguement to this perspective is that if one particle moved non-parallel to the other, that you could indeed see that one particle has moved relative to the other. if one were to move relatively speaking, behind or above, below the other. we may not be able to measure(mathematicly) but we now that there was movement, simply because of position.

don't get me wrong now, no quams with your perspectives objectives to BB but you have no basis for dismissing PC(Plasmic Cosmics?) otherwise what does PC mean. (please for those who chose to to use acronyms, at least explain them in the begining it helps to clairify your thoughts).

Tom, i have to say this, there are those within the Cosmic Plasma science, that DO NOT BELIEVE in BB.

only because your not willing to LOOK INTO Cosmic Plamas are you? don't you see that in a way you've become like the mainstream physics that you adhor?

Tom

we can't think that in our life time we can know it all! to do that is an illusion. we do the best we can with what we know my friend. to think that at this time, anyone has it ALL figured out, is not true, however what we can do and as many others are doing, we(humanity) are trying to find are way, without the suppression of ideas and that is why we are here Tom.

obviously this is not zero point energy. for a point to have no energy the pattern would not show, strictly speaking.

i would think that strictly speaking, Zero means Zero(if not define further your concept of Zero) you should know better.

a point is massless

therefore of course has no energy.

Tommy

as well in your reference to language and its restrictions. this is nonsense. language evolves, grows with time , and slowly defines better what we are trying to get across. think about it from Sanskrit to now you are trying to tell me language does not change.

we create new words, phrases etc. to express thoughts.

if your arguement was true then the dictionary would be a stagnant book of definitions it is not.
