Asexperia's Wonderings

We see the light, but not its speed. "c" is magnitive.
We intuit "c" in its measure: 300,000 km/s

What is magnitive refers to the property of beings that can be measured, but It is imperceptible.
What is magnitive is objective, but not concrete; for example in Physics: force, gravity and time.
We feel weight, but not gravity.

Magnitive (created by Asexperia) is a modification of the word magnitude.

Are you not merely describing "quantifiable"?
Should this not be in the linguistics forum rather than philosophy?

Or is that mistakive on my part?

So, by that definition, everything, literally everything is magnitive. That car on the highway is magnitive, because I can see the car but not its speed. It must "intuit" its speed using a radar gun?
 
History? The future is occuring at present. The future is inevitable. ANYTHING possible will eventually occur. If it is impossible, it will never occur.

That was you were wrong.
We see the car and We feel its speed if We have a reference point.

Indeed.

I always thought the intuit were Esquimaux. :D There is no verb to intuit, so far as I know. But perhaps our poster has made that up, too.

Ah OK, something new then. It's not in my OED, but admittedly that is the 1979 edition.

I think it's much older than that, so surprised it's not in the OED. Not missing any pages, are you? :)

Anyhoo, I have increased my happitive quotient at the lessening of your aiditive posture, and at the biglification of your knowitive state.

Yes indeed. My suspicion would be that some of our transatlantic cousins have been indulging their penchant for making new verbs out of nouns whenever the urge takes them, as in the verb "to showcase", etc. And then the rest of us have to put up with this junk.:D
 
In somes cases what is magnitive depends on the frame of reference.
If We see a plane flying from the ground We see that it's moving.
But the movement of the plane is magnitive if We are in it.

PS: Philosophy, Phisics or Linguistics?
