"Observation of nature shows the world is definetly round".. There, corrected it for you. 250 years ago, German mathematician Carl Gauss proved the earth was round by using math. His formula called the "Remarkable Theorem" measured the curvature of the earth thus proving it is round. I understand the gaming forums are no place for facts so please ignore ;-)

  • I could use math to prove that elephants are yellow. The math might be right, but it doesn't mean that elephants are yellow.

  • Please show me the math then.

  • Then please prove to me mathematically the elephants are yellow... you said you could, so show us how it's done.

  • If I did, it would be a waste of time, same as with "gravity".

  • No, come on now. I've given you an opportunity to show me that my trust in science and mathematics could be misplaced to which you totally copped out. If have have more than just speculation this is an opportunity to demonstrate that. So prove to me mathematically that elephants are yellow and gain a shred of credibility. Personally I don't think you can, but I'm ready to have my mind blown.

  • Gravity is just as absurd an idea as yellow elephants, and yet it has been "proven" mathematically. This shows that while math is an important tool, applying to non mathematical concepts and observations does not does not make those concepts/observations true.

  • You still haven't proven that elephants can be mathematically proven to be yellow. Okay, so maybe you can't do the math yourself... no shame, but how about a link to an article? You are suggesting that you can mathematically demonstrate something absurd which in turn indicates that math alone can't always be trusted. But you aren't in fact mathematically demonstrating something absurd (yellow elephants) so the rest of your statement falls apart. Post a link to a Website, or a a book you read it in.

  • That's just conjecture. Talk all you want but if you refuse to show us then why should we take you seriously? You have a chance to prove you are being honest and knowledgeable but you are deflecting the question you said you could answere. Prove to me, mathematically, that elephants are yellow. You said you could do it.
