Yes - and what about when mass is added or subtracted
as - for instance - in a space rocket?

F = ma applies equally well to space rockets as
other objects (though of course you have to integrate).

At the end of all this, I'm still not clear
about whether you agree that the second law of
thermodynamics has no constants in it - and
therefore is not testable science -
according to your world view.

So, to formalise this, for dice of all types:

  p_one_or_more_six(n dice) > p_one_or_more_six(m dice) when n > m

Are you claiming that that statement has a "guessed" constant
in it?  Therefore it is an acceptable scientific statement?

I'm afraid I can't easily see the constant you are referring to.

Maybe you are referring to the six itself?

If so, we will have to redo the experiment - after scrubbing off the
numbers and painting the faces of the dice different colours.
