2020-12-09 19:58:24 UTC  

Wasn't it settled at some point that the Earth was flat, or the center of the universe ?

2020-12-09 19:58:28 UTC  

there is nothing other than chomosomes that determine the geneticmakeup of a lifeform

2020-12-09 19:58:44 UTC  

That is a different science and not relevant here

2020-12-09 19:58:49 UTC  

We used to say it was settled science that the atom was the smallest particle.

2020-12-09 19:59:04 UTC  

and there are still morons that think the earth is flat.

2020-12-09 19:59:26 UTC  

Funnily enough, the flat-Earth movement is actually growing, lol.

2020-12-09 19:59:43 UTC  

Yes... we know that there are smaller particles... but at some point you DO get to pretty much the smallest one

2020-12-09 19:59:54 UTC  

then all you can do is study how they interact

2020-12-09 20:00:13 UTC  

Yeah... don't even get me started on the flat earthers!! LOL

2020-12-09 20:00:51 UTC  

That one is another example of the dumbing down of our educational system!

2020-12-09 20:00:54 UTC  

Dude, lol

2020-12-09 20:02:10 UTC  

There is no "some point" where the science on a matter stops and can never change.

2020-12-09 20:02:22 UTC  

And BTW... the smallest particles we know of are quarks... but we have known about them for a long time

2020-12-09 20:02:26 UTC  

They said the exact same thing about atoms.

2020-12-09 20:02:50 UTC  

It was a long time between atoms and quarks in terms of discovery though.

2020-12-09 20:02:58 UTC  

It wasn't like a few years

2020-12-09 20:03:05 UTC  

yes there is... it is the point at which you no longer have the ability to see the thing in question or it would be too small to exist

2020-12-09 20:03:28 UTC  

We have knows about quarks for at least 50 years

2020-12-09 20:03:40 UTC  

You can't think outside the box on something smaller than a quark ?

2020-12-09 20:03:59 UTC  

If a microscope is invented that can see smaller than a quark, then why not ?

2020-12-09 20:04:04 UTC  

Quarks are pretty frigging small... LOL.

2020-12-09 20:04:09 UTC  

So are atoms

2020-12-09 20:04:21 UTC  

if there were such particles, we do not have the ability to see them

2020-12-09 20:04:31 UTC  

BUT....

2020-12-09 20:04:31 UTC  

way to go @JunoBlade, you just advanced to level 21 <:magahat:772838503239122984>

2020-12-09 20:04:33 UTC  

YET

2020-12-09 20:04:48 UTC  

The main reason we know about such things is because we can see that there are INTERACTIONS

2020-12-09 20:04:53 UTC  

Why do you refuse to believe that further technology COULD change the smallest particle

2020-12-09 20:05:13 UTC  

unless we see interactions BELOW a subatomic level, then we will never be able to even theorize about them

2020-12-09 20:05:34 UTC  

Right, but you don't know that we won't see that at some point

2020-12-09 20:05:34 UTC  

i.e. dark matter... we KNOW it exists... because we can see it's gravitational effect

2020-12-09 20:06:09 UTC  

I don't... but there is not point in arguing about or theorizing about it until we have some evidence of its existence

2020-12-09 20:06:10 UTC  

Okay but what about smaller than quarks.

2020-12-09 20:06:24 UTC  

Nothing smaller than quarks at this time

2020-12-09 20:06:39 UTC  

My point in arguing about smaller than quarks now is because you're seeming to say that settled science can't really change

2020-12-09 20:06:53 UTC  

So is fact considered eternal or changable ?

2020-12-09 20:07:39 UTC  

Or do we say fact is what an actual temperature actually is, as opposed to the measure of that said temperature ?

2020-12-09 20:07:51 UTC  

Because that fact will always be eternal

2020-12-09 20:07:53 UTC  

I never said THAT science is settled

2020-12-09 20:08:03 UTC  

I said SOME sciences are settled
