The Academy - Julio Juliopolis - 05-30-2015
Note: This is an open topic. Feel free to discuss anything here.
In it's day, the Academy in Juliopolis bore a strong resemblance to the one in Athens. Referred to by Juliopolans as the center of reason, many great thinkers spent countless hours engaged in deep philisophical thought here. We'll be posting translations of their notes as we get them translated.
The Academy - Julio Juliopolis - 06-02-2015
We've translated the following paper found in the academy. It appears to have been written by one of the professors...
"A question of the senses"
As our ability to rationally interpret the world is dependent almost wholly on our senses' capacity to provide us with information about it; it would seem worthwhile to consider the limits of the senses themselves. If you believe the wizard's claim, (as I do), that everything is energy vibrating at different frequencies then it follows that all ignorance of any components of the world around us which we have due to the frequencies of such components being outside of our ability to sense to an equal extent limits our capacity to rationally interpret the world. Now some of my peers at this school have professed that no such components can exist, as we have not measured them, (and they call those wizards who claim otherwise nothing but charlatans). I call this a hasty conclusion, and by that I do refer to the logical fallacy also called "converse accident", in that those professing this have not first gathered the necessary evidence to support their broad claim. In particular I'd like to point out that the instruments we use to measure items are themselves only things which we can sense, and only seem capable of measuring other things we can sense. To build an instrument that can measure things not detectable by our senses poses an interesting challenge, and one which I am not sure how to approach. Such an endeavor would, I'd guess, prove worthwhile however.
An interesting thought, albeit it a bit complicated. I had to read it a couple times to get the idea, (and I had to go look up what a converse accident was). I wonder what this author would have thought of radio had he been alive to witness that?
