Dr Hyper Foible said.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The existence of theory has never been in doubt, as there have always been theories for everything. \u00a0Progress in science has always provided better and better theory too, proving that conclusively, and so explaining where all our information comes from.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s been admitted there might also be a physical world with its own causes and consequences as the source of some of our information too. \u00a0It has long been claimed by renegade scientists such as the odd stand-out on the question, False Henshaw.<\/p>\n<p>Mr False, as everyone knows him, finally made his little point before being laughed off the dais at the \u201cWonderful world of science\u201d meetings this month. \u00a0 Everyone knew it was the to be the mother of all meetings, called to celebrate \u201cthe end of nature as we\u2019ve known it\u201d. \u00a0 It caused a small commotion though, arousing the sleepy audience by pointing out that: &#8220;we all still do believe in reality, whatever science has ever had to say about it in theory&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Just as he concluded his remarks \u201ctouch\u00e9\u201d rang out among all the exhausted house staff. \u00a0The the rude outburst then caught on, and became a pandemonium in the hall, repeated and then retracted by the whole assuming assembly, suddenly aroused by the commotion and all very eager to agree with each other.<\/p>\n<p>When control of the meeting was restored to proper authority it was noted wittily that the assembly had indeed been unable to distinguish between what may have been a sneeze or the word \u201ctouch\u00e9\u201d which may have set off the panic.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, it was apparent that no one could tell if it was information or not that had set off the embarrassing unanimous admission. \u00a0Being thus evident, the possibility that lacking information might prove very little had to be briefly conceded to, as a technicality, before sweeping Mr. False off the stage and removing his credentials.<\/p>\n<p>pfh<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A bit\u00a0tongue\u00a0in cheek about a serious subject. \u00a0 It&#8217;s following from\u00a0my comment to Dot Earth about how all the climate mitigation plans do actually allow for a\u00a0mysteriously\u00a0silly expectation that reducing CO2\u00a0could\u00a0be funded by an economy causing all other economic impacts to endlessly multiply. ++++ Dateline: No York Times 5\/12\/10 Scientists admit to physical world Scientists &hellip;
