Actually many believe this has happened to the current topic in light of the original question asked as well.
Quote:
Godzilla and BugsBunny are known and they do exist as cartoons on television... thus known and exist. One can even visit a local store and purchase a BugsBunny.
|
Actually in reality as physical living beings they do not exist, which is what I was referring to (but admittedly didn't make clear). If one were to actually attempt and FIND Godzilla or Bugs Bunny one would not be able to as they do not exist outside of fictional concepts. No one uses the term "unknown" to refer to Godzilla because the lizard creature is not real.

The 3rd and 4th arm... needs more explanation. How do you know about these are arms? Are you a mechanic which works on prosthetics? Are you referring to someone who might be insane and able to see these arms?
|
Are we talking about knowledge or existance. If I am insane and see more than 2 arms that does not mean the arms suddenly "exist" in the physical term of the word any more than Bugs Bunny "exists". My point here is you seem to include things that hypothetically could come into existance at a later date, which is why I posted this.

In the case of the programmer he knows about the copper mine because he programmed the event... making the copper mine known and nonexistent.

Here you seem to have changed the original spirit of the question. Of course the programmer knows about the event. The event though is known AND it exists! Then you switched to the actual copper mine. The event and the actual mine are 2 different things. The event was programmed. The actual ocurrence gives you gold and "actually happens". So before it happens, the actual mine doesn't exist.
What people are saying is that when something "doesn't exist" it is not elgible to be called "known" or "unknown". In 1960 I was not "unknown", I simply didn't exist as I wasn't born yet. Suppose someone asked these 2 questions:
Where is your actual physical being real mother right now?
Where is the actual physical being real Bugs Bunny right now?
Now it is assumed that your mother does exist but you may not know her current location and you may. In the case of Bugs Bunny (the actual physical living being) he does not exist. Never has. To say the location of Bugs Bunny is "unknown" is incorrect. The term does not apply if something cannot be known since it doesn't exist.
So in light of your Posts I am assuming you find the description of "Aschaic Record" in error since it says it finds all sites in a province, but won't find those from events, correct?
