uh...through "Air". What is this "three-dimensional space" you speak of? Can I see empirical evidence that there is only "xyz"? Will plugging in an xyz coordinate into this "space" spontaneously yield me something like...oh idk such as a chair? If I measure out and draft a chair and then measure out my own standard of measure for a "coordinate" then pray to the universe, will it make the chair phenomenal?
Of course not, you have to plant a seed, which will grow into a tree and then you harvest it. It has absolutely nothing to do with the coordinates or even measurements. It has to do with whether the seed will grow or not.

>That is exactly what we do, but we usually do so subconsciously.
That is what NOBODY does. They walk and are preoccupied with what they'll do next. There is no standard of measurements when it comes to "walking" other than the size of your gait (which isn't specific and varies)

>have a grasp of the three-dimensional space in which they live and have little trouble navigating it.

Yes, I'm sure all those African pygmies navigate using Euclidean geometry and that it isn't just an arbitrary description of what is observed.

Please show me an "x coordinate" in real life that you didn't define yourself.

Just answer the question or stop pretending to know something. I mean it's so easy and it's not even a loaded question in the slightest. If it has properties, it is measurable. If it is measurable then you can obviously use it in a scientific experiment. So just answer it, or don't. There is no need to make such a show over such a simple question:

"What properties does space have that make it dimensional?"

>Why are you claiming space is not 3 dimensional
Why is anyone even claiming that space exists if they can't even empirically show it? As far as I'm concerned it's not part of ANY dimension if it doesn't even exist. I mean is that so illogical? You can say it's "3 dimensional" all you want, that doesn't mean anything if you can't actually show me "the thing" you're talking about.

It's like saying a "unicorn is 3 dimensional". Well okay so fucking what? They still don't exist and I don't care about them.

(i am specifically asking about space and not spacetime)

Apply the same question to both for all I care. "Show me they exist", not a model that theorizes that they could exist or how they would exist if they did. "Space is 3 dimensional" is a perfectly logically thing to believe and would be correct form a description standpoint. However if "3 dimensions" don't actually exist in reality, or "space" then I don't care about it. All I care for is the scientific evidence that proves "space" exists and is empirical.

>well matter has properties so the absence of matter has no properties

Well at least we know that space is definitely not the absence of matter because then it would be nothing! It wouldn't be testable nor definable as something specific!

But it has to be quantifiable right? So tell me what space is, please.

em·pir·i·cal (adjective)
based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic.

space (noun)
the dimensions of height, depth, and width within which all things exist and move

di·men·sion (noun)
a measurable extent of some kind, such as length, breadth, depth, or height.


Space is a word that was invented to describe the physical situation you find yourself in, as an empirical fact. Dimension is a word invented to distinguish and characterize one space from another. If you don't know what the words mean maybe you should look them up, rather than argue something doesn't exist if you can't hold it on your hand. Can you hold yesterday in your hand? Can you show me what yesterday looks like? Can you prove empirically that yesterday is a real thing and that it exists? No, you can't, because the word yesterday refers to an abstract concept, not a physical object you can touch.

Well that's a cool story bro. Can I please have some empirical evidence of this place yet?

>Dimension is a word invented to distinguish and characterize one space from another
Holy shit, now there's "2 spaces"? I thought we were still on the first one.

>If you don't know what the words mean maybe you should look them up, rather than argue something doesn't exist if you can't hold it on your hand
Coming from someone who literally defined "empirical" in their post. Basically you're right.You cannot empirically show something with pure theory and logic, which is why I keep asking for empirical evidence of "Space". Kthx.

>Can you hold yesterday in your hand? Can you show me what yesterday looks like? Can you prove empirically that yesterday is a real thing and that it exists? No, you can't, because the word yesterday refers to an abstract concept, not a physical object you can touch.

So is that like a thinly veiled admission that this "space" does not actually exist? We could have saved like 8 posts.

>Why? Mathematicians and theorists literally are making them up on a yearly basis.

There are theorists that are using higher numbers of dimensions to try to mathematically unify together parts of physics that aren't fully compatible with each other. Their work is in progress, and it's still widely accepted that space is just three dimensions.

I don't know what you mean by 'is it real' - that's like asking if addition or conservatism are real. They're abstract concepts.

>WHERE IS THE PHYSICAL, EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF "SPACE"?

