Grammar
Would here pronounced as /wəd/ or /wud/?
Context:
The goldfish view is not the same as our own, but goldfish could still formulate scientific laws
governing the motion of the objects they observe outside their bowl. For example, due to the
distortion, a freely moving object that we would observe to move in a straight line would be
observed by the goldfish to move along a curved path. Nevertheless, the goldfish could formulate
scientific laws from their distorted frame of reference that would always hold true and that would
enable them to make predictions about the future motion of objects outside the bowl. Their laws
would be more complicated than the laws in our frame, but simplicity is a matter of taste. If a
goldfish formulated such a theory, we would have to admit the goldfish’s view as a valid picture of
reality.
