Sorry, but it's already been demonstrated that humans could not live in a dimension with substantially different physical laws; this is the weak anthropic principle.

and again tomorrow that theory could be proven wrong

but I'm sure there's no end 😄

Witness! The incredible dullness of conversations about philosophical scepticism...

hehe go ush 😄

Even worse, ones when people really don't know what is being talkesd about...

Or pehaps not, because if you DO know what is being talked about, the conversation dead ends, and I tend to fall into a coma...

I know I agreed to disagree, but even forgetting the overall point of the thread, I feel compelled to disagree with this specific statement. Speaking as someone who is studying mathematics, it simply doesn't make sense. You can always add 1 to a number and get another number. The reason for this is that numbers do not have an objective existance; they are a human construct, and must obey the mathematical laws we set down. For a number to disobey our understanding of mathematics would imply that numbers exist outside of mathematics; they do not.

And so, having said his piece, he disappears into the night.

maybe, but if you look at numbers like that than they are only an illusiona and are not real

Not an illusion exactly; they are a valid way to interpret reality, but, being a way to interpret reality, they are meaningless without an interpreter.

true, therefor to someone who doesn't understand our system they meaning nothing

Much as I hate to encourage this...

No matter what logical point you put forwards Gregory, Fire's point stands. You could be mistaken and not not realise it. The basis of the sceptical hypothesis is that there is virtually nothing that a person can be totally certain is so.

oooh Ush agrees wiv me 😄

anywayz ush if you dont like this debate you don't have to read it

I think me and greg are both enjoying ourselves, altho it's kinda tiring
