Plus, as far as GENERAL relativity is concerned, I think any frame of reference
is as good as any other.
Okay, the surface of the earth is accelerating, but so what. If that's our
reference frame so be it (the sun etc is accelerating too ... :-)

NB: the correct answer is "Yes."
Actually, no the
correct answer is not "Yes." - there is NO one correct answer. Read the actual
question again:
Q: Do YOU think the sun will rise
tomorrow?
I may personally think that the sun will explode in 4
hours times and destroy the earth so that the sun will NOT rise tomorrow as
there will be no tomorrow. So my correct answer to the question as given is
"No". I may be totally wrong in my thinking with respect to future reality, but
it is still my thinking.
Besides, you cannot say with absolute
certainty "Yes" that the sun will rise tomorrow unless you can predict the
future with 100% accuracy; there is a probability, albeit very small, that the
sun may explode in the next 4 hours, the earth may explode in the next 4 hours,
life will suddenly spontaneously evolve from a primeval soup millions of years
ago... [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
