>bawww fuck your empirical evidence JUST TAX DA RICH

Actually looking into it, this looks like crackpot BS.

Also being the only person on Earth would suck. I'd spend most of my time trying to find other people, if I failed after a long enough time I'd probably off myself.

Why are taxes good?

There's the problem!

Also THAT kind of stuff is exactly what I'm talking about. Just a different interpretation of existing evidence.
Another physical model that might be as valid as the current one.

It's mostly a philosophical issue. It's quite possible that you could come up with a model of physics that didn't need to use electrons and protons and still give the same predictions and results.
This is especially important when you get down to the nuts and bolts of quantum physics.

Also take for example phonons, vibration packet "particles" in solid matter. They have observed predictable effects and are measured indirectly. Why are they considered less real than electrons?

I guess this is different from electron holes though as they are more of an abstraction used for convince from what I understand.

Newton's physics was never disproven. It was just expanded upon. GTFO.

>derp circular reasoning and tautology
Please come back after you've gone past basic philosophy.
The statement: "Objective reality is unknowable" is one based on logic not observations, so it doesn't apply. It's also the foundation of Skepticism, which is a foundation of Science.

How can we be sure they are real and not just a damn good model? I mean Bohr got his model of the atom from indirect observation of emission spectra.

Never heard about the Mayans. Although Megastunamis tend to be global events...

>>2890938
Every culture? Nah. Mostly Mediterranean and near eastern ones. There also was a massive flooding of the Mediterranean Sea (which was cut off from the Atlantic during the Ice Age) in pre-historic times to inspire a flood myth

>expanding earth theory

As for the flood myth stuff, the original myth was in the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Jews basically stole it. There is some evidence that there could have been a megatsunami in that region due to an impact in the Indian ocean off the coast of Africa around 10,000 BC that inspired the myth.

There can be no objective truth known by humans. There can be an underlying objective reality but no way of absolutely knowing what it is, we are limited by perception.

>implying physics is a science

Well hello there...

This is the OP.

>>2862991
That is fucking disgusting.

Shut the fuck up.

>>2862701
Yep, you're a big old pussy.

I love how people always refer to "ZOMG MONOPOLIES" like it's some magical force that makes everything about free markets evil.

You can't even name a single monopoly can you?
