To save your ignore-ance)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The importance of a theory is that it allows us to know what we cannot know.
Here's a prime example. If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there does it make a sound? The answer is WE DO NOT KNOW! But in theory, it does.
Here's another prime example. After all the stars go out of sight and the particles turn to mite, will the arrow of time reverse? The answer is, WE DO NOT KNOW! But in theory, it will!
That is the importance of a theory, and how it allows us to know what we cannot know. Sound impossible? Well so are you!
Man, if Kurt Godel were here I would shake his hand. Then I might be inclined to give him a good slapping.
He said, "there is one thing in the universe that we know we cannot know. But we don't know what it is."
Well I have figured out what it is children. It is verisimilitude. It is one thing divided by nothing baby.

The number in mathematics that we have so feared, but which will liberate our understanding about our misunderstanding. It is the one impeccable value that is consistently in contradiction of itself! It is the absolute greatest morale, the love/hate relationship, the cosmic bittersweet irony. It is second to none, and opposite to nothing. It is becoming what it is becoming.
Don't ask me how I know, because to know that, I would have to know how I got here to begin with. Did you send me? Or was it you who banned me? Alas, I know so much, and mystery still befuddles me.
So do we know or do we not know "it" all? Goddamnit, is it defined or is it undefined? It's the Axiom of Choice baby!
And If Ernst Zermelo were here I'd shake his hand too.
peace
