    I was using it as a example, not a literal scientific argument.

    Anyways, if you're not going to think creatively, abstract, with me, I don't see the point of having a conversation.

    If you would, will, it's apples to oranges.

    The meaning of a word is not the same thing as the concept of a word. We only have a limited understanding of the meanings of words. How we define things often changes over time, take that for the fourth dimension.

    Language is a limitation to understanding the universe. I know you might disagree and I don't have the time, interest, to explain the concept to you. You might have time to disagree and put together a argument,that's fine. And logic, well that's like math, and although there's plenty of that to go around, their will always be more...Trying to define things because of equations and calculations is purely academic. These things are validated by human existence, but ultimately their is far greater depth to the universe.



    Take coding for example though, in abstract sense. (Don't know what caused the hovering underline ^)

    Well, I program in C++, and really isn't something you can't do. At least it is the most flexible programming language. If you want something flexible, take C. And I'll give you some more advice: Take C++. C has some really annoying things that C++ fixes. There really aren't limitations. And C and C++ are good. They're the ones you'd start out with, and the ones I'm continuing in, but if you really liked classes in C, you could try Java. It's really class - based.
