* Twin Earth thought experiment

When two quasars are so nearly in the same direction as seen from Earth that they appear to be a single quasar but may be separated by the use of telescopes, they are referred to as a " double quasar ", such as the Twin Quasar.

In his Twin Earth thought experiment, Hilary Putnam asks us to imagine a scenario in which there is a substance with all of the observable properties of water ( e. g., taste, color, boiling point ), but which is chemically different from water.

* Hilary Putnam's Twin Earth thought experiment in the philosophy of language and philosophy of mind

The Twin Earth thought experiment was a thought experiment presented by philosopher Hilary Putnam in his 1973 paper " Meaning and Reference " and subsequent 1975 paper " The Meaning of ' Meaning '", as an early argument for what has subsequently come to be known as semantic externalism.

Searle suggests that in the Twin Earth example, the second seems more plausible, since if Twin Earth doesn't have water, then all its water-based products will also be different.

Daniel Dennett, for example, calls Twin Earth and other experiments like it " intuition pumps ", which play on a strong but ultimately illusory intuition.

Indeed, Phil Hutchinson notes that a. if one looks at Putnam's own later criticisms of others ( for example his criticisms of Jaegwon Kim in his book The Threefold Cord ) one finds that implicitly he critiques his own earlier self ; and b. that the persuasive power of the Twin Earth thought experiment / intuition pump relies on our turning a blind eye to aspects of the experiment in order that it establish that which Putnam claims it to.

Louris returned and the sum of the collected demos from 1986-1989 were brought together to create Blue Earth, released on the Minneapolis label Twin Tone in 1989.

In 1991, Dave Ayers, the president of Twin Tone, was on a phone call with A & R representative George Drakoulias from Def American while Blue Earth played in the background.

Under certain circumstances of confusion, this can lead to the alteration of a name's referent ( for one example of how this might happen, see Twin Earth thought experiment ).

A speaker whose environment changes may thus observe that the referents of his terms shift, as described in the Twin Earth and Swamp man thought experiments.
