From your experiences alone, you don't. And a group of experiences still doesn't prove it.
Quote:Because the experience was in my own being and then experienced through my mind, I cannot make an argument out of it. Most people don't fully understand the equation E=Mc2, but Einstein did, he experience the equation within himself, in his mind, and then he had to try and put that into an equation. We can read as much as we like about this equation, but if its not fully realized within we will never truly understand it, we would just be parroting what Einstein truly understood.How do you know noone else understood or understands E=mc^2 as well or even better than Einstein? You don't, and you can't just claim it to be so. Isn't the proof that someone understands E=mc^2 is when they can explain it to others or use the equations to produce something that works?
No, they can refine their knowledge of the equation, they can study it for a life time, but they will never truly know what it is, and this goes for just about everything we know as humans.
