>causes are irrelevant now.

Not science.

>point is that it happens that way.

And you only have absolutely no idea why or how to figure out why.

>it literally tells you what an electric field is.

No it describes what was observed.

"the value of an electric field at a point of space is the force which would be experienced by a particle with a unit and positive charge when placed at that point."

Is a description not an explanation. What "force"? Where does the force come from? This still does not tell me what causes the fucking field! What happens to the electric field when the charge is negative?

>People have given you answers for what a general field is, but they were too abstract for you.
Because they're a fucking abstraction in and of themselves. Even many people here have already agreed with this sentiment. So I fail to see why I should believe that field even exists. They were literally made up because no one understands what the fuck is actually going on.

What do you think "magnet" was named after?

>>10831612
Explain how and why magnets do what they do.

>It's what the clock is measuring.
Which is where? It measures the sun and how many times the earth goes around it?

>how do you know something is measured?
Correct. You "measure" "the thing that is real". This doesn't make the standard of measure you conjured up mean anything.

>So you agree that time is real, since time is what a clock is measuring.
A battery and gears can do lots of things other than measuring. Also there is no "subject" to "be measured" that isn't made up. What it's measuring is completely arbitrary. It could measure unicorn to the same effect.

>No one did it.
Well maybe you just got here. I suggest reading all the posts.

>You don't have to quantify the change in distance and time to see that something changed position in time, which is motion.

"change in position over time", doesn't explain what caused the change in motion to begin with.
>time caused it

>Again that's wrong.
No it isn't which is why the answer is in numerical format. It was QUANTIFIED. Now tell me what qualities were quantified. You won't because time has no properties. No qualities that aren't assumed.

>How is this relevant?
Because it's helpful to know the difference between what something is vs what something does.

>What separates them is space itself.
Which also has no properties, so what is causing the "separation"?

>LOL so put two objects in a vacuum chamber. Measure the distance between them before turning it on. Then turn it on and tell me whether the distance between them changed. You fucking massive retard.

Yeah you go ahead and do that. Put them in an absolute vacuum while you're at it, lets remove all the variables.
>Put matter in device that removes matter
>matter is removed
>as well as what is containing the fucking experiment
Good job, now you have absolutely nothing to measure! So what happened to"time and space"? What happened to "distance"?
>you took all the properties away that caused them to be measurable in the first place.

Oh boy! And I thought today was going to be another boring day on /sci/. You gotta post one of his more trollish videos here to get more responses though.
