I have no idea how you can say this.  In a right triangle, does the square of the hypotenuse equal the sums of the squares of its two sides?  Is that true or not?  And, if you say that such is only a "product of the human mind," when did this truth (if, it is, true) come into being?  Are you saying that the planets of our solar system started going around the Sun in ellipses only after Kepler discovered those orbits?  If so, what were the planets doing prior to Kepler & Galileo?



Well interesting thought. Its been proven on a quantum level that reality doesn't exist until its measured. Bob
