No, not at all he has an irish accent, he can fly but his power comes from moon light and he always wears a fur coat... So you are not going to give us anything but baseless assertions? anyone else smell troll?

Transcendental numbers.

You can say what you like, but if it does not align with the scientific methodology, and has evidence supporting it, you are literally pissing into the wind. Well actually I'm not boasting, as I mention many times about my amateurish non scientific status....With regards to "loaned other minds" a great scientist once said, "I only see as far as I do because I stand on the shoulders of giants" or words to that effect. I know what I know because I read reputable authors and scientists, understand the scientific method and what it entails, and question what I don't understand. I don't pretend that I have magically and suddenly out stripped and out thought the great minds with their access to great technology and instruments.I'm certainly not burdened with delusions of grandeur and/or laden with any God/magical spaghetti monster agenda. I'm here to learn, and over many years I have become rather skilled at sorting the wheat from the chaff, and the crank from the knowledgable science.

Phase 1 results just tells if the product is toxic.... it makes no clinical sense to give a patient this at this point. It tells you nothing about efficacy. Phase 2 would make more sense because this is where testing for efficacy start and even then the notes section of this phase states: .."determines whether drug can have any efficacy; at this point, the drug is not presumed to have any therapeutic effect whatsoever". It looks very dangerous to test and hope, on a wing and a prayer, to cure in the field just on phase 1 results. This just shows how thick this administration is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phases_of_clinical_research

Right. Unless how the FTL drive works is involved in an essential plot element of the story, the details aren't necessary. If you are writing a action story, you don't bother explaining how the protagonists, revolver operates, and if you need it not to work at some critical juncture, you don't need to include that it was caused by the extractor spring breaking.

Moonshine, I misspoke He only talks and flys when i am flying as well..

It's certainly magical in the sense of being beautiful (not sure if that is what the OP is referring to). I wish maths was actually taught with at least a little sense of wonder: like climbing a mountain to enjoy the view, it makes a difficult subject worth the work.

Not at all magical. You offered a geometric interpretation of pi, but not one for e. Geometry connects both. aex is the curve that has its slope proportional to x at all points. See the geometrical proof here (comes after the analytical proof) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

"better late, than never"..

Never knew it was a number classification. You learn something new everyday (or something old in this case).

Scott, I hope you realise this comment was not addressed at you, but at the OP, who keeps avoiding my question. How can something that is shapeless (as in the title of this thread) be constantly changing its shape?

Is energy intrinsic in a photon? Can it exist without it? If it can''t then it is a property of it by your definition.

Did You Have A Point ? -1 for the unreadable formatting.

This is similar to the realization of any defined standard, like the second. The definition is exact, but our attempts to mark an exact interval are limited in precision.

I flirted with that idea for a time, but eventually came to see it as one of the biggest cop-outs in the history of science and philosophy. Just my interpretation. ☺

ok we know dear but there must a proof and prove ok.
