Originally by: Abelard Nightbringer The stupid "IQ Tests" that u find online are garbage. You can answer every question right in less than 2 minutes, and the most you'll ever get is like 146. Just advertising gimmicks, not the true stuff.
I did one in Elementary School when i was probably 8 and got 142 i think.
I once did an online IQ test and deliberately got all the questions wrong. It returned a result of 80. ____________________

My IQ is (1+cos(log sin((Pi/x)/x+1)))*100 where x=4

I have to try this.
Ok, I did... I got "less than 79". Wonder why it doesnt go below 79 or 80... ---

Half the posters have above average iq. The other half are cracking jokes and knocking iq tests. I guess the first half may get something from that... Oh no, wait a minute..

Ok I'll bite.

I lol at this.
Research and science in general never prove anything. Proof is for mathematics. Conclusions drawn from evidence are only as strong as the data and the interpretations thereof.
Questioning everything means more than having a high IQ.
Well, no offense, but if are really so thirsty for knowledge, you could try reading the article in question. I'm sure you could get it posted to you wherever you are in the world.

And if you do that, you can read for yourself how compelling the data is, and it's interpretations. I would be genuinely interested in debating that with you.
Meantime, very sorry to say this, but I'm not sure you can lol when you don't really know what you are talking about. Unless I'm mistaken, and you have in fact read the article?
Originally by: Naomi Wynn Proof is for mathematics.
Now, lets examine this point. Please explain this to my obviously inferior mind. Do you mean to say that if research data and it's interpretations are not based on mathematics, there will always be some aspect of uncertainty?
If I were to embark on a quick research project to test if my cat is alive when I write this post, there must be some aspect of uncertainty unless I can prove it by mathematics?
Do I understand you correctly there?

He means it's impossible to prove anything 100% except mathematical theorems (and lemmas, propositions, corollaries, etc). Physics simply has theories and laws which are a best-fit match to observed data, but that will never preclude the possibility that an entirely different mechanism is causing the same effects. Much of current work in science (at least, the interesting parts) is picking apart previously "proven" facts, subjecting them to bizarre conditions and getting results that current theory says should not happen.
However, with maths you CAN prove things 100%. That's because it's constructed logically from fundamental axioms, and without reliance on real-world stuff. A mathematical theorem is true no matter what universe you're in, and no matter what bizarre conditions you subject it to. ____________________

Originally by: Merriam-Webster
Main Entry: prop+o+si+tion Function: noun Date: 14th century
1 a (1): something offered for consideration or acceptance: proposal ... b: the point to be discussed or maintained in argument usually stated in sentence form near the outset c: a theorem or problem to be demonstrated or performed 2 a: an expression in language or signs of something that can be believed, doubted, or denied or is either true or false b: the objective meaning of a proposition
Either you mean this word in a way that makes it so generalised as to prove my point for me, or you mean it in a purely mathematical way.
In which case, my reply would be this : my cat (the one in this universe) is either alive or dead. There is no in-between. If it is not dead, it is alive. And this is very easily proven by numerous methods. For example, if it was dead it wouldn't need to be fed anymore. And no amount of long words can change this very obvious fact.
It's not really all that complicated now is it.
