rather socratic method is better fit
Correlation does not imply causation. ... The complementary idea that "correlation implies causation" is an example of a questionable-cause logical fallacy,
you would be right there
and there is too much ad hom here for my taste
The Socratic method, also known as method of Elenchus, elenctic method, or Socratic debate, is a form of cooperative argumentative dialogue between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and underlying presuppositions.
idk if this was a socratic debtae
Just verbal beatdowns
you would have been fine if you didn't keep bringing up his ego
we’re done @Shadow✓ so go ahead and get the last word i dont care, @mineyful let me simplify it for you, since you seem to enjoy copy and pasting: the “standard refraction” figure implies downward light refraction. all experimental data implies that light actually refracts upwards. the figure is an excuse, nothing more. yet another piece of math that happens to correlate with reality
i bet the original socratic debates were socrates verbally beating down on people
maybe physically too
I don't think you even read the definition
wow you guys just love your words. i’m happy for you
Refraction can go any direction, depending on how it's entering the medium
Light refracts whenever it travels at an angle into a substance with a different refractive index (optical density). This change of direction is caused by a change in speed. For example, when light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to continue to travel at a different angle or direction.
@Morning Dew you're not actually responding to any of my points with actual science, rather making remarks based in either ad homs or evidence-less claims. If you seriously believe you're making any remote argument here by invoking a philosophical debate, you're mistaken. In fact you're somehow debating off a claim I never made, since you're saying that I've said there is no other explanation for this phenomena, which is a strawman.
depending on the angle changes which direction it refracts
depends on medium and source
still waiting for that experiment that proves light refracts downwards, but I’m glad your egos are in tact. if not, please continue writing irrelevant essays @mineyful INCORRECT, no experiment proves that light can ever refract downwards in air. that is simply a lie told to justify something that has never been proven
So essentially throughout this you've acted like a sophist
🙀😂
Definetly seen your type
let them keep going, i don’t want to prevent their egos from being stroked, afterall its why they’re here
mate you gotta cool it with the attacks
we're just trying to debate
I ask rhetorically since i know there is no experiment to prove what they claim
Explain what you mean by "refract downwards in air"
yeah lots of loaded questions and ad hom
He's a sophist, no suprise
a person who reasons with clever but fallacious arguments.
I'm gonna head out now you guys have fun
“standard refraction” implies downward refraction. not only do you not have an experiment to prove this, but you contradict the equation by implying that it can actually refract in the opposite of what is “standard” and taken for granted in every equation. by all means, continue projecting sophistry onto me
As much as I try I cannot find a standard refraction definition, do you mind linking a source
I know you've already run away from our debate but in the end you've made no substantial claims besides using a strawman to argue and the consistent ad homs. So mate, you're a sophist.
can’t wait for more words that aren’t A)an experiment or B)an explanation for why you just contradicted yourself
you think i care if you write more essays about how you’ve won? go ahead, yours in the only ego that needs to do such vain things
link source please
@mineyful 7/6*R
and i'm still trying to find out your arguemnt
