The problem is that my equation is not valid unless the entire universe is included (i.e., absolutely all relevant information is expressed in terms of those numerical labels we have indexed) and that makes the issue non trivial.

I'd like a T-shirt with that:
"...and G0d spoke:"
\sum_q \frac{\partial}{\partial x_q}\vec{\psi} = 0
"...and there was light."

"But it is not a statement about reality; it is a statement about your expectations, quite another matter."
...no pun intended, I'm sure....

It is a nice statement that I hope to share with others who seek to help people "get a handle on" or define important, but commonly used words like "fact, truth, theory, and law."

"But it is not a statement about reality; it is a statement about your expectations [which are limited to your perceptions, and by your preconceptions], quite another matter."

Is that fair?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
