Science: If we can't work out what light really is, then we most certainly have zero understanding of dark. Especially in the realms of matter. And if we have no true understanding of space and time, then technically our reality isn't really what we think it is. So I'm having a bit of a 'what is real' existential meltdown this morning!
- And yet. Here we are. Light and dark and everything in between, living the full reality our lives day to day as time passes.monospaced
- And only through the scientific process will we find the answers we seek as there is no alternative to reaching any meaningful conclusionsmonospaced
- haha. thanks man. Everything is alright again nowIanbolton

- LOL those moments. thoughts like this made me research and study quantum mechanics a lot for the last 20 yrs. ;) recommended.renderedred
- This is what acid was made forGnash
- ^yup, acid is a good startrenderedred
- The Science is Settled! Stop studying and start screaming!BustySaintClaire
- Get back to work you hippies!eryx
- Thing thing is, BusySaintIgnorant, the science is never settled, it just refines our understanding.monospaced
- Science is all great and what not, but these kind of things strengthen my belief in a creator. I was thinking about rainbows the other day, apart from theBeeswax
- scientific explanation, the universal beauty created by these phenoms is unexplainable.And they are not there through a gradual learning process as in evolutionBeeswax
- they just happen to exist with all their simple yet complex beauty.Beeswax
- Science tells us that the beauty we see in plants and animals are a byproduct of the survival instincts of species.Beeswax
- Yet a fucking rainbow doesn't need to invent a 7 color spectrum to save its existence.Beeswax
- The whole “we can’t explain it so it must be god” argument is not rational or acceptable. This can’t possibly support a creator.monospaced
- And rainbows aren’t complex. Just light wave frequencies scattered by the prisms of water in the atmosphere. We only perceive the rainbow although there’s more.monospaced
- Beauty itself is nothing more than a human concept. It isn’t inherent or meaningful beyond what you attribute to it. It’s just the light spectrum.monospaced
- there's no virtue in the beauty of nature. It just exists, whether we see it or not.Ianbolton
- And although game theory makes some form of argument into the idea we can rationalise nature, I still think we're a long way of understanding consciousnessIanbolton
- Rainbows are pretty therefore there is a god is the sweetest argument I've heard for the existence of god.deadsperm
- That, and banging virgins for all eternityGnash
- looking at the world from a fluorescent lit white walled lab surely diminished some perception. dude explains me how rainbows are formed and rests his case lol.Beeswax
- excuse me?monospaced
- you implied there was some unexplainable beauty that is so complex that it is probably from a supernatural being (none specified of course).monospaced
- only problem is that it's not complex, it's not unexplainable, and there's no evidence of any supernatural being, nor is there objective beauty in itmonospaced
- aka, there is no "universal beauty" because you just made that up, they happen to exist by the most basics of fundamental physics ... I rest my case. Your turn.monospaced
- evolution isn't a gradual learning process either, but whatevs...monospaced
- evolution isn't a gradual learning process... what is an example you are thinking of?deathboy
- example of what?monospaced
