Sorry guys, (found myself out of my depth so went GFGI-ing) found the above and started reading.
Now with a bit more understanding I am wondering to what purpose is the thread Knight?? What course are you studying? And further, is anything we are saying helpful??
As to the replies so far I am wondering why persons are (arguing from a metaphysical stand point) so quick to denounce those that are applying physical reasoning when asked to provide proof; understanding that "proof" here is physical. Proof from a metaphysical PoV will never come because by definition it is Meta(beyond) the physical.
So having said all that nonsense......what is the question Knight??
