Do You Have a Pet Theory?

If I can ever figure it out, I sure will !

Fear not, a deity is where you find it. And I don't care if it's last name is Theory or Force or Gaia.

Back in the day a similar book came out called if I recollect "The Dancing Wu Li Masters".

Excellent read and as solid as any other popularized science writing.

It's all quite simple really......

"Now what is the message there? The message is that there are known "knowns." There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns"

I cannot believe you typed all that

I actually wonder, given each discovery spawns multiple new unknowns, whether as our knowledge expands, if our ignorance (known unknowns and unknown unknowns) doesn't expand faster?

And if one were to try to answer the question at any given time - "What do we know about a given field" that the roadmaps are fuzzy indeed.

One of the intimidating things about ever going back to mathematics - I know I didn't know much when I graduated with a Bachelor's, but I fear what I don't know has expanded beyond my ability to even map it.

What about the unknown knowns? The things you know but you don't know that you know them until someone explains them.

After all how many times have you said, or you heard someone say, "I should have known!"

Ya know what I mean?

Jim's "Ernest goes to,,,,,Jail, Camp, etc." are some of the best slapstic comedy movies you'll ever see.

I don't know that I don't know what I don't know when I don't know it.

what about the unknown knowns? There are tons of things I don't know that I know until suddenly I remember... 'hey, I know that!'

I know what you mean, Hairlesssimian. Oops, that's a newly known noun now!

You recollect correctly, I found 'Holographic Universe' a much easier read than 'Dancing Wu Li Masters' (which I still haven't finished, it just sits on my shelf gathering dust... poor thing) and there is another similar title 'The Tao of Physics' which I also have not yet finished reading but sits neglected on the shelf too (of course at the moment my 'shelves' are boxes thus making it even harder to read their contents)

I agree, deity IS where you find it, and we all DO make our own realities... within certain un-identified parameters... Just don't drink the kool-aid unless you truly believe in the 'salvation' of red dye #3.

Get the hamsters on generating treadmills and power the cities.

Cats would be more efficient.

Cats are more powerful, but unwilling.

I had a friend decide she was going to harness her cat for walks - a leash.

Never got past the putting it on stage - cat rolled over and acted possessed until with much rending of flesh (mine), I removed it.

Please keep your hands clear of the shredding machine at all times...

And this one -

And there is another! -
