Re: Metaphysical musings and what-ifs about unobservable events may be fun

I agree, but there apparently exists a fine line.
Prediction through calculation produces unobservable events or conditions of existence.
I think it's more a case of 'knowing your science forum'.
I was recently looking at Physics forums QM section.
A poster asked for confirmation that, in the two photon entagled experiment, one photon would change its state if the other photon changed its state...... regardless of distance.
This was confirmed by a top member.
So the OP concluded that "communication outside the realm of space and time exists".
This conclusion is highly logical..... how can one photon 100 light years away react to the changed state of the other.
Result..... the thread was immediately closed.
Yet on the very next thread, all sorts of theoretical musings were presented on 'what is observation'.
Many of which appeared ridiculous.
Yet no complaints.
From this, it is clear that 'discussion of science' has boundaries, that change with mob, or tribal values.
You need to know where you are at, and what bollocks the rest of the chaps are prepared to put up with :D
