Shecky:
That's nice. I've studied formal logic, epistemology and physics. And the physics of the "biozone" (i.e., the conditions that support human life, including the class of star, the composition of the planet, the disposition of its stellar system, the physical placement, the rotational period and many, many other things) has such a narrow window of viability that it is highly unlikely that the period of said planet's revolution will vary more than a few percent. Even at a variance of 5%, that comes to one year in twenty. One.
--- Quote from: Exitao on November 23, 2009, 11:02:40 PM ---It's fine to have a working hypothesis without evidence to support it, but you have to have some evidence to dispute valid criticisms. I've pointed out that there is nothing in the books to justify the belief that years will measure the same, that the laws of probability inform us that this is exceedingly unlikely.
I've explained it well enough, the logic behind my criticism is sound. If you have no actual evidence to refute it with, then you have to accept that the hypothesis is flawed or come up with proof.

The burden of refutation is, again, on you. Physicists have been disagreeing with you for quite a long time, and they have proof. You can research it on your own at your leisure, but until you've studied orbital mechanics, geology and a number of other pertinent fields (took me a number of years), or until you decide to be willing to listen to people who've heard people who know what they're talking about in that field, your "hypothesis" has no logical value.
Priscellie:
At this point, it's clear neither of you is going to convince the other. I declare this length of an Aleran year discussion over.

Psht. Thread's dead for four days, even more than a Certain Someone was able to rise from, yet YOU necro it... to say it's dead? *blinks* Deity-level logic is mind-blowingly inhuman. :D
Priscellie:
I am not beholden to your trifling mortal logic. What your feeble brains fail to grasp of my divine plan is your failing, not my own. Be grateful to have glimpsed the goddess in her divine arbitration, and question not her motives!

Fine. As long as there are crepes in it for me at some point, you got it. :D