There isn't a microscope that you can point at an empty vacuum and see little balls with 'SPACE STUFF' written on them. You're missing the point my dude.

A model is good as long as it fits what we observe. When we're talking about 'space', we're using language to describe the medium in which things can be in front of each other, or behind each other, or to the left/right of each other. It's an idea we use to describe the way that things are, just like literally everything else in science.

Because no matter what you do, in science you have to start with axioms and concepts that you don't define, if you want to prove space or define what it is you must create another theory that will have to deal with undefined concepts again.

Minkowski diagrams (Usually I see them in two dimensions but I don't imagine this three-dimensional version is much different in principal) are just convenient visual representations of things like causality, length contraction, and time dilation in special relativity. They're simply convenient to have a qualitative understanding of some of the principles of the theory and why Lorentz factors and such come into play with relativistic phenomena. It's as "Arbitrary" as drawing a velocity vs. time graph, which can be useful for obvious fucking reasons.

You are such a stupid pseudo intellectual.
You can NEVER prove anything empirically. There is literally no such thing as "empirical proof", and no scientist would ever say they have "proven" a theory. Proofs belong to mathematics.
If you want empirical EVIDENCE of space being 3 dimensional, then use your eyes to fucking see it you dumb question begging faggot. That IS an empirical observation you stupid fucking moron, literally just as valid and reproducible as any other scientific experiment that humans use to learn things about phenomenon.
If you do not accept this, then you are admitting that you do not actually care about scientific evidence or, as you put it, "empirical proof and experiment". Using your eyes to see that space exists and is 3 dimensional is no different whatsoever from using a measuring instrument to learn that water is formed from hydrogen and oxygen, or that it boils at 100 degrees celcius. Your eyes are just as valid as instruments of empirical observation as any "test" or "experiment" that you can construct using other tools.

You have evidence of a rock and a tall building, and density of materials in play too. Funny how every time I ask for evidence of space someone has to use something else to define it. That is also fine, but you still haven't shown "what it is" that you're applying the something else to in order to define it. If space is a privation which you all keep alluding to, then it literally "is not something".

Why must you all try so desperately hard to maintain the delusion that space is actually something without showing what it actually is? It's a circular reasoning cesspool and everyone is keeping the scummy waters high by continuing to piss in it. Something to put in your new years resolution I guess.

I think you're deeply confused about the way that science works. There isn't any such thing as 'empirically proving' a model - you just test it against observation until you're confident that the model is strong.

>If air is a privation which you all keep alluding to, then it literally "is not something".
But air is not a privation. It doesn't requires something else to define it. It's made of the stuff that literally defines it right now and we empirically showed it actually exists. Its explanation may be lacking, but it lacks nothing. You can now define it however you want, it has a physical nature to be defined.

If your argument is that "air is a privation of oxygen and hydrogen" then you literally don't even understand the point I am trying to make here and I don't think I can explain it to you in anymore detail. This has nothing to do with semantics, it has everything to do with figuring out "what it is". So before we argue over the meaning of words, lets first figure out if what we're assigning a word to even exists or not.
So please, for the love of god, show me or explain to me what space is. What is it made of? What is its mode of actually being something that does something in reality?

You would be best figuring out the answers to these questions if you tested it in a scientific experiment. Is it like air? It does has bits of hydrogen in it. Is it just a "lighter air"? I'm not saying that's what it is, but at least that definition actually gives me something to work with.

so then please show the "sensory data" of space. Also it's not just from "the senses", it is also from experimentation and comparison. Which is why I also have added, "test it in a scientific experiment". Preferably more than one. Then you will know without a doubt.

No, it literally is just the senses. Experimentation is used to take data and put it in a format that the senses can take in. We draw a graph to see a relationship, for example.
Empiricism IS using the senses, ALL science is taking data for the senses. You can't deny this either, it's literally what empiricism is as an epistemology.

>TEST ACTUAL "SPACE". NOT YOUR DEFINITION. I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DEFINITIONS, I CARE ABOUT SPACE

The thing in your mind that you're asking people to prove doesn't actually exist. Space is a model for the natural world, in the same way that 'F=ma' is a model for how different objects accelerate with a known force. The way you test these things is to compare the model against what you observe - and since we have no known 4D or 5D hammers, it's a pretty damn good model.

I think you have some fundamental misconceptions about how science works. Models are abstract concepts and not metaphysically the same thing as what actually exists, but they're useful tools for understanding nature by simplifying things and using quantifiable language.

