Is it logical to use logic in a illogical universe?
#24
RE: Is it logical to use logic in a illogical universe?
I get logic, I'm just asking for a way more interesting thought experiment than the one OP.
For instance, what if he meant logic worked fine because God guaranteed it? And stopped?
Or until the day aliens showed up and told us they could see a flaw in our sums, and it only ever appeared to work?
Or as in the Hook Affair, where logic (or rather geometry here) couldn't be expressed in some region of this or any other universe?
