Is the (argument from inconsistent revelations) a real logical fallacy? The argument from inconsistent revelations, also known as the avoiding the wrong hell problem, is an argument against the existence of God. It asserts that it is unlikely that God exists because many theologians and faithful adherents have produced conflicting and mutually exclusive revelations. Since a person not ... 16 May 2010 03:48
Nominalism vs Realism In philosophy, nominalism is the theory that abstract terms, general terms, or universals do not represent objective real existents, but are merely names, words, or vocal utterances (flatus vocis). In this view, it is only actual physical particulars that can be said to be real and universals exist only post res, t... 16 May 2010 03:48
Types and tokens Can developments in philosophy can take us beyond any supposed limits of natural understanding? Types (e.g.slow cars, fast cars)are not subject to the rules that govern tokens (the car). Types are not, for example, identical with, similar to, or different than "other" types. There is no similarity or differe... 16 May 2010 09:10

Objects There are no physical objects that have properties. For example, we do not have a body, nor is an object heavy. Rather, properties are a means of identifying one type of object, the physical object. The physical object behaves in a certain way, a way that is distinct from the behaviour of properties. Thus, ... 29 May 2010 21:12

Classical logic is not distributive In http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0812/0812.2698v1.pdf "Is Quantum Logic a Logic?" by sometimes sci.logic contributor Norm Megill and co-authored by Mladen Pavicic, it is shown that classical propositional logic has a sound and complete model that is not a complemented distributive lattice, i.e., is not a Bo... 14 May 2010 05:11

Expansion = contraction /On May 7, 2:35 am, Peter Riedt <rie...(a)yahoo.co.uk> wrote: Expansion = contraction Lorentz contraction formula L1=L*sqrt(1-(c/v)^2) snip Lorentz's formula was x' = beta*el*x, in which beta^2 = c^2/(c^2-v^2), so beta = sqrt[c^2/(c^2- v^2)]. Evidently Peter thought that c^2/(c^2-v^2) reduces to 1-(... 12 May 2010 18:07 |
