gravity is an illusion caused by all matter constantly expanding

That's still gravity, that's only a different methodology of how gravity works, but it's still a force causing matter to be attracted to other matter. Try again.

You did not “tell me what it was”,

And yet you mentioned nothing of the sort until I brought it up. Yet it was certainly extremely relevant to the discussion well before then. In fact it was immediately relevant. So you not bringing it up until I mentioned it, means you are almost certainly lying.

Your logical process is profoundly wrong

Nope, there are absolute facts within our perceived reality, and you have done nothing to disprove that.

“You favor logic over emotion” and “You favor emotion over logic”.

Yet in the moment of getting reports with such conflicting statement people still cannot correctly ascertain their personal report. And giving the exact same astrology report to an entire class of students causes everyone to agree that the report represents them well, is evidence that indeed both statements can apply to anyone. They are not mutually exclusive, because no one is 100% the same thing all the time.

Your axioms are dangerously wrong

Yes, the acceptance that gravity exists is so dangerous!!! The world may never recover from me acknowledging the existence of a fundamental force in our universe!!! Whatever will we do!!!

and your reasoning is fundamentally unscientific.

Go ahead and write up a grant proposal saying you will disprove the very existence of gravity, and prepare to be laughed out of the room by every actual scientist there.

No, each instance is more like a country with it's own laws, and trade agreements with other countries to share or block content.

More science than you've done in your life.

I thought you were done with me, or are you finally going to answer some questions? Cause I did ask you how you imagine a universe without gravity, but us in it could logically exist.

Look in a mirror. You refuse to answer simple questions that are entirely relevant to the conversation, and are completely unyielding to alternate points of view.

And I type this from my lab waiting for a biosensor to baseline so I can do real scientific experiments today.

But, I'm a millenial.

Tell me how a universe without gravity could exist with us in it then. Because that's the bar set for whether something can be claimed as fact.

QM? Relativity?

Yep, covered both.

Why?

Because prior knowledge is relevant to any discussion. And I didn't call you a liar until you lied about doing a double blind astrology report. I said you fell for the Barnum effect before that, which you have yet to acknowledge.

Why skirt that issue? Why refuse to engage with the possibility you fell for the Barnum effect?

I’m done

Oh please be true. Because you've said that half a dozen times now, and I've made it quite clear I would be happy for that to be the case.

Why are none of the slang words being used in any way correctly?

Rizz means charisma not ham, and gyatt means a phat ass, not hamburgers.

nor would we have had the need to shut so many things down and isolate.

I'm not so sure. In my province we had very good mask use and vaccine uptake (once we could get them), but we still went back into lockdown, after our initial long ass lockdown, due to case loads still being too high.

Masks and vaccines did help of course, but are not a guarantee things will stay open.

the hypothetical fallibility of the senses

Which is just bullshit philosophical crap. In order to even have senses there must be gravity in the universe, so once again it is impossible to logically imagine a universe without gravity.

And as I have said before science is just a way to understand our perceived reality. If all our senses are flawed it does not matter because that is how we collectively perceive the universe, and that is what science is trying to explain.

I abandoned physics (I know more about our understanding of gravity than you do)

I took undergrad physics too, so doubt. And you're still a lair, because you would have brought up your physics background way earlier in the conversation if it was at all real.

He said as an example against gravity being non-absolute was an example of imagining a universe with floating islands. But that isn't a universe without gravity, that universe has gravity holding together the rocks of the, mountain and the planet above it. Sure gravity works differently than expected, but that is the theory of gravity, not the existence of it.

A universe with no gravity is one in which all matter just flies away from all other matter endlessly. No stars, no planets, no chemical reactions. And such a universe cannot exist with life in it, so you cannot logically imagine a universe with us in it that has no gravity. Thus we can know gravity does exist. It's the how gravity works that is up for debate in question, but it does absolutely exist.

You're too stupid to talk to it seems, because no where does he say gravity itself does not absolutely exist, but says that our ideas of how gravity exists could be wrong.
