Home > Naïve physics

Many ideas of folk physics are incapable of giving useful predictions when detailed experiments are made, or simply are contradicted by more thorough observations:

• What goes up must come down.
• When you drop an object, it falls straight towards the core of the planet.
• An object is either at rest or moving, in an absolute sense.
• Two events are simultaneous or they are not.

These and similar ideas, in some cases too obvious for anyone to think of questioning them, were the basis for the first work in formulating physics, e.g., by Aristotle. In the modern science of physics, they were gradually contradicted by the work of Galileo, Newton and others The final one survived until 1905, when it was removed by the special theory of relativity.

Naive set theoryNaive set theory 1 is distinguished from axiomatic set theory by the fact that the former regards sets as collections of objects, called the elements or members of the set, whereas the latter regards sets only as that which satisfies certain axioms. Sets Naive Bayesian classificationNaive Bayesian classification (also known as Idiot's Bayes) is a simple probabilistic classification method. A more descriptive term for the underlying probability model is independent feature model''. The term naive Bayes refers to the fact that the prob Naïve physicsNaive physics or folk physics is the untrained human perception of basic physical phenomena. In the field of artificial intelligence the study of naive physics is a part of the effort to formalize the common knowledge of human beings.

In practice, there are schools of naive atists; over time it has become very Naïve empiricismNaive Empiricism is a philosophy about how one should best approach science. It is an attempt to explain what types of actions are acceptable in science and the best way to use science to our advantage. Naive Empiricism refers to the belief that scientist Naive/Hell To GoNaive/Hell to Go is an album by KMFDM. This title was re-released because the original album, Naive, was recalled because of its use of copyright-infringing samples from Carl Orff's O Fortuna.
