Dark matter is literally just the name of a fucking variable in an equation. That is all it is. You have no idea what you are talking about OP.

We could call the variable "unknown place holder", or "OP is a faggot", but it wouldn't change anything.

>The idea of linear causal reasoning is doomed to paradox

Nope. What you constructed is an argument from ignorance (argument from incredulity). Your reasoning is fucking flawed. Nice try though. Would you like to try again?

Having an unanswered question, IS NOT A FUCKING PARADOX. It is just an unanswered question. Having an answer that raises further questions, IS NOT A FUCKING PARADOX.

Having contradictory answers or predictions would be a paradox. The Big Bang doesn't have anything like that.

please read a book

Yes, your scientific career is over as soon as you talk about retarded bullshit.

It destroys your credibility.

I don't think you fully realize how little math undergrad engineers learn. Most mathematicans wouldn't even consider that shit real mathematics. OP has NO FUCKING CHANCE of getting into a Math Phd.

HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW BASIC PROOFS! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! No credible department in the would would let him in!

Any system can be represented as a Lagrangian, just like every word can be written down. It is tautology as fuck, deal with it.

I applaud you on your survival. BUT YOU ARE DUMB AS FUCK. Why don't you just google that shit? I'm sure you will find SJS survivors groups on google! WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?

Scientific journals are not gonna clear up the publics common misconceptions and misunderstanhding of BASIC FUCKING SCIENCE. Hell, they aint gonna clear up anything that is below post-doctoral level knowledge. That is what POP-SCIENCE Books (or even intro textbooks) are for.

Scientific Journal articles often DO NOT COVER THE BASICS OR ANYTHING AT A LEVEL THE PUBLIC CAN UNDERSTAND. Instead they are very very very specific and very advanced, and fucking assume you already have doctortate level knowledge in the field. The general public is just not prepared to read a fucking scientific journal article (most journals). Nor is it helpful for them to try.

The American system is fucking fine, and much better then a monarcy. You obvioulsy don't know shit, so let me lay it down for you.

In a real Monarcy: absolute rule by the royals. They make the laws and policies, tuff shit.

In America: anyone can go into politics, and get elected to office. Americans can therefore take an active part in there government, collectivly writing american laws and policy. The vast majority of top government official are elected by the people, so everyone essentially gets a say in "politics".

It is just up to americans to fucking "say" the right thing. It is no ones fault but there own, if they "say" stupid shit.

No

Are you 12? 14? You think like a child.

Conservatism (lack of change) is a loosing battle by definition. Society always has, and always will change. Our values, moral, and lifestyles change with every decade. The people stuck in the past (conservatives) eventually die out. Society always becomes more liberal, and will always seek change.

What we think of as "conservative" today is actually pretty liberal. "Conservatism" is constantly redefined. Basically conservatism becomes more and more liberal as time goes by. The "conservative ideas" we have today, would actually be really fucking "liberal" to a conservative who lived 100 years ago.

You can use the left-hand rule and it works just as well. It is only mathematical convention, it doesn't actually change the physics.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule

"When choosing three vectors that must be at right angles to each other, there are two distinct solutions, so when expressing this idea in mathematics, one must remove the ambiguity of which solution is meant."

"it may be useful to use the opposite convention, where one of the vectors is reversed and so creates a left-handed triad instead of a right-handed triad."

You can use either, left-hand rule or right-hand rule, and get the same physical results.

Please stop reading shitty pop-science. Cut that shit out, it is only confusing you.

I made a theory, it is called Newtonian Mechanics, and uses a cool new math called Calculus.

OMFG! Calculus can be used in Quantum Mechanics. Therefore, Quantum Mechanics must be based off classical mechanics!

YOU FUCKIN FAIL AT REASONING!

>average Joe's in the history of scientific progress

Nope. Please name 1!

In anycase, it would be possible with very basic shit, but at the level of tech/science we have now, it is impossible.

The average joe just doesn't will not have the"resources" or "intellect" to "invent" anything new (scientifically).

American Highschool dropout, takes credit for inventing electricity, the lighbulb, or the atom bomb. LMFAO

Newton says your full of shit. There is no such thing as Qunatum Mechanics.

So you want people to make up bullshit, and discuss it with you? Why?

No need to make up bullshit, if you are given the facts >>2325871

>Engineering is science

The process of engineering may at times involve science, but that doesn't mean "engineering is science".

The process of working as a cashier involes math, does that mean all cashiers are mathematicans?
