No emptier than assumptions applied as facts. Yes, but when you inaccurately describe it as "that object moving, and this one not" it is not following even your own definition of the word 'fact'. I think in the root of this there is some debate about the fundamental nature of the universe containing relativistic properties, which does pose some relevance to philosophies that would exclude a relativistic universe (similar to the discussions about the indeterministic implications of quantum mechanics), but if this is too much of a physics debate, I wouldn't be opposed to splitting off these posts and/or making a new thread. I would be fine with splitting it off too, but I think I've covered my point thoroughly enough.

Physics behaves slightly different with objects in motion than it does with objects at rest... Look it up. "That object is in motion and this one isn't, just because it looks like that one is moving to me while I'm on this object" is a false statement, simply because it uses an ASSUMPTION. "That object is moving relative to this object" isn't right either, it's not a FACT. FACT would be "that object appears to be moving in relation to this object". Any other statement is either incomplete or false.

There is one phenomenon, yes, but the details of the phenomenon actually do change based on your frame of reference. If I'm in space and an object comes soaring past me, from my frame of reference it would be perfectly accurate for me to say that I am at rest and this object has velocity, but from the frame of the object, it is correct to say that I have velocity and this object is at rest. There is no way to physically determine which is actually the case, so we have to conclude both are correct statements, even though taken together, both I and the object simultaneously are at rest and have a velocity. This isn't merely some sort of illusion. Space are time aren't actual things, all they are is the relationship between events and objects, and the relationship something has with another thing changes with regards to the observational position you take. Since the relationships are actually changing, spacetime changes based on your frame of reference. Again, the video series I linked to has a much more in-depth analysis of the subject, so if you haven't already I'd suggest viewing a couple of them. You either didn't understand what I said, or you just ignored the meaning of the words. That may partly have been my fault. You are assuming that at least one of the objects is not moving just because you are viewing form one of the object's positions, but if each look like they're moving, then logically each could be moving or only one could be moving. There could even bee a gravity well passing by distorting your view of a stationary object making it look like it's moving, even if it isn't. It may appear to be a fact from your current viewpoint, but if you state a false fact instead of what the fact actually is... ("That object is moving, this object is not" VS. "That object appears to be moving in relation to this object")

You should be able to set an additional Steam folder on your second drive in the "Settings"->"Downloads + Cloud"->"Steam Library Folders". Once you have a new folder for it, you should be able to just copy over the game folders (maintaining the directory structure) from your Steam folder. You'll need to restart Steam afterwards though.

Glad I'm not the only one that has a sense of decency when I see someone injured. Be proud of yourself meffer5!

It is only what you see that changes, but what IS does not change, no matter what you see... It may appear to be conflicting facts, but if they truely are facts, then they can't truly conflict. Your viewpoint is the only thing relative.

Externals are great for backups and regular storage, but usually you don't want to use them for much else.

Banned for thinking SCP is a hard to find reference for this forum, especially when you left in that 5th 'note'.

Slap yourself until you start to ignore temporal inconsistencies because of the pain, then keep doing it to prevent a recurrence. I want to make a true AI, but I don't know how, what should I do?

I found FM on a hacking forum under the "Half-life: Source" section. Only had 12 episodes at the time... How many times have you been as bored as I am right now? I can do anything I want, I have a computer, and I have internet, but I can't think of anything to do.
