Talk:Nature/Basic statements

A few comments/corrections/clarifications:

2. I would suggest that the listing is an outdated view. Instead, it should be 1) Dark Energy, 2) Gravity, 3) Electroweak, and 4) Strong Nuclear. The electroweak is the unification of the weak and electromagnectic forces. Comments submitted by Ted Fisher (sorry, I'm not logged in right now).

4. The latest estimates put the universe at 13.7 +-.1 billion years.

10. I see absolutely no reason to assume that medicine will not advance to the point where we no longer die from old age or most diseases. Also, life can survive the extinction of the sun by travelling to other stars and by adapting to other energy sources.

Dgiroux 18:13, 4 August 2007 (UTC) The 10 Basic Statements page in it's entirety is a waste of time and should be deleted altogether. It suggests that there is some sort of concensus among scientists about what are the most important discoveries above all other discoveries, and "what we know" and there is no such concensus. You might as well list the categories of studies. Get rid of this topic. It's preposterous. You don't need to decide "what we know" to discuss the philosophy of science. It's a method of viewing the world, not a specific set of facts about that world.

11. Do we not know how to spell "matter" on the image?
