I like the way this question is posed: if a ToN can challenge God, instead of a ToE.

I might think about it as an object but don't feel it like an object. It's that what's inside the object, like a pain in my toe.
November 08, 2021 at 22:02
All right then: the non materialistic kind of stuff residing inside matter. Can't that be stuff? To be known only from the inside? And thus not knowab...
November 08, 2021 at 21:52
You mean stuff that resides inside matter? So that we indeed are what we eat?
November 08, 2021 at 21:42
Maybe by means of hidden variables gods can communicate, though I prefer to be left alone!
November 08, 2021 at 21:39
I agree 100%! String theory even invented a string landscape with 10exp500 possible universes to be chosen from at random, which one day just must giv...

The next quotations are indirect, by medium T.Clark, from Collingswood. True. But different human thoughts can refer to different objective realities,...

The game is not fair in that the chance on winning and losing is the same, if played fair. Well, they differ a bit as there are relative very few more...

That's what I mean indeed. Sometimes the universe is classical absolute Newtonian, in other situations it's classical relativistic Einsteinian.
November 08, 2021 at 20:24
I don't think so. In calculating complicated three or four body problems in classical mechanics a huge effort can be invested. GR is not even able to ...
November 08, 2021 at 18:47
The only curling up that is done in string theory is mathematical. Like in Kaluza Klein theory a 4th dimension was introduced for the EM interaction. ...

What's the MAYA? Your name has a connection... Should I read all comments?
November 08, 2021 at 09:32
The concept of the infinite dense is problematic indeed. A classical view on spacetime with point particles in it is bound to get into trouble, be it ...
November 08, 2021 at 09:29
The virtual particle fields (only two, basically, but that's not so important now), concentrated not in a point but on a small Planck-sized spatial st...
November 08, 2021 at 08:31
If you know how it works, you will discover that the 5, 7, or even 26 extra dimensions in string theory are purely mathematical, unlike the 4d spaceti...
November 08, 2021 at 07:53
At the singularity there was no mass yet. Only an extreme high spatial tension on the fluctuating field (which means, the virtual particle fields). Th...
November 08, 2021 at 07:44
:lol: Indeed. And also for me...
November 08, 2021 at 06:43
Well... If I look around me the world is neither flat nor global. The same can be said about cosmologists, being mostly flat spacers. The thing with F...
November 08, 2021 at 06:36
There is a model, the pyrotechnic universe, in which our universe is a 3d brane in a 4d space, and there is another such 3d brane floating near. If th...

PU has truly a Natural gift! He senses the universe better than most cosmologists or high-energy particle physicists!
November 08, 2021 at 06:12
A shrinking universe is no necessary condition for a new big bang to occur. Big bangs can follow each other up even if the current universe has accele...

November 08, 2021 at 05:51
Truth does count for those holding the opinion. Their opinion might be wrong in the opinion of others, of course. I'm not saying opinions are just opi...

:lol: Got your message! Nonono, I didn't stick my tongue out to you to tell you that mummy said that you think everybody tells the truth. I stack it o...

That's the best attitude indeed! :smile: F them gods...
November 08, 2021 at 02:26
I'm convinced this is what happens. But there might exist views, realities, ways of looking, even opinions, which see all the causal happenings you (a...
November 08, 2021 at 02:22
What then do you see as one instance of independent causality, which is only an illusion on your part, as reality doesn't contain causation, as it's m...
November 08, 2021 at 00:50
It is the way the reality operates. What is a conspiracy today can be reality tomorrow.
November 08, 2021 at 00:09
Now you impose your idea of causation into someone's mind. If the person addressed doesn't agree, your reality is wrong, and your idea of causality is...
November 08, 2021 at 00:07
Damned! I listened to that one this afternoon! But in the Wall video where they sit together in the studio. "Mother do you think they drop the bomb?" ...
November 07, 2021 at 23:52
I only now see that you replied. You can notify someone by selecting what you wanna quote (which you did by putting arrows around it, like for my quot...
November 07, 2021 at 23:35
If I look around me, neither flat Earth, nor global Earth theories are true. They are both conspiracy theories, as far as I'm concerned. The flat-spac...
November 07, 2021 at 23:27
I the way that what you perceive as reality and rational evidence for it today, might be as unreal and flavored with irrational evidence in the realit...
November 07, 2021 at 23:14
The masters? The destroyers. But they don't realize, as Oppenheimer did, after he created his deadly toy. I think they won't easily come out of their ...
November 07, 2021 at 23:03
Yes, of course. Problem is, your rationality and evidence might be part of a conspiracy also.
November 07, 2021 at 22:16
Wow! I wished our leaders had that vision. If one needs leaders at all! There seems to be no feeling for the wonders of nature to be left these days. ...
November 07, 2021 at 22:12
Yeah, we must make the meaning ourselves. There is no meaning inherent to the universe. And how many suffering already has been done in the name of me...
November 07, 2021 at 20:23
Haha! I quoted myself! No wonder I agreed. I don't think a proper representation of reality is what counts. It's the opinion that counts, as that is a...
November 07, 2021 at 20:04
You said it all in just one sentence! A prosaic, almost poetical TOE. Still... I thought so too. Somehow, this robs the universe of meaning, whatever ...
November 07, 2021 at 19:14
Great comment! And very understandable (I was actually Googling the words you explained later, didn't see it...) Inflation is regarded non-scientific ...
November 07, 2021 at 18:38
What about the theory that the Moon landing was staged by Stanley Kubrick? I even had my own just now. I thought a program on TV was staged. What abou...

Time, irreversible motion, needs a starter kick to kickstart. As such, there had to exist time before, though this doesn't have to be an entropic time...

The pizza one? Claiming leading democrats are part of a pedophile "team"? I'm not American, but read about it. America is the greatest country in the ...
November 07, 2021 at 17:53
The emergence of time must be preceded by time. How can time come into being without a time before?
November 07, 2021 at 17:47
Comparisons with Adolf seem to pop up in every internet conversations. Why is that? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law#:~:text=Godwin's%20...
November 07, 2021 at 17:45
Yes, you are absolutely right. But the water hadn't changed, the food stayed the same, etc. The farmer could easily check by putting a few apart, away...
November 07, 2021 at 17:39
Great picture, by the way. Though I don't think astrologists are conspiracists. Never understood, by the way, why astronomers aren't called astrologis...

:100: Especially what Sewcraits supposed to have said! (dunno him, but he seems to be damn right!)

The article was a synopsis of a long-term satellite experiment on the direction in which cows lay together. No, there were no connections with drink w...
November 07, 2021 at 17:19
Haha! Yes, indeed. I think flat-Earthers are inspiring even, instead of conspiring. In the Eartly domain they are pretty close to the truth. The unive...
