>>11219440>Fields are made of stuffThe same stuff that all these "waves" you all keep talking about are made of?
>>11219443>Quantitatively by what metric of real measurement? By the one you arbitrarily make up, just like the rest of them.
>>11219536>but its already passed peer review and been published >you should try quantifying it yourself if you think it doesn't work outyes only in peer review does something that is know to be completely imaginary turn into something that is
>>11219193>GR is a theory that is confirmed to be very accurate. learn what GR says and then you might be able to interpret it so you can form your understanding of "why" things it implies happen.>blueberries are indeed blue, they are also round and are predicted to be blue and round for as long as they remain "blueberries" because we measured a bunch of them and made a standard of measure based off them. What causes the blueberry to be round and blue and why is irrelevant though, but you can use our fancy descriptions as a starting point to figure out this question we should be figuring out.>but ultimately, the theories are what is true and asking "why" is just an exercise in making english explanations for how to think about the sterile math that constitutes the empirically-confirmed mathematical theoriesThe kids can only describe a blueberry, but they cannot explain the cause of it, which is what OP asked for.
>>11219329The cause son, the cause. Descriptions are not the cause of anything
>>11219335Okay class, these two coherent clumps of mass accelerate towards each other. What masses are they?
1. Magnets
2. Celestial bodies
3. Both
Both? Well what would be the difference then?
>well one is a more coherent mass than the other. So the form of the matter is the only difference? It's still exhibiting the same action though.
>no because magnets only affect "magnetic" things.But everything IS affected by magnetism. Could it just be incoherent magnetism?
