Just checked my GCSE Latin. The noun (sometimes pronoun) of ad hoc is . . . . . . hoc. In "English", perhaps gist. Some spontaneity is suggested. E.

Guess what? I just found another thread with a reply. Ad hoc has no noun equivalent that I am aware of. Maybe 'to the point' is a starting place (not a noun) but the point (of the conversation). Not that close. Relevance is about my closest at the moment. Eric.

Helio, thank you for that contribution. There is only one point in this video that really interests me, and that is that inflation seems to have been discredited. Most cogent of all is the fact that one highly reputable scientist, who has spent, I believe, decades in promoting inflation, has...

For those thinking twice about whether to watch this video, one of the professor guests has authored dozens of articles supporting cosmic inflation, and is here appearing in a program supporting the contrary. I believe you will find it interesting, even if you hold a different opinion. It is...

I have just watched this video again, and an idea has struck me for an analogy which I find helpful.. But let me preface this immediately by saying that, whilst my thinking is entirely based on their brilliant work, the analogy is just what I thought to help me in my understanding. What I am...

Precisely. The solution, as I have discussed in another thread, is simply to ditch the inexact term "Universe", in favour of the term "observable universe" (o/u), of which there are as many as there are observers. The first mention I made of o/u was: I agree that it is always a good idea "to...

I have given post #17 a Like, but I must make a reservation that I do not consider that a transition constitutes a 'new' universe - just a change in the existing universe. Nothing here conflicts with the idea that 'Universe' is metaphysical or fictional. Cat :)

Do not misunderstand this post. I am only seeking clarification about intended meaning. "Time and distance are orthogonal". Orthogonality (Wiki): There are other examples, but I believe that these are indicative. the following is a dictionary definition: and also Apart from the...
