I'm asking for facts, hope doesn't come into it.
> ...our mental model is asymptotically converging
Which is not what I'm picking up, so have you any evidence to change my mind? TIA
- FredPret 3y agoIf you're able to look at the modern world and all it's marvels - none of which are possible without a testable and provable understanding of an increasing fraction what's out there - and you'd still rather be down in the dumps, there's no amount of evidence anyone can offer that would change your mind.
- _a_a_a_ 3y agoHave you any evidence of quantum and relativistic theories converging? If so, please point. I'm unaware of any.
- FredPret 3y agoNobody claimed that these two theories are converging. I said our overall mental model of reality is converging with reality. We're zeroing in on the truth. One day that might include a unified theory.

Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity do not agree so at least one must be incorrect yet both are widely if not completely accepted. You (FredPret) responded > We're certainly zero-ing in on the truth though, which is extremely exciting I had to read that as you implying closing in on some resolution of QM with relativity. Hence my confusion.
