Re: Definition - Theory vs Proof
Bill,
I think that you are missing the point.
A Theory Is just that A mans personal view of the sum of his own knowledge, No Proof is required as evidence thereof.
If no proof can be shown to the contrary then the theory stands as just that a theory.
If you demand that a man prove his theory then you do not understand that a theory that is proven true is no longer a theory IT THEN BECOMES A FACT and no theory exists.
It is you to whom it becomes incumbent to show proof that the theory has no basis.
I am a U S Veteran of WW-2 and alife long Civil Servant, Where my co-workers were also Mostly Veterans.
I have viewed History with my own eyes and when I say that I have seen and heard evidence that certain war atrocities happened It is only because I have seen Photografic and historic conclusive proof.
I can say with certainty that Hitlers SS Elite Guard Was deeply Involved in runic symbolism it is on every German WW-2 flag and appears on much of the SS flags and such.
I have seen evidence and none of which disproves the "theory". And contrawise I have seen no hard evidence to disprove the "theory"
If you have evidence that the "theory" is in error then produce your facts. Yes I said "Facts to the contrary".
If you have none then you are out of place in the discussion.
You have a perfect right to your own Opinion as to any matter, and so has the other guy.
The Forum by definition is a place of learning through the exchange of ideas.If you seek Proof then the Library is the place where you can through deep study find the truth and facts.
Please remain as a contributor to the Forum I feel that you can add to the collective group Knowledge.
Lets not try to suppress speculation without evidence of error, If we are wrong show us our error with facts.
PS: As for your questioning The Hardness test theory, If you have credentials to speak to the Hardness Test show us your facts. As a Certified Manufacturing Engineer I have hand books and experience to back me up. The "Asteric CAN NOT BE CALIBRATED AS A VIABLE HARDNESS PROBE FOR PURE AND SIMPLE GEOMMETRIC REASONS BASED ON PURE PHYSICAL SHAPE.
This is an Engineering fact not my opinion or theory.
Can you disprove that ???
