My, my, would you lookie here. One spends the time to breathe the energy of life into commonly known facts creating a being of real information then the demons of ignorance and stupidity, hand in hand, doing the bidding of entropy, suck the very life force out of it.
No matter. I have the power to resurrect it.
You disagree that the thermodynamics laws are based on observation???
I said nothing of the sort. The similarities are the letters and some of those words yet the meaning has been butchered beyond recognition. I would never attempt to defend this absurd proposition attributed to me.
The answer to the question is , 'no.'
Now what I did say was there is a universal experience of all time and space. Within that universal set is the subset of human empirical understanding. That understanding is a partial look at all of reality over all time. The assertion:
I think it's an observation that, "energy can not be CREATED nor DESTROYED, it can only be changed in form".
implies that with a partial look one can generalize all of reality over all time. That's patently absurd.
All that is needed to falsify this reasoning is to look at the very instant of the singularity of the big bang. Putting it kindly, the Lucasian Professor said, 'the laws of physics weren't applicable to the first instances of the big bang.' I suppose it's a good thing they weren't because if they were it would be a case falsifying the dogma 'energy can't be created.'
It's "an appeal to authority" because of disagreement among quantum scientists???
That statement is precisely correct. Some experts in physics imagine the 1st and 2nd laws are falsifiable at the quantum level yet there are other experts that disagree.
At issue is whether there are instances the 1st and 2nd laws are falsifiable.
When the experts are in disagreement there's no sound reason to choose one expert merely because their opinion agrees with you. That's appealing to the authority you agree with. Until the experts settle on an answer there's no reason to think we are experts. Even if you are, there are peers that disagree.
The meaning of this is there are times when the generalization 'energy can't be created' is falsifiable.
