RE: Science Is Not The Answer to Everything

in #science8 years ago

I am working on a post of this topic, but it is difficult going.

Its kinda like talking about pizza-gate three years ago. No one knew, or wanted to talk about it, and getting into it meant pulling in a LOT of disparate pieces.

Your reaction is also an example of what this post was talking about.
How, I would have responded was, "In what ways? Can you tell me more?"

I find that most people don't even know that mathematics is built on a bunch of assumptions. So, when you talk about challenging them, you either get outright denial, or blank stares.

Most of my theories come from people who be described as self-trained mathematicians. And so, in the "peer-reviewed" world, they are nobodies.

In the mathematics that I am working on (and others like me) PI is a rational number. It appears that several ancient civilizations (like the Mayan) also had this form of mathematics. (they encoded it into their pyramids)

All I can do is point it out, and anyone who wants to can go look for it.

Sort:  

Mathematics requires proof of claims or evidence. That is the very essence of mathematics. I saw only claims and nothing more.

I did respond that way. And I quote:

What indications exist that certain assumptions of mathematics are incorrect?

Even when I was amicable in my response asking you for any indication (which I meant to act as a synonym for evidence) that you had that the assumptions of math are false, you make a claim that my reaction is an example of what this post was about.

In short, I observed and stated that your claims were baseless and had no evidence. I asked for your sources and information, yet you sidestep the question.

I have some more questions that I am sure you will also choose to not answer.

  1. What's your definition of rational?
  2. What's your proof that Pi is a rational number?
  3. What sources do you have that ancient civilizations considered Pi to be rational in their form of mathematics?
  4. When's the next FES meeting?
