Comment to 'Dominance or insecurity?'
  • @Lee, Thanks for your clarification. But this did not come across in your previous post - at all. Of course we will all agree that Tonedog's proposed indirect examination of various historic eras does not equate to literally going back in time. I mean, Duh! Since you brought up Theoretical Physics before, this today - more than ever - proves to be nothing but a centuries old fantasy; travel back in time is impossible afterall, whereas travel forward is very possible. Anyways, the proposed method of cross-cultural examination for the purpose of circumventing our dilemma of impossible actual travel back in time is considered a valid scientific tool by virtually every scientist. Let's just accept that. We also cannot ask a rock or piece of fossilized wood how old it is ... or be present at its actual creation, but we have an arsenal of scientific methods to infer this reliably well. If we can't agree on the validity of accepted scientific methods, then further discussion is moot.
