| "Science and the rules of science are relative to only the rules we were given of what we know." >>What does this actually mean? "Where did gravity get it's rules? What set the rules to dictate how gravity should work?" >>We can't know this, so long as we take the Big Bang to be a singularity. Anything before it is unknowable. Thus, it may be that something 'invented' the rules or it may be that by some means the Big Bang was ex nihilo. But we can't know. "Simple. It is an eternal state." >>Not sure what you mean by this. "If you study science deep enough and long enough it will force you to believe in the unnatural." >>This is pure toss. Science is purely an agreement. We agree to use logic and maths and so on to reach conclusions. Certainly, they are not necessary and are also 'invented', but they serve a purpose within a certain framework. Science is not a method of discovery as such, but of interpretation into logical format. So nobody invented G= mm/(r)2, it is not an intgeral feature of gravity but within the scientific framework it is a way of describing it. You seem to have hit upon the fact that science is not absolute, but you have then jumped to the conclusion that it is totally relative. In fact, it is possible to build semi-absolutes within the context of an overall relativity, so long as everyone you are working with agrees to the system. | |
