I can't paint sound green, does that mean noise is immaterial?
Quantity is only what humans have invented in order to easily organize and recognize patterns in a certain way. Quantity is just one of a million methods by which human brains perceive and process patterns in nature. It doesn't exist as an ethereal concept in nature that humans magically tap into.
Quote:Anyway, does quantity exist outside of our minds? You say its a method, so is it based within that which is outside of us (not that we can't understand ourselves, but lets just stick with experience)? If it is all in our heads, you cannot say that the quantity of the force between car A as it hit car B affects anything. There isn't actually force there because force, a quantity, is only in our mind. Quantity must be outside of the mind.
