The burden of proof is if you want others to believe your claims. Like chivas
If you dont care about people believing your FE theories (like you said), then yes you are not obligated to prove them
If its just the claim itself your claims are not less rediculous since you have not proven any if them and even admit you can't prive them
(As far as newton goes) like I said, it will always be hearsay to you
To be honest it has been a few years since I read it
I do remember he discusses gravaity in detail in the last book 3
In any case (in the book)
He did mention a lot of his theories as just that.
He also mentioned here and there why they could be true and false or as he put it problems with them.
I dont care if others believe my observations - the burden of proof is on you if you claim earth is moving through a vacuum at 2,000,000 mph
something you know you cant do - and are forced into trying to shift your burden of proof from the House of Cards you blindly believe in
you just cant accept the facts - because of the zealotry you practice.
My claims are not ridiculous, they are observable. You've never been to Narnia (spaceball Fantasy Island)
As for Newton - here's what he said about Gravity:
"It is inconceivable, that inanimate brute matter should, without the mediation of something else, which is not material, operate upon and affect other matter without mutual contact … That gravity should be innate, inherent, and essential to matter, so that one body may act upon another at a distance, through a vacuum, without the mediation of anything else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one to another,
is to me so great an absurdity, that I believe no man who has in philosophical matters a competent faculty of thinking, can ever fall into it. Gravity must be caused by an agent, acting constantly according to certain laws; but whether this agent be material or immaterial, I have left to the consideration of my readers.
Third letter to Bentley, 25 Feb 1693. Quoted in The Works of Richard Bentley
so he said you have to be crazy to believe in it - awesome - what a genius troll!
