BF2S Forums Claim anything, I'll prove it wrong

Ok, right answer for the riddle, but haven't disproved my statement.

You have a six-sided die. 3 faces have "YES" inscribed and the other 3 have "NO".
When you roll the die, making it come to a complete stop on one of its faces, there is only one question you can ask for which the answer will always be true.
(This is also a riddle. Figure it out. The bold section is my statement.)

you can also ask: "Is matter energy"

I win the internets, again.

has that even been proved right? if not, by default its as much wrong.

Actually, scientific process states that unless you can prove it wrong it is assumed to be correct.  As many things in this universe can never be proven correct we rely on not being able to prove them false.

Is this side "YES"?

Is this the only question that is always TRUE? NO!

Is this side NOT "NO"?

Are you serious???? No? Right?

It is assumed true until proven false? How did you arrive at this idea? Anyways NOT TRUE you're wrong... /next!

You're confused about an idea (this-->): Scientific paradigms are considered reasonable & valid until they are overturned or falsified and replaced by either a new paradigm or the current one is refined.  This is nothing like your statement.

Part of the infinite list of things you don't have to prove false:
1. God (or Gods) in any incarnation (Odin, Zeus, Osiris, Ahura-Mazda, etc, etc, etc).
2. Unicorns (pretty horses that have a pretty spiral horn).
3. Fire Breathing Dragons.
4. That there is a very tiny "teacup" by itself in space orbiting every Star in existence.
5. Ghosts.
6. Deja Vu.
7. Telepathy.
8. Bigfoot.
9. A micro-tuner Intelligent Agent, as tuner of the physical constants & DNA in I.D. Theory.
10. Revelations of transcendence to only specific individuals in the distant past.
11. There is no reality outside the knowable-Universe.
12. There is a reality outside the knowable-Universe.
13. A guy on the street corner claiming he is GOD.
14. Etc...

Anyone can make a claim, it is not assumed true until proven false, the burden of proof is upon the one making the claim.

A paradigm or theory can be demonstrated to be false; but they are never proven to be complete or absolutely true. They are reasonable and they are based upon empirical evidence, procedure and experiments. It is the opposite of your statement, until it has been demonstrated by empirical evidence that the paradigm or theory is VALID; it is FALSE; and ONLY future evidence (more in-depth evidence), can overturn a theory or modify it.

this is suprisingly amusing. DeathUnlimited, i think i'll help you out from now on.

No it is not amusing it is DEATHLY SERIOUS BUSINESS (inspect the NAME --->: DeathUnlimited); should you desire to mingle in God & the Prophet of God's work - you will be DAMNED - and die an Unlimited # of painful deaths - for an eternity. Proceed at your own risk... :)

Actually, in response to your actually, its the other way around. You start with the hypothesis. If you prove that right and can duplicate it, it becomes a theory (aka: Theory of Relativity). If all attempts on this planet have failed to disrupt the theory for the last couple centuries, it comes a law (Law of Gravity, Newton's Laws, Hooks Law, Jude Law). Otherwise, it is null by default.

You can't prove gravity, or anything for that matter.

Mathmatically, prove this basic calculus thereom wrong:

If f(y) = tanx

Then f'(y) = sec²x

Remembering that  f(y) = y intercept and that f'(y) = gradient of a curve

its wrong because i say its wrong, as well as the fact that i strictly adhere to my religion, which forbids the teaching of the blasphemy you call math. Things happen because God wants them to happen, not because a random assortment of letters does.
