Your thinking again is just wrong. You state that to know the temperature of the centre of the sun we would have to directly measure it. But that thinking is an infinite regression as how do we know the device is correct? We'd have to use a 2nd, and a 3rd, and a fourth etc, and then measure the measurements etc. It's nothing more then paranoia and not understanding how systems interconnect. The problem is what you are saying is not complex because you are not understanding the complex nature of the systems you are measuring. Here's a good example. To measure the movement of a glacier you believe some poor bastard would have to stand by it for decades with a ruler. However one indirect way glacial movement can be measured is when bodies emerge at the bottom of them. You determine when the person went missing, the date the body was found and there you have the movement of a glacier. Your central point is nothing more then you not understanding how systems are interconnected. "You cant know something 100 percent without in some way observing it. That my friend is a fact. " Wrong. Due to the nature of waves, we can determine that the core of the earth is solid. We've never seen it, but thanks to physics, we know this to be a fact. |
Quoting for emphasis.
I know you said you were joking, but just in case.
