Not to mention that anyone who disagrees with Cy is by definition less than Cy. Cy knows all things. ALL THINGS. If you doubt it just ask him.

He knows nothing. His constant return to buzzwords shows it.

As per usual you confuse your use of a word with what the word means.

Clearly I've demonstrated you don't have a clue if you don't know that a hypothesis like the Many Worlds is just a placeholder without any evidence yet.




Jesus you really can't stand being shown how ignorant of these topics you are, can you?

No, that is completely wrong. Many worlds is not a placeholder. You clearly are not familiar with it.

It is a fully developed scientific and philosophical interpretation of quantum mechanics, arrived at the by the methods of inference, deduction, thought experiment.

It just doesn't happen to be conventionally testable.


Schroedinger's cat is a thought experiment that is not a testable hypothesis, and never was intended to be one. It was a thought experiment intended to make philosophical and scientific insights about quantum mechanics.

Any person with a passing interest in science is aware that thought experiments, scientific ideas, inferences, philosophical interpretation, even when they are not testable, have played substantial roles in science.

 

[Cypress]

Your only cause is to try to impress people with your buzzwords!

That's really funny that you think the multiverse, string theory, the many worlds interpretation are just buzzwords

Argument of the Stone fallacy. Void argument fallacy.

It is a fully developed scientific and philosophical interpretation of quantum mechanics, arrived at the by the methods of inference, deduction, thought experiment.

String theory is not a theory of science.

It just doesn't happen to be conventionally testable.

Which is why it is not a theory of science.

Schroedinger's cat is a thought experiment that is not a testable hypothesis, and never was intended to be one. It was a thought experiment intended to make philosophical and scientific insights about quantum mechanics.

Schroedinger's cat is not a theory of science either. Pivot fallacy.

Any person with a passing interest in science is aware that thought experiments, scientific ideas, inferences, philosophical interpretation, even when they are not testable, have played substantial roles in science.

Science is not a 'thought experiment'. Science is not philosophy. Science is not a 'role'. There is no such thing as an untestable theory of science.

Buzzword fallacies. Illiteracy: Use of plural for singular.

Many Worlds is just a placeholder!!

I understand it would be very convenient for you to call it a 'placeholder' (which actually is a buzzword), but I never heard any reputable physicist call it the "Many Worlds Placeholder".

Physicists call Many Worlds an interpretation or hypothesis.

The Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics suggests that every time a quantum measurement occurs, the universe splits into multiple, parallel realities, or "worlds," where each possible outcome of the measurement becomes a separate reality. This interpretation eliminates the need for the observer-dependent wave function collapse, instead proposing that the entire universe, including observers, becomes entangled with the quantum system, leading to a split. ​

ftfy...You militant atheists demanded I demonstrate there are ideas, inferences, and hypotheses in science which aren't testable, and then you get mad when I give you the answer?

I generally only discuss that which I have a working knowledge of. If you are bothered by my knowledge, don't read my posts.

Feel free to research the board and verify that I almost always avoid discussions on the stock market, engineering, professional baseball, beer, the Federal Reserve, and drag queens - because I am not knowledgeable about them.

This is what a scientific placeholder is:

"DARK ENERGY"
"DARK MATTER"

These are placeholders.
Two of the leading scientific ideas to explain these placeholders are: vacuum energy (to explain dark energy), and weakly interacting massive particles - WIMPs (to explain dark matter)

 

[Cypress]

Schroedinger's cat is not a theory of science!

That's precisely the point, dummy. The field of science doesn't just contain theories that by definition have been tested.

Science also has thought experiments, scientific ideas, inferences, interpretations, intended to provoke thought, provide guidance, or acquire insights.

 

[Into the Night]

That's precisely the point, dummy.

Then why did you refer to it as 'science'??

The field of science doesn't just contain theories that by definition have been tested.

Yes it does.

Science also has thought experiments,

Thought experiments are not science.

scientific ideas,

Redundant

inferences,

Redundant

interpretations, intended to provoke thought, provide guidance, or acquire insights.

Science is not 'interpretations'.
Science is not a religion.

You are not discussing any theory of science.
Go learn what 'hypothesis' means.
Go learn what 'real' means and how it's defined.
There is no such thing as a 'quantum system' or a 'quantum split'.
Science does not use observations. Observations are subject to the problems of phenomenology.
Science is not data.

ftfy...You militant atheists

There is no such thing as a 'militant atheist'.

There is no theory of science that is untestable.

Buzzwords are not knowledge.

Random phrase. No apparent coherency.

"DARK ENERGY"

These are placeholders.

They are not placeholders at all. Buzzword fallacies.

Two of the leading scientific ideas to explain these placeholders are:

Science is not placeholders.

vacuum energy (to explain dark energy),

There is no such thing as 'vacuum energy'. Buzzword fallacy.

and weakly interacting massive particles - WIMPs (to explain dark matter)

Not a theory of science.

"Dark energy is often described as a placeholder term for the unknown cause of the universe's accelerating expansion, as scientists don't fully understand its nature."

I didn't say it was, dummy.

WIMPs is an idea, hypothesis, or framework that might explain dark matter.

Science is not a buzzword or a placeholder. What is 'accelerating'?? The universe has no known boundaries.

You have a serious problem either with lying or hallucinations, don't you?
Screaming at me in ALL CAPS is another hallmark of mental illness.

I explicitly went out my way to call WIMPs an idea to explain dark matter
