What are we talking about ? == a) We don't know what 'virtual particles' are, b) we don’t know what electron is, c) we don't know what water is, d) we don't know what entropy is, e) we don’t know what inertia is . . . . .etc ========. a) The concept of virtual particles are . . . 'an approximation scheme' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_particle
b) why electron has six (6) formulas and many theories ? Nobody knows. c) "Water is still not fully understood, although it is the basis of our existence. I expect more surprises to be discovered in the future." / SLAC scientist Anders Nilsson. / # "In my view, the work on water is yet another example of the actual complexity of matter, this time within a simple liquid. Modern X-ray work appears to be triggering a new understanding of liquids and we may have only seen the beginning of a paradigm shift in our understanding." / Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory director Jo Stöhr. / http://phys.org/news134058290.html -- June 30, 2008 d) Entropy. 1. Henry Poincare named the conception of "entropy " as a " surprising abstract ". 2. Lev Landau (Dau) wrote: " A question about the physical basis of the entropy monotonous increasing law remains open ". 3. Nobel laureate in chemistry 1909 Wilhelm Ostwald wrote that the entropy is only a shadow of energy. 4. The mathematician John von Neumann said to "the father of information theory" Claude Shannon: " Name it "entropy" then in discussions you will receive solid advantage, because nobody knows, what "entropy" basically is ". e) Inertia. Someone wrote: “An old professor of mine used to say that anyone who can answer that question what inertia is , would win a Nobel Prize. “ ! ! ==========.. What are we talking about ? We are talking about so called 'philosophy of science'. ===. Best wishes. Israel Sadovnik.
