Yes, but my point is that an idea or a thought cannot exist without a material substrate to support and contain it, such as the brain. When you have a...
The mind does not create thoughts; it is the brain that generates them. The mind simply emerges from the operations of the brain. It represents the as...
At the individual cell level, they are largely the same, although some differences exist due to genetic expression. Each animal has an evolutionary he...
Good answer. This is mostly how i see it, much like Aristotle. However, regarding the mirror test with animals, i’ve noticed that passing it does not ...
Yes, i've heard of that experiment, but the version i know involved basketball players mentally rehearsing their moves, as opposed to physically pract...
That is absolutely correct. You, i, and the Buddhists are in perfect accord on this point. You are not who you are without your soul. However, i think...
:up: That is quite true as well. For me, it is precisely these neural connections that constitute a soul. A unique human soul emerges from the distinc...

I asked Grok 3 to brake down this description in a simpler to understand way (hopefully it helps): Imagine particles that come in two types: negative ...
Virtual in this context relates to time. A virtual particle is virtual because it exists for no longer than one or maybe two instances of time. It's t...
The question i always ask in relation to the beginning of spacetime is: Why did the universe suddenly decide to begin existing at some arbitrary "time...

I think the mystic and the rationalist are two sides of the same coin, like the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and the dichotomy between Eas...
It doesn't actually become a 0-dimensional point; rather, it resembles the state of a 0-dimensional point because there is no room for movement within...
This video had a profound formative influence on me when i first saw it as a young preteen on PBS. It changed my perspective, and i have never thought...
You could say that, but remember the box example is an analogy that breaks down after a certain point. The zone you would be referring to would be a 0...
For me, the adjective "timeless" means never having a beginning or ending. It's not my favorite word for it, however i use it because i assume it's wh...

I don't know if you can or should call it anything. All of those words are simultaneously right and wrong. We can call it "nothing" or we can have dif...
From the perspective of the model i'm currently working with, i believe the answer is primordial time (also known as timeless time). Primordial time i...
I forgot to mention that this underlying symmetry seems to philosophically resemble the neutral substance proposed in neutral monism. I propose that t...
That's why water looks and feels the way it does to us. But notice, where is wetness when you only have one water molecule? What about two molecules, ...
Yes, that is how i'm using the term "emergence". Emergence begins after the first physical particles appear or manifest. The first emergence is the re...
Well, the way i currently see it, charge can be understood as a manifestation of broken symmetry in space. This perspective is based on the idea that ...
I have an idea about how gravity might work, but i'm not ready to share it yet. One thing i can say is that i believe gravity emerges from dark energy...
You could say that "space" is the quality of "disembodiment", and particles have the quality or property of "embodiment". This is just a conceptual mo...
Yes, and no. If you take the human perspective then no it would appear as solid and real, but if one takes the perspective of the universe, to the uni...
I do not believe it can be done. If I had an electron in my right hand and were to extract the rest energy of that electron with my left hand, the ele...
This is an essential acknowledgment. :up: I like to think of it in terms of cycles, with smaller (shorter) harmonic cycles of cause and effect nested ...
Thought experiment: Imagine we have two boxes and a particle, say an electron. What would happen if we were to separate the electron from its rest ene...