If you don't believe me, here's John von Neumann's view on it:

"The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations, describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work—that is, correctly to describe phenomena from a reasonably wide area."

This is true for literally anything you learn empirically. What you perceive with your eyes is itself a model of what potentially doesn't exist. What you're grappling with here is the epistemological question of what science can 'prove' - and the answer is that it can't prove anything. You can only build more and more robust tools for understanding things that you do measure.

That is an unfortunate truth, but it's true no matter what. No better system exists.

>What is this phenomena you keep talking about though? What is "space" and how was it observed?

'Space' is a mathematical model for describing how things are distributed in the universe. It's not a thing that's made of fundamental particles or anything like that - it's an abstract concept. The observed phenomena is that things in our universe do appear to be positioned relative to each other in terms of three orthogonal dimensions. We never find an exception to that rule except when looking at relativistic effects that combine space and time into one 4D manifold.

>Tells me absolutely nothing about what the "sky" or the "ocean" actually is.

You aren't going to get some deep, metaphysical truth about what the fundamental nature of the universe is. Even if we define concepts like 'atoms' and 'Rayleigh scattering' to better understand how the sky works and why it is blue, those are still just models and can never be 'proven'.

It gets boring and is never going to answer my question. Either you know something or you don't, don't play pretend. So please test space in a scientific experiment and prove it exists.

Correct. A tool used to test what actually exists. So please test "space" in an experiment.

particles are also an abstract concept. Can you please use an example that has actually been proven to exist?

I'm sorry dude, but hard empiricism isn't how science works. Nobody buys into the idea that you can only trust things you see with your eyes.

I've given you a very patient and accurate description of how modern science attempts to better understand the natural world. 'Proofs' do not exist outside of pure mathematics, and nobody can give you 'proof' of space just like nobody can give you 'proof' of atoms. They are both models and abstract ideas.

>You are wrong.

I'm not though. You cannot be sure that things you see with your eyes are a perfect model of the real outside world beyond your skull. This is a philosophical concept that exists under literally hundreds of names - solipsism, subjectivity, Plato's cave, etc. You can make a simplified model by assuming that objects you observe are reflections of what actually exists - but you cannot prove that your assumptions are correct.

Science doesn't hide from these issues - nobody with a solid understanding of the philosophy of science would say that any experiment 'proves' anything. It just allows you to build a better model.

What you're asking for is some metaphysical description of what part of the universe gives you a 'space' with three orthogonal dimensions. There is no answer for that, and it's not a question that science is equipped to answer. It doesn't mean that 'space' is a hoax concept that should be thrown out - it just means that it's a model that describes an aspect of the Universe.

Let me reiterate: an experiment that 'proves' some metaphysical truth about what /is/ in the Universe is impossible. No such thing exists. If you can point me to an experiment that does that, then go ahead.

To the best of my abilities, i will attempt to prove what space is, with scientific experiments.

Firstly, take a string and marker. both are empirical objects. You can move up and down along the string with your marker to paint the string black (try it as an experiment if you don't believe me). The marker can only move up and down along the string to paint it black, as that is the only possible movements allowed to paint it black (try it). The marker thus moves along the string in one dimension (up and down along the string).

Space is defined as the degree of freedom which the marker (or any object actually) can move at. In this case, the marker can only move along one dimensional space (up and down the string).

Now, take a piece of paper and a marker. both are empirical objects. To colour the paper black, you can move either up and down or left and right with respect to the paper. (try it if you dont believe me) From this experiment, we can see that it takes more actions (aka degree of freedom) in colouring the entire paper black, as compared to the string.
More specifically, since we need 2 dimensions (up and down, left and right movements) to colour the entire sheet of paper black (for the side facing upwards on your table). This shows that whatever you are drawing on the paper occupies 2 dimensional space.

