Really? How big are they, how hot are they and how dense are they?
Richard Feynman:
"If you think you understand singularities, you don't understand singularities.". or he may have said something like that...
As for the rest of that rammel; where is bennyboy. what have you done with his body?
I swear to fuck this place is getting dafter by the day.
Look at my religious description. I know that they are impenetrable to us, which is why I say that there is evidence that there are some questions science cannot answer.
That is what I know about singularities-- that they present an area of unknowability!

You were the one who responded to posts about science with discussions about empiricism.

You've been going on about empiricism vs. science, or whether science can be done individually. Even if you define science in that way, it can't answer the questions I mentioned.Science is a form of empirical investigation. There is no "empiricism vs science".
Science as we mean it today is an empirical method with specific bounds: e.g. that observations can be shared with others independent of interpretation and without regard to world view. You are the one who keeps trying to talk about empiricism in general. My thesis was that there are some questions science cannot answer. That's all it ever was.
In response to your constant harping about empiricism (which I take as deliberate since you are responding to me, and I was always talking about science), then I've given that you could include other kinds of empiricism, like introspective insight, in the definition of science if YOU want to. And even if you did-- there would still be questions science couldn't answer.
