We have learned through experiments in classical physics, chemistry and biology that things are correlated and we have made predictions based on this that have been reliably accurate when looking at those things in that context. But, the way I see it, this is metaphorically like knowing what's written in the first section of a book. I may have only memorized what's written on the first few pages while you may have memorized the first chapter. Neither of us can claim we know the whole of the book. We also don't know if what we've concluded based on the first section is going to be an accurate conclusion once we've read chapter 3 or 4.Taking your analogy, you were introduced to characters Bob and Jane in the first few pages. Then you claim that Bob and Jame might hook up later. The rest of us that read the first chapter know that Bob was killed which started a man hunt. So we're pointing out that you are wrong. And your retort is that he magically comes back in the 3rd of 4th chapter. Hence, we call

Quote:That's the way I feel about the topic we're referring to. Claims that I don't understand physics are silly, because really, if we're generalizing all of physics, neither do you. Quantum physics, astrophysics, all those unknowns... Simply skimming the beginning of the metaphorical 'chapter 2' is leading me to assume there is a lot more, a lot, lot more that we have yet to experience and learn. And yes, I do think that "consciousness" is going to be a big part of this.You are correct we don't know everything about physics, but we can still know certain things will not occur. Lets take gravity for example, Newton's gravity model worked great for centuries, and got us to the moon and back. However, Einstein proved it completely wrong. So did apples started to fall up, no. Newton's theory was ~99% accurate, Einstein's general relativity is ~99.99% accurate. The next theory to replace Einstein's will have to be ~99.9999% accurate. Some of your physics claims are analogous to apples fall up.
