Wise words! It's us who see patterns. Are there trees that old?

Yeah, my use of reality is confusing not? I say there are different realities and then I say physics can discover the fundamentals of reality. I have ...

Can't you drive back?

You get me wrong. The external world is not mind dependent. Everyone who claims to have on objective, mind-independent idea on reality is right. There...

Considering the function yes. Though the wave can have the functional form (the square of it). Considering the centrifugal force and distance, yes. I ...

It is certainly related to how people think. I think we can discover the ultimate workings of nature, but the very image of looking for causes in a ma...

That's what you think. It could be just as well that the wavefunction is made out of non-local stuff and as such, space itself could be that stuff. Wh...

That will stay a mystery always. Even when God made it. The problem with gravity is how masses and energies between them make each other know how to m...

It can be no other reason than that there is consciousness.

We should and can stop economic growth! The male what she's called has spoken...

I know about the small ice-age. I always imagined myself living then. There are beautiful winter scenes painted. Very romantic. It was cold though... ...

It is absurd though, as knowledge is not based on structures of zeros and ones being pushed around on wires. At most it can be a poor representation o...

That's exactly what I thought! :smile: Oe oe, America first! Oo oo oo... knocking himself on the chest.

Photons (or gluons and hypergluons) are the potentiality. Matter is the actual.

Why can't that hold nowadays?

Seems like you know a lot! An American (?) savant!

:smile: Could humans mix with non-humans? Apparently. Like tigers can mix with lions, I guess. What if we mix humans with gorillas?

Very true! Which goes to show that averaging is an artificial procedure. Wasn't that about a swimmer who drowned? Who are Denisovans? Danish savants?

A nice comedy would be the play of a group of philosophers pissing on established philosophy, thereby creating understanding and a possible liberation...

There is no photon's POV. The photon works instantaneously. But it looks to us as if it traverse space and time. Which is more or less what you stated...

That depends on the knowledge which proteins can form life. How does he know that most forms can't give life? It's collections of proteins that form l...

A non PC idea? Non personal computer idea? Apart from Darwinian evolution there is also Lamarckian evolution. Not genes are central or heritage al la ...

That's nice, but I don't think human intelligence is the crown on evolution. All life can be seen as culmination. With different degrees of knowledge,...

Photons just travel through space. They possess potential energy only. Massive particles possess real kinetic energy. Photons have potential momentum,...

That's the question. There are more theories accounting for mass. The Higgs particle has been found. The Higgs mechanism has never been seen.

You could find the law though to which the non-conserved energy obeys. There has to be some law of this kind of energy as the non-conserved energy dev...

It only encodes for proteins only. The ribosome is used to read it and deliver proteins. But the ribosomes are made from proteins too. Which came firs...

Careers at stake, satisfaction with the status quo, no imagination, calculations (and shutting up) done within the classical framework usually do the ...

Inlation is always present. Prices go up generally, earnings follow. Minimum wages are kept low. Work scarse (unemployment). "We can always give the j...

Indeed. It's a shame that Copenhagen set the metric for evaluating the wave function. All QM courses are based on it. Shutting up and calculate was ma...

Almost :100: It's not people though that are Fibonacci-struck. It's their need to materially dress up their pathetic empty lives. Making it seem full....

It seems indeed. Nothing les further from the truth. Global population has risen (multiplicated) only by facto 5 or so since 1900. Nature was fine. An...

Would Heidegger be banned? Or is any Nazi, racist, or sexist (are homophobes or misogynists aexists?)welcome as long as he keeps his mouth shut? One c...

Well, a block universe needs matter in it. It is a static entity but not eternal, as time already stretches in both ways to eternity. All the worldlin...

If only it were that easy...

It's strange though why move sounds like groove (but with one o), and hove sounds like stove (though I'm not sure; my natìve tongue and mouth are not ...

Thanks for all the great stuff you write! I come back later. Before leaving, I quoted this piece, because that's essentially the chicken/egg problem. ...

No! Damned! Imagine that! Haha! My imagination gets a grip. Coming to think about it, it seems they made the right move with one hove. It's their supe...

It was a strange experience when I discovered our dog actually tiptoes. She has feet as long as legs. At the backleg still a dewclaw.

So if I have complete knowledge of you you and your illusion of free will no longer exist (for me)? I get your point. If I know all about what will ha...

You surely show that you know your stuff! You truly try, I have seen that already. I will come back later. Interesting stuff! Before I take off, one l...

The link works. Same picture. The first one. I check the second. Both same picture. Great one, by the way!

Besides a heavy emotional impact, like from the heavy contrary and agressive distorted punk guitar blasts and aggressively fat swollen bass shootings,...

I didn't see the accompanying picture...

Is this serious or meant to provoke?

Even if I knew these causes, I could still have the feeling my will is free or unfree.

The feeling I am talking about isn't part of emotions. Emotions come and go. The feeling of a free will determines if the will is free or not. Not an ...

Here I partially agree. Once the first protein structures had formed from amino acids, their tendency to grow and pass on their life, created the need...

I wanted to write that. Luckily I didn't. You have found it yourself!

For a lively state to energy, free energy simply has to be increased. If there is a huge number of interacting particles, the state of the least free ...
