Very Nice Lynn! More proof that when you hang out/around or converse with Bucket- it's a slippery slope! And unfortunately, sloping in the wrong direction! Now if you would just ban him - as I've asked your admins repeatedly - then life would be better- well I think it would be better.

Karl Popper said there were only two types of scientific theories. Those proven to be untrue and those yet to be proven untrue. Makes sense.

If I was to truly pit Einstein's Aristotelian principles of knowledge against opposite views, I would offer the priciples of knowledge that physicists Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg and others developed. Einstein challenged these principles in what is often called the Bohr-Einstein debates. The debates were also referred to as Einstein's challenges against the standard or Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics.

How Bohr and Heisenberg reached their conclusions is over my head, but if their conclusions are right, then I think my forum entry stands its ground right up to and including the last paragraph. If you research Bohr's complimentarity principle, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and quantum indeterminism in general, you may conclude, like many Nobel prize winners in physics have concluded, that observation and measurement of phenomena, even at the macroscopic level, may remain eternally enigmatic. Einstein's most profound argument against indeterminacy may have been that he believed that God did not play dice.
