Hi Luis,

So, I guess we are going to have this discussion on this forum? That's okay, but it will be 'lost' in the archives in about 2 weeks.

>>>The assertion has been made that numbers are an inherent part of reality. That is to say, numbers are prescriptive of reality. I disagree. It is my position that mathematics is merely a descriptive device.

No particles are identical? - yanniru - August 27, 2001 - 14:56 UTC
- Nope - luis_hamburgh - August 29, 2001 - 02:17 UTC
  - PARTICLES are identical (position is different). - alexander - August 29, 2001 - 02:52 UTC
    - Who's side are you on, anyway? - luis_hamburgh - August 29, 2001 - 03:21 UTC
      - Numbers are pattern conservations - dolphin - August 30, 2001 - 07:09 UTC
        
        Please separate electron from space (position). - alexander - August 30, 2001 - 22:57 UTC
        
        An electron without including position is not fully differentiat - dolphin - August 31, 2001 - 07:50 UTC
        
        Incorrect. All electrons are exactly the same. - alexander - August 31, 2001 - 17:13 UTC
        
        Then how can you put an 's' on electron? - dolphin - September 1, 2001 - 04:48 UTC
    - 'whose' - luis_hamburgh - August 29, 2001 - 03:21 UTC
I think math is a mere human invention - paulm - August 27, 2001 - 16:48 UTC
- Did Pithagorean theorem exist before Pithagoras? - alexander - August 27, 2001 - 17:34 UTC
  - No, it didn't. - paulm - August 27, 2001 - 23:22 UTC
    - Incorrect. Of course, a^2+b^2=c^2 well before Pithogoras.. - alexander - August 28, 2001 - 19:36 UTC
      - Numbers: tricks, or real? - luis_hamburgh - August 29, 2001 - 03:02 UTC
        
        Again incorrect: math never fails, humans do. - alexander - August 31, 2001 - 02:48 UTC
        
        Black holes and progress in understanding math. - alexander - August 31, 2001 - 02:52 UTC
  - Yep - reality - August 29, 2001 - 00:44 UTC
- Have you switched views? - harvey1 - August 27, 2001 - 18:20 UTC
  - No, I haven't. - paulm - August 28, 2001 - 00:18 UTC
    - I'm a little puzzled - harvey1 - August 28, 2001 - 02:21 UTC
      - Don't worry; we are all puzzled. - paulm - August 28, 2001 - 15:34 UTC
        
        So you are not a platonist - harvey1 - August 28, 2001 - 17:46 UTC
Where do I mention logic? - luis_hamburgh - August 29, 2001 - 02:11 UTC
- Causality and math - harvey1 - August 29, 2001 - 23:34 UTC
  - Just have a moment... - luis_hamburgh - August 30, 2001 - 18:05 UTC
