QUOTE
The existence of akashic records cannot be empirically tested


That sums it up.
The dual nature of light has been empirically tested.
In fact that is how it was discovered.

You can get the equipment yourself to test the nature of light.


And plagerism means taking credit for something that someone else wrote. It's not the copyiny that makes it plagerism, it's the taking credit.

You still honestly think I was trying to take credit for it?

And again, I guess we can empirically test light by catching it ina bottle and shaking it up and pouring it out? What's next, are you going to tell me you can turn water into wine, or whine?

On a side note, they talk about the askahic (ad-hoc field) filed (is that where light goes when it *waves-bye* out of reality?) on Eureka, great sci-fi series.

How much of an idiot are you? Really?

I disagree with that quote. In fact, I'm going to be editing wiki, because the source does not make the same claim as the quote, and that bothers me.

An Akashic record can be tested empirically, however it cannot be falsified.
A few assumptions which range from very-well-accepted to plausible-if-irrelevant among physicists would -if all are true- actually mean that an Akashic record exists. Those assumptions are:
1. Time is a dimension in the same way that space is.
2. There is a deterministic theory underlining quantum mechanics.
3. The arrow of time is an illusion.

But speculating about an Akashic record before any evidence of it's existence is discovered, or before it is needed in any plausible physical theory is ridiculous, pointless, and unscientific.

You are demonstrating your ignorance, yet again. I'd explain why, but it's obviously pointless to try to help you understand anything.

No but previously you used theword plagerise when I quoted you.
I just wanted to make sure you understood the word this time and didn't accuse me again.

You can get solar cells and measure the voltage they produce when light hits it.

And as for your side note you are talking about things that two different people made up. You might as well ask if the Star Ship Enterprise can defeat an Imperial Battle Cruiser.
