Philosophers are usually naive about physics. The fear and tremble in the face of it... Just joking! And it was once part of it. People like Mach and ...

Again. Here you are wrong. You can think about it that way, but it's inadequate.
October 29, 2021 at 23:01
Here you are wrong. It's the electric potential that constitutes the pressure. The voltage is the difference in potential. It indicates how hard the p...
October 29, 2021 at 22:59
Then there is no current and you have made a breakthrough in material science. That's not what I meant though. I mean, voltage can exist without curre...

Hi there! Thanks. In fact, I tapped myself on the back after thinking this. On a moonlit silent night, in a low mist. The right circumstance to contem...

Every rational number has a decimal expansion that's fully predictable. I know that 1/3 contains 3's only behind the comma. Irrationals are unpredicta...

What if there is no resistance?

Let me try to clarify. Photons have the strange quality not to move in time. They are light-like (obviously!) in the sense that they move in space onl...

Nonsense from your POV. Calling something nonsense is usually done when the sense of the competing POV (mine) is in contradiction with the POV it cont...

Indeed. There is even a law against it. Wars are waged far away, and a simple street fight is punished with a fine or an imprisonment. Gods are just a...

Ah! Experienes! And theyare consciousness. To my mind. They are spirits. The core of us, somehow? Experiencing human qualities. Does this mean you can...
October 29, 2021 at 18:03
Basically you ask here if, as God is omnipotent, he can make Himself omni-incapable. By definition, He can, leaving Himself paralyzed and incapable of...

What a powerful image. The only way to beat him is becoming a body of water yourself. Like an aikido fighter is able to beat his opponent by making us...

No indeed. It has even greater importance. [ Wrong. It was born in ancient Greece. Did written religion ended 100 years after the birth of Christ? The...
October 29, 2021 at 14:03
You mean that God is OOB, or that He posseses these three qualities? I assume the last, as assigning these qualities to our own species doesn't make u...

From the article: "The supercomputer, called Jiuzhang 2, can calculate in a single millisecond a task that the fastest conventional computer in the wo...

I only now saw your comment. You didn't link me. It,'s intriguing indeed! So: "Mental(brain memory) and physical(dimensional memory) may exist if the ...

If you are not aware of good and evil, you know what will happen too, when razing down or building up. There are different kinds of building though, a...

If it's true, then why that's an issue?
October 29, 2021 at 10:30
I claim indeed right of that it doesn't store like a computer does. It doesn't. In a computer, information is stored in static patterns of spikes ones...
October 29, 2021 at 10:12
And don't forget the admirers of science. Science claims to possess the knowledge of that same kind of reality, though it tries to give an image of un...

That depends. Some visions, thoughts, and dreams can be pretty stormy. Luckily, soft cool summer breezes have their place too.
October 29, 2021 at 08:24
I was merely responding to the image thrown up in the post.Lucifer made Eve aware of good and evil. Especially the evil was loved by that devilish SOA...

That's not what's going on. It's electrical storms going on on the lightning- and fractal-like neural network. This electric storm gives rise to consc...

We all have reenacted a fatal mistake of eating an apple? Have lost the innocence of not knowing how it tastes? If felt just as innocent after I had s...

Of course it's an illusion. In the litteral sense. An illumination inside of matter. He thinks it's an illusion in the sense that it's not real. That ...
October 29, 2021 at 06:13
While your first conclusion is right, the answer to your "Why?" Is nonsense. If God is omnipotent, he will not be subjected to time, as being omnipote...
October 29, 2021 at 05:57
It's about time that you define time.
October 29, 2021 at 00:53
I didn't say nothing about language. Only that you can't speak it. Then give a good definition of time first. I'm sure God will be "subjected" to it. ...
October 29, 2021 at 00:41
An echo camber gives you the weird feeling of inescapability. I experienced it while whispering in one of its focal points. In whatever direction I wh...

If I had bought just a hundred of these damned coins 7 years ago!

If you exclude the brain, it's not useful. When you include it, it can explain how we see. Now what we see though. I mean, it can't explain the consci...

Capturing knowledge in a formal system. Like m Yes. The objective truth though lies in the eye of the beholder, to relativize the matter. Though every...

Ah! It's you who wants to know! I thought it was the other guy. Sorry about that! Now I must contemplate a bit! Will reconnect!

Why do you ask? Aren't you interested in electromagnetics? No! I'm not! Are you?
October 28, 2021 at 17:36
A strong EM field can have devastating effect on the form of matter. If you are placed in a superstrong electric field between two oppositetly charged...

I'm not sure I understand your view on neurons. You wanna use the electric field to steer your thoughts?
October 28, 2021 at 16:34
I gave a very rough picture. The popular view. In reality, a particle takes many trajectories at once. This gives rise to the Schr?dinger equation. Th...
October 28, 2021 at 16:28
So, what's the cause of the field strength? Well, all photons couple to charged matter. It,'s how strong the photons "couple," a rather strange name, ...

Finally! PHYSICA! Yes! Let me enlighten you! Matter is charged with a magic stuf called... electric charge. It's one of the seven (three, but the othe...

How else can it be? His conclusion was false though.

Haha, at least you have a sense of humor. Well if that's how your mind works, by basing your choice on choosing a number, then I wish you the best luc...
