Progress

Nicholas and doc, I think I reinvigorated Confucianism in my last post by fusing it with Taoism (film script). The Confucians, who were opposed to Taoism, would disapprove.

But a question to both Nicholas and doc (I've just read doc's latest draft): Ted Williams' body is frozen at Alcor. Alcor states that current research on lower organisms indicates the company's scientists will be able to thaw and resuscitate Ted Williams in 20 years. They will then cure his cause of death and he will proceed to live a normal life. Why are these statements outside science and mathematics? Won't the basic statement ("Ted Williams will be up and running in 20 years.") be verified or falsified in 20 years? Is this not inside science and mathematics? See the "grue-bleen paradox" in the article 'Confirmation', May 1973 "Scientific American". Would we say that an accurate measurement of the speed of light was outside science because Galileo, Descartes, and Newton lacked techniques to measure it properly?
