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.
Quote:If you know about singularities, and take them to be informative.....your previous comments would appear to be uninformed on their face. Rather than demonstrate that science cannot answer a question or has not answered a question or won't answer a question.... you've determined that it has.Quote:Why, and how would you know that?Because I know about singularities.
If something comes up which contradicts or supersedes physics as we currently understand it, then I reserve the right to amend my opinion. But as things stand right now, we have good reason to believe that some limits cannot be transcended, and that any question which requires the transcension of those limits will remain unanswered.
I suppose it may not have answered the question to your satisfaction, but that's not going to get us very far, and again persuasively argues that the source and limits of knowledge are both empirical?