Moving on to our real physical world. We see that we can move forward & backward, left & right, up & down (try walking in a circle and then jumping to prove this). We have 3 degrees of freedom of motion, thus, as we defined what space is earlier, we can see that our real world IS in 3 dimensional space, as all objects in our real world can move up & down, left & right, forward & back.
While we cannot prove ALL objects follow this, but by repeating the experiment with different objects to see whether this applies and conducting a statistical test, we can be reasonably sure our real world is made up of 3 dimensional space where all objects can move at.

motion can only be defined when there is a medium for any object to move about (space). What is motion? motion does not exist as you cannot give me scientific experiments without using empirical objects that exist. motion is not an object. How could it exist?
To describe motion, you have to relate that ABSTRACT CONCEPT THAT WE INVENTED IN OUR MINDS CALLED MOTION to everyday objects! however, since we cannot do this as you said, (testing for motion by using IT itself, not test for it, test the actual motion), motion does not exist and isnt real!
However we can feel the effects of motion (try walking then running if you dont believe me but woops i cant convince you since im not testing motion itself, but using YOU, an empirical object to test for motion). Motion does not exist physically as an empirical object but it is useful in describing many scenarios.

Likewise the same argument goes for space. Space is just an abstract concept in our minds to model the real world to the best of our abilities. We ultimately cannot test space itself, but can only relate it to other actual physical objects.
So according to your beliefs, all abstract concepts are useless and dont exist (time, space, motion, force, energy, etc which are not useless btw) as they cannot be physically tested themselves, but can only be tested by relations to physical objects.
Now this makes all arguments useless then? since you are demanding concrete empirical evidence of abstract concepts which fundamentally cannot be done, so there is not much point in discussing this.

I think we should stop replying to schizoanon in his own thread, lol.

What schizoanon might have done to avoid everyone digging in against him is to show why he wants to show that empirical proof of space does not exist. This is an open debate according to wikipedia:

>Debates concerning the nature, essence and the mode of existence of space date back to antiquity; namely, to treatises like the Timaeus of Plato, or Socrates in his reflections on what the Greeks called khôra (i.e. "space"), or in the Physics of Aristotle (Book IV, Delta) in the definition of topos (i.e. place), or in the later "geometrical conception of place" as "space qua extension" in the Discourse on Place (Qawl fi al-Makan) of the 11th-century Arab polymath Alhazen.[2] Many of these classical philosophical questions were discussed in the Renaissance and then reformulated in the 17th century, particularly during the early development of classical mechanics. In Isaac Newton's view, space was absolute—in the sense that it existed permanently and independently of whether there was any matter in the space.[3] Other natural philosophers, notably Gottfried Leibniz, thought instead that space was in fact a collection of relations between objects, given by their distance and direction from one another. In the 18th century, the philosopher and theologian George Berkeley attempted to refute the "visibility of spatial depth" in his Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision. Later, the metaphysician Immanuel Kant said that the concepts of space and time are not empirical ones derived from experiences of the outside world—they are elements of an already given systematic framework that humans possess and use to structure all experiences. Kant referred to the experience of "space" in his Critique of Pure Reason as being a subjective "pure a priori form of intuition".

Not that anon but I'll have a go.

first let's define spacetime:
>spacetime refers to whatever external reality underlies our collective experiences of the space between things and the time between events.

The schizoanon won't be able to explain why a vacuum exists. What is a vacuum other than space devoid of matter?
Only space remains. So it is an interesting question whether this space that remains is either
>a thing in itself where there is no more matter
>appears as empty space because the distance between matter is big and the vacuum is actually part of the bordering continua
>there is a miraculous aether

I think empty space such as a vacuum must exist. In interstellar space there is approximately 1 molecule per cm3. So if you have two cubic centimeters next to each other, then what is there in between these two molecules if that is not empty space? There are no other molecules in between there.

So then one could go on and take the position that either space exists in itself or an aether exists. An aether is not necessary in the modern theory of physics, Ockham's rasor would suggest to reject the notion of an aether. The alternative to an aether is that space in itself is a physical concept and that empty space can exist (vacuum without medium such as an aether).

There is no evidence supporting an aether although it has not been disproven definitely. Aethers have been shown not to exist up $10^{-17}$ scales. See http://www.exphy.uni-duesseldorf.de/Publikationen/2009/Eisele%20et%20al%20Laboratory%20Test%20of%20the%20Isotropy%20of%20Light%20Propagation%20at%20the%2010-17%20Level%202009.pdf

Fun fact: the wiki about vacua says the following:
>Vacuum has been a frequent topic of philosophical debate since ancient Greek times, but was not studied empirically until the 17th century.
so shitzoanon has taken an old scientific debate and started shitposting with it. The flawed reasoning and closed mindedness make him a bit sad though.

