Odd that these replies are not about my actual rebuttal of the OP. — Banno
But logic, as an aspect of the human mind, is an abstraction. Like numbers. Like justice, or law, or religion. These are abstractions of the mind that become part of the real world only through common agreement. Social truths, as in Searle's idea of the Construction of Social Reality. — fishfry
I pointed out that modern physics doesn't seem to be well described by classical logic. — fishfry
That's of course not the same as saying that modern physics is illogical — Banno
There can be no contradiction in reality — litewave
what is consistent about non-locality? — Hachem
But do you mean to say that in reality there can be a thing that is not identical to itself? — litewave
I'm at a loss to understand why you would ask me that question based on anything I wrote in this thread. Care to explain?
The validity of the law of identity is a subject worthy of its own thread. But I said nothing about it here. — fishfry
I thought you disagreed with my statement — litewave
Apparently my pointing out that classical sentential calculus is a poor tool for modeling modern physics has triggered a lot of people. I thought it was rather self-evident. — fishfry
I claim that reality can contain no contradiction in the classical logic sense — litewave
What are the inconsistencies in physics? Specifically. Realy interested. — Banno
We do know that contemporary theories of physics can not be incorporated into a single noncontradictory framework. — fishfry
Out of curiosity, what's your evidence for your claim? Or even a plausibility argument? — fishfry
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
