Document Summary
All radhika"s are unmarried: predicate inside subject: synthetic a posteriori. Intution of space and time: cause and effect (why something occurs) To explain, you need to find the cause (answer the question why? ) Connected through experience and intuition of time and space. Intuition of time + space are points of reference: filing system. Kant: we created the law of gravity but gravity exists either way. Humans impose laws on nature but it is up to nature to follow the laws. If you are not curious, you will never know what is going around you: most of our hypotheses are rejected by nature, some are accepted. Intution of space and time remain the same: believed that space and time were dependent on the properties of matter itself, believed there was one standard of space and time, kant is wrong about time and space. Einstein disproves him: einstein"s theory of relative: space and time are variables.
