T+F=C For example, when you measure a propagational delay time of an IC gate. A value of 4.5nS is read. All other values are now considered false. Have we really done anything? We've created a machine to take the measurement, and a machine to make the measurement. Do scientists really do anything? Has physics fallen victim to Kurt Godel's Incompleteness Theorem? Do scientists simply play "cosmic-connect-the-dot" until they die? Please send responses to talk.origins
