Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?

Ok. Maybe that is a bad example. Though science has an explanation for it, I still question whether everyone can walk on white hot coals without burning their feet - just by walking fast. Which still leads me to believe there may be something beyond the scientific explanation given. The point is there are many things that science has yet to explain - dare I enter religion into this discussion.

No, Mootsdude, it's actually a great example. Science had an answer--you just didn't know it. And when you were told it, you started speculating without any basis in fact, instead of just accepting the answer. That's exactly what too many audiophiles do when presented with something absurd like the CLC. The problem isn't what scientists don't know. It's what audiophiles don't know about science.

Pabelson... "The problem isn't what scientists don't know. It's what audiophiles don't know about science".

Well said! That boils down thousands of words into the essence of truth.

Like audio is a mental excercise? Where is there truth in that? Any audiophile worth his salt knows that it is an observational excercise. Audiophiles can be fooled by their senses into thinking they hear something that isn't actually present, but the notion that they are 'always' fooled is the thing that is truly absurd, not to mention unbecoming in its presentation.

The problem 'really' is what sceptics presume to 'know', without proper investigation.

Eldartford and Pableson. Do you agree that there are things that science has yet to prove or explain? I try to keep an open mind and truly believe that there is a spiritual side to life. Is the great majority of the World ignorant to believe in God?

I certainly am not disagreeing with the scientific explanation of why fire walking is possible. I just want to make a point that not all things can or ever will be explained by science. Does that mean they don't exist?