Although he didn't ever stated that
>empirical proof of space does not exist.
He just keep begging for it like a 5yo for mommy and if you asked him to show evidence that anything exists, he either avoided it or used the same sloppy arguments you will find at showing evidence that anything exists. This is not a problem about space exactly, is more related to the methodology that can be used to considered something as evidence for any phenomena

>motion can only be defined when there is a medium for any object to move about (space).
How can you say that when you can't even define what space is? What if it is just the intermingling of motion itself? This is why I am asking for the proof of space.

>What is motion? motion does not exist as you cannot give me scientific experiments without using empirical objects that exist. motion is not an object. How could it exist?
It is the cause to empirical objects existing in the first place. No motion=no object. Why does it need space? This "space" is indistinguishable from the motion because there is no distinguishable proof of it.

>Space is just an abstract concept in our minds to model the real world to the best of our abilities.
>We ultimately cannot test space itself, but can only relate it to other actual physical objects.

HOW? IT DOESN'T EXIST. Illogical and literally impossible.

>since you are demanding concrete empirical evidence of abstract concepts which fundamentally cannot be done, so there is not much point in discussing this.
So space doesn't exist then?

>>11274465

>The schizoanon won't be able to explain why a vacuum exists. What is a vacuum other than space devoid of matter?

Can you please show me evidence of this absence devoid of matter?

>Only space remains.
So what is space? Obviously it's "something" right? It can't be "nothing", that is impossible.

>I think empty space such as a vacuum must exist. In interstellar space there is approximately 1 molecule per cm3. So if you have two cubic centimeters next to each other, then what is there in between these two molecules if that is not empty space? There are no other molecules in between there.

Are you saying that "nothing" exists? A contradiction.

Thanks for playing along and you lost your own debate.

If your only points are that "space" is "nothing" and you pretend to not even know what a vacuum is then you clearly conceded.

It wasn't my point, I was seeing if the clarification to someone else's point was logical.

>It is the cause to empirical objects existing in the first place.
define motion without resorting to it being a "privation of something else that actually exists". Is motion an object? is motion empirical? it doesnt exist.
>No motion=no object
Place an apple on the floor. Did it move? does it have motion? is it still there? (yes it is) This proves that no motion can still result in existence of objects and your argument is flawed.

>So space doesn't exist then?
Yes you finally got it. Space and other abstract concepts like motion do not exist, they are just physical models to describe reality, and they are not empirical objects to be tested. Thus, further arguments on how you can test space is meaningless, as you ultimately cannot test it.

No, you are saying that nothing exists. In the hypothetical scenario related to the real world out in space, even without particles between, there is still distance between objects. This distance can be identified in several ways such as through the diminishing intensity of light, or you know, a fucking meter stick. You are grinfucking your own contradictory argument into other peoples as if that is a correct way to converse. I wouldn't expect you to understand because you are still inexperienced enough to think line-by-line "refutations" are legitimate.

I don't know what led you to believe this. I am asking if that is what what was meant. I also literally said

>obviously it's "something" right? It can't be "nothing", that is impossible.

>In the hypothetical scenario related to the real world out in space, even without particles between, there is still distance between objects.

I don't think "distance" is something that does something. What is causing this apparent "distance"?

>This distance can be identified in several ways such as through the diminishing intensity of light.
So space is a medium that is filled with "less light"? Is is the absence of light?

>You are grinfucking your own contradictory argument into other peoples as if that is a correct way to converse.
I never had an argument to contradict. I am trying to make sure I understand the meaning of what had been said.

>I wouldn't expect you to understand because you are still inexperienced enough to think line-by-line "refutations" are legitimate.
I have not refuted anything nor am attempting to. I am asking for proof of something claimed to be refutable to begin with. If it isn't real or refutable then what exactly am I supposed to do? I obviously can't refute it, but that still doesn't make what you're talking about an actual subject to be talked about.

I was entertaining that posters idea that it's "space and motion". Why isn't it "just motion"? Where did the notion of space come from?

There are indeed "numbers of things", but so far "Space" is just in its own little world. Invented just to imagine about, like unicorns. It can't even be described with numbers because it is not "number". What is the quantity of space?

schizoanon has been shown many examples that space exists as the space between objects.

Since space is defined relative to objects you keep saying that
>space in itself
can not be proven. However that there is distance between objects is something that you always left undisputed. So just because your turbautismo requires you to keep asking for "empirical proof" (which you did not even define in your question and for which you keep shifting goalposts)
