What is /sci/'s take on the work of American physicist, and philosopher at the Colorado School of Mines, Joseph D. Sneed (September 23, 1938 - February 07, 2020)?
Personally his book "The Logical Structure of Mathematical Physics", published in 1971, changed my life but I'm wondering if /sci/ really pays that much attention to literature in philosophy of science; after all, it was his work in philosophy of physics which really shook things up in the academic world, especially his founding of the structural theory of the empirical sciences (which I subscribe to) and his influence on Wolfgang Stegmuller and Thomas Kuhn, who he himself was originally influenced by.

What happens if we point it to Earth instead? Would it be able to see bacteria here?
When i suck at it at a, i can place a thin paper piece on b or c and it will stick.
If i blow on a it it will push the paper away on c or b.
According to the "official" explanation when i suck on it there is subpressure inside the straw and the air around the openings push the paper onto the tube. However, consider this:
Both in the blow example and the suck case there is simply air blowing past the bottom of the upstanding pipe. In both cases there is less pressure at one of the horizontal end points. So what is the difference? The sucktion and blowing!
To reiterate. If i suck on a, there is subpressure at a. If i blow on a, there is subpressure at b. If vacuum didnt have any "suction power" you should see air getting sucked in from blowing on a because there is less pressure when the air is moving past the tower!
