Newton's theory of gravity. You know of it? Its a brilliant piece of mathematics. And it described the force of gravity nearly perfectly. I say nearly because it was supplanted by Einstein's theory of General Relativity.
Does that make Newton a fraud? Was he wrong? Theories are supplanted and improved upon constantly. Newton got many things right. That is the beauty of science. As we learn new things we constantly improve our knowledge of the universe. KNOWLEDGE not belief.
Once again you are using flawed logic here. You are saying that simply because we dont know EVERYTHING we cannot claim to know ANYTHING. And that my friend is pure and simple bull...
I am not saying that because we dont know everything we cannot claim to know anything. I am saying that just because we cannot test for something doesnt mean it isnt possible.
And I disagree again, your knowledge is based on what you believe to be the truth. What you have tested for and the results that those tests have returned.
I agree Newtons theory of gravity may be a wonderful piece of mathmatics, but he wasnt entirely correct. It dosent make him a fraud, just human, capable of being wrong. Just the same as Einstein was once you got to quantum mechanics if I recall correctly. I could be wrong here, getting a bit out of my knowledge base.
But the overall point being that your knowledge is based on your most current data. Yes alot of things may very well be correct. But your are more than likly to be wrong about some things too. Isnt it those possiblities that drive us to pursue things further? |
