You just admitted that charge symmetry, parity symmetry, and time-reversal symmetry are incomplete. I'm quite sure that the old mental models which held those to be absolute did "fall."
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoYou seem to want to play "gotcha" games with my wording. I admitted far less than you seem to want to make my words say. And if you're going to try to manipulate what I said to make it fit the axe you're trying to grind, then I'm done talking to you.
- stcredzero 8y agoYou seem to want to play "gotcha" games with my wording. It's not a game. You ironically committed the Map/Territory error, in a Map/Terriotry discussion. A condition of underlying reality where a given symmetry exists, or only appears to exist, can't fall. It either is or isn't. But the mental model -- the Map -- using symmetry can indeed be shown to be false and fall. And if you're going to try to manipulate what I said to make it fit the axe you're trying to grind, then I'm done talking to you. I did no such manipulation. I bet you can't substantiate that with reasoning and quotes. In any case, I am well satisfied to let 3rd parties read and decide for themselves. (Ironic in the Alanis Morrisette sense, not the hipster sense.)
