- Dear UFO ( unidentified-filosofer-orator),
- if you know your science, you should avail yourself the pleasure of telling
- the offending thinker, where the errors are. It's a matter of courtesy.
-
- >> In science, a hypothesis is considered false until sufficient
- >> evidence is available to support it.
-
- Since collecting of evidence is a process, what do you do, when observing
- its course, and it flows in accord with the hypothesis? What about instances,
- in which such a process stops 3/4 of the way? Shouldn't you try to reactuate
- the experiment, at your earliest opportunity?
-
- >> Rarely, if ever, is anything considered
- >> "proven." Instead, the strength of a hypothesis is tested, and the results
- >> of the test are evaluated in terms of some statistical probability of their
- >> correctness.

- In my ancient Science-Art thesis we find supporting modules, which directly
- invoke scientific geometry. We find intricate positions, whose construction
- requires considerable knowledge, and extensive planning.
- There is a whole number of such modules.
- They are all tied together thematically.
- There is no way to force those specific modules upon random positions.
- Some parts of the thesis, such as the Frame exist as one out of sextillions
- directly possible permutations!
- We cannot expect even a small part of all those possible permutations to make
- some sort of deeper sense.
- In contrast, the Frame deals with fundamental subjects of the Pi and Phi ratios!

- In short, I found the most wildly improbable fossil, but it looks perfect!
- The onus has shifted. You have to prove the fake a fake.
-
- The burden of 'proof' is therefore on the proposer of far-out

- >> them to do. If the evidence for the faces on Mars becomes strong

- >> reality will be accepted. If strong supporting evidence is not forthcoming,
- >> they won't. Personally, my money would be on the latter possibility.
-
- That is not true in presence of my thesis!
- You don't have to go to Mars. Go to my pages! Do you know that one of your
- friends has accused my evidence of being Too Precise?
- Go and count my theorems! They are like stars..

- Alien math is just as boring..
