Quote from: paul cotter on 03/06/2024 17:38:31That is precisely why I used such an example. This being a science forum we are interested in science, not philosophy. Water will affect fire but that does not mean they are related, one being a material and the other a combustion phenomenon. Similarly gravity affects em radiation but they are NOT related. I bring the discussion from my other thread, so we can go deeper on technical issues. How do you explain positive result in my electrodynamic balance experiments?

This quote, "Everyone knew it was impossible, until a fool who didn't know came along and did it," is often mistakenly attributed to Albert Einstein. There's no evidence he actually said it [Quote Investigator].The saying likely originated anonymously and has been circulating for some time.

To seriously challenge standard theories one need explicit and extensive understanding of the subject matter-
Statements cannot originate anonymously (everyone has a name) but are often quoted as such.
Sharing the secrets to productive learning, backed by neuroscience. Dr Lila Landowski explains the methods which can be used to allow us to learn faster. Dr Lila Landowski is a multi-award winning neuroscientist and lecturer that expertly arms people with an understanding of how their brain works, to help them make better choices in their lives. She is also a Director of the Australian Society for Medical Research, a Director of Epilepsy Tasmania, as well as a regular guest expert science communicator for the ABC. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
You have to go to university to study physics. Or do you? Is there any way to self-teach, to study physics without having to study physics?Content:0:00 Intro - Could you?1:42 It?s crazy how much you could do4:11 It?s important to understand you need others7:25 Still, could you do it?
?Adam: A Method for Stochastic Optimization? ? is one of the most highly cited papers ever published. Moreover, this paper was written in 2014 by two PhD students!

We often get into arguments with one another for millions of different reasons, but how often do we genuinely change the other persons mind? Most times, facts don't change minds. But if facts don't change minds, what does?
Are you searching for ways to change someone's mind to your way of thinking or methods to convince someone to your opinion? One of the things that we frequently try to do, but almost always fail is to change someone's opinion. We are so bad that, to a point, our relationships with our friends and family gets spoiled just because we are really bad at convincing the other person about our ideas and a opinions. In this video I am going to share with you how to change someone?s mind in a much easier way.1) Never turn the conversation into an argument2) Never say that you are wrong3) Get the other person saying "Yes" as soon as possible4) Let them talk a lot!5) Let them think their idea is theirs
Why do arguments change people?s minds in some cases and backfire in others? Hugo Mercier explains how arguments are more convincing when they rest on a good knowledge of the audience, taking into account what the audience believes, who they trust, and what they value.
