EVE General Discussion

It's mostly just a debate game Alex It is not about who is right or wrong it is about the ability to break down an argument regardless of how strong the other person believes it, or how logical it may otherwise seem. Like arguing that water is not wet. It's an exercise in human perception and how the left brain talks to the right. Some people turn to religion to explain everything and that makes them feel safe, others turn to science and that makes them feel safe. But in the end it is the same thing from a purely psychological perspective.



To Answer Your Question:

As simply as I can possible put it, there is something in-between two electrons sitting in a vacuum, and every star-trek geek in the world knows that it is there. It is not a virtual field, it is not a smaller particle and it is not a Higgs Boson. It is quite obviously... space-time. So why aren't these particle physics ever talking about it? People keep ignoring space-time., and because our current science keeps ignoring space-time they just keep inventing smaller and smaller particles and weird things like quantum strings, 11 dimensions and inter-dimensional membranes (seriously?)


Space-time is a thing. It probably has a density and it probably has a mass. Charge probably comes from it. Quantum tunneling is probably governed by it. You cannot understand dimension until you understand it. Grand unification will only come after people start to recognize it as a dynamic and fluid medium. Time dilatation (as seen by our GPS satellites) is effected by both velocity and a gravity field. Time can seem to speed up or slow down. This too is a space-time interaction. Even dark energy, I think, can be explained via a space-time effect.



So when someone tells you that quarks are the most basic element of the universe and there is nothing in between them making them interact (which doesn't actually make any sense) ask them how exactly quarks do that? Their answer will likely be something along the lines of god particles, virtual photons or quantum strings. All of which is crap, because now you need something even smaller and more elemental to govern how they interact with one another. So on and so forth into infinity. They give absolutely no regard to the thing that we know is in-between them. The thing that the quarks are sitting in and what is probably making them up in the first place. The dynamic and fluid medium of space-time itself.



So people like Quintessen talk a big game, but they are in fact undereducated. He doesn't think that he is, but he is. Furthermore, allot of people with PHD's are undereducated too (not suggesting that Quintessen has one). When you only seek out information that reinforces what you already think you know, you are "under-educating" yourself. These people are the best kind to play the logic/debate/psychological games with, as I stated above. Because the way they see the world is not based upon logic and sensibility, it is based upon personal belief and what other people have thought for them. Left brain VS right brain. You poke them and you see what happens. It is usually the same thing--a kind of poop flinging self-righteous indignation that resists any new and contrary information. It does not matter if that information is right or wrong, logical or not... it is resisted all the same. But that is the nature of the human animal. Thus the "science religion".



I am not really such an *******, I just play one on video game forums
Flysafe.

Do what now? On here?!? You must be joking....

Makes sense, given that most of the Minmatar ships already have sails...everyone else just needs to get with the program and make sail boats too.
