How many avatars have at least a masters degree in medeival history??????????

You sure the physicists have been able to prove that yet? Last I heard they haven't been able to rule it out.

 

They never will be able to prove it. If a theory says you can't do something, the only thing you can really do in terms of proof is disprove it by doing that thing. Conventional models suggest you'd need an infinite amount of force to move your immovable mass, though, so that's probably not happening anytime soon, unless someone comes up with some wild idea for avoiding the mass increase problem, which doesn't seem especially likely. Who knows, though? I'm not in the business of predicting the kinds of things most people might call "possible". "Probable" seems more relevant to me, and I'm fine changing my perspective if and when new ideas come along. That's what science is all about.

 

Yeah, I'm a little iffy about quantom physics. There is so much we really just don't know. Some day in the future they might have a new scientist that blows it all out of the water. There might be some stuff that they can observe, and they may have some stuff that works, but do we really hear about the experiments that don't work?

It seems to me that scientists want to be true to science, but when it comes to getting grants, they need to make a good case to get more funding. In the end the more we know the more we find out we don't know.

 

Never say never, ever.

Oh boy this thread is going off the rails. Religion vs Science. Everyone telling their personal degree stories and background.

All the OP wanted to know is if anyone had a masters degree in medieval history lol

 

That's not a problem of practicality. It's a problem of logic. After all, it's impossible for you to prove that you can't produce a shot of vodka out of thin air.

 

It's worth mentioning that math allows you to construct all kinds of possibilities that are theoretically possible, or supported by the math, but that don't happen because that's not how things in this universe work.

Look up the fine tuning problem if you want your mind blown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-tuned_Universe

"The laws of science, as we know them at present, contain many fundamental numbers, like the size of the electric charge of the electron and the ratio of the masses of the proton and the electron. ... The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers seem to have been very finely adjusted to make possible the development of life." --Stephen Hawking

 

I like to keep an open mind.

I like to believe ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

Science needs to catch up with that, and religion can't comprehend that.

 

Actually the science of probability does assign some very small non-zero numbers to some very unlikely things.

Somethings that are so unlikely that they haven't yet occurred in the history of our universe.

But that doesn't mean that they CAN'T happen.

 

It is possible.... I saw Superman do it by flying around the earth counter clockwise...... come on folks - get with the times!

 

And then we have the non-intellectual approach to this forum problem lol

 

I mean.... worked for Kirk too, but he used the sun not earth. Honestly, 16 temporal violations, how's that possible if we can't mess with time

 

The Doctor: People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.


This sounds about right. Although he does say later that, that sentence kind of got away from him.

 

I am an idiot but I love history . Few people here can attest to my claim lol!!!
