TruthBeTold = A statement that is logically or literally true (or partly true), but seems to imply something that isn't true or is just plain weird. (for rhetoric, logic or propaganda studies... or just for fun)

@Pat I seem to miss the point with this one. How so 'no one has ever dug a hole the ground'? Is this some trick wording of the English language?

@trinsec

Technically speaking they have dug ditches not holes. For it to be a hole youd have to dig under then come back out ao there are two connected holes. At least formally speaking

@Pat

@freemo So, if you dig a tunnel that goes in one side and out other side (be it 1cm or 100km long) you'd have dug a hole?

@Pat

@trinsec

yup

@Pat

@freemo @Pat

Well, then, then I've dug a hole in the ground. I'm sure as kid I've made some tunnels that my arm could fit through. At the beach, for example.

@trinsec @freemo

That's right! I didn't think about that. I was thinking a hole dug to China (from US).

So I guess, "A statement that is logically or literally true (or partly true)...", in this case is partially true, although I'm not sure how a "never" can be partially correct. Anyway, the #TruthBeTold series is just for fun in any case.

Clearly you are not a physics major :)

"Energy can never be created or destroyed"... ::eyes the casmir effect suspiciously::

It doesn't go away- it just gets swept under the rug until it gets kicked up again.

I don't understand. Is this a callback to an another thread?

@Pat @freemo @trinsec
He said matter cannot be created or destroyed.

My comparison is that matter doesn't go away (destroyed), it just gets swept under the rug(is hidden or moved) until it gets kicked up again (is brought back to immediate perspective after a reaction).
