Exactly the same holds for air. The direct medium. Like you put it, a newspaper should be comparable to a brain and the stories in it to the mind. Or ...

Anyhow, the only view on the double slit experiment and measurements which doesn't give rise to strange stuff like the MWI, observer dependency of rea...

Haha! Wtf is Banno? Did he lay under a bull's hole?

In that case I should indeed stop debating. Red herrings are not part of a normal debate, nor terms like bs, wtf, etc. You stated that the electron's ...

I'm not either. Your spade is a different one than mine, that's all. I'm not sure what poker has got to do with this discussion though. I played a hid...

No need to get upset! Jesus man! For the sake of others you point out that I am bullshiting? How noble! Even Feynman didn't understand electron spin a...

That's the one I'm talking about. Bohmian mechanics. If you envision the electron as being smeared out, than a change in this smearing out should caus...

Once again, if there was evidence, you would make it to the headlines. The only evidence so far is the evidence for the non-existence of local hidden ...

And there you make a false assumption. I already mentioned this. If an electron hops erratically like a Brownian particle, you would expect an EM fiel...

What has he done to deserve that? You think the poor child will survive at all? He will go mad as hell. The only stuff he can relate are empty walls a...

TV is just a medium. I could compare air and people shouting in it in the same way to the brain and the mind. But somehow, that image is less convinci...

Because these processes are just theoretical constructions, no matter how refined, evolved, sophisticated, or advanced they are. They are projected on...

Well, you can't get out of physical ones, not even if you are shining light for help. Untill now I always came out of the psychological ones. But in b...

Ignoring electron masses or GR effects renders them massless or non-existent effectively in the situatiòn at stake. So the hidden placeholder of a zer...

I happens everywhere indeed. What is considered irrelevant is left out of the argument. A fundamental Christian leaves out evolutionary arguments, whi...

In calculating atomic masses, for example.

Here I totally agree. Some organisms even developed brains to simulate the physical world. Still, there is no explanation of consciousness to be found...

I'm not interested in the specifics and that's not what this thread is about. I'm happy with the general outline applying to all organisms that evolve...

Not sure what you are talking about but I consider the conscious experiences as not explicable by any mechanism. However sophisicated. I'm fully aware...

Whatever he has to say, it can't explain consciousness. No matter how premier he thinks about it. All talk about dissipative structures evolving non-r...

:100: String theory sees charge as a vibrational mode of strings. It's this vibrational mode that gives the coupling strength to other strings. I don'...

Then the orthodox view is non-scientific just the same. There is just no scientific evidence the orthodox view is the correct one. All physical exampl...

I'm not sure what you mean by this. It feels you are throwing in a bucket of red or blue herrings. Do you mean I have to stop questioning the orthodox...

I'm talking about the interpretation.

What scientific evidence you are talking about? The Copenhagen view is a belief all the same. And why should you take scientific evidence seriously in...

So still a probability distribution. If one state has 0.1 (squared) weight and another 0.9, what does this entail for the corresponding two parallel u...

Why should I make an argument? I just belief it. Juat like you belief your stuff about the wavefunction. I don't see where God and evolution enter her...

But it still assigns probabilities to branching points.

A partìcle can be in all places it likes. But not at the same time. Call it a fundamental belief. If you think this all weird stuff of QM vanishes. Yo...

I don't say it is not spot on. It's indeed my fundamental belief that the wavefunction as a mathematical entity is a kind of Platonic view on reality,...

That's exactly what I mean. But it is no literal description. Yes. Like. The point is that it came too late. Giving birth to weird paradoxes like Schr...

All of them. Math is just a way to describe physical stuff. No. My point is that the the MWI is caused by the wavefunction being seen as a mathematica...

Genetic mixing by itself won't do. Genes are situated in bodies and how do you mix them? In my experience blacks still pair up with blacks, yellow wit...

People will never be able to create a human outside the womb of an already existing human being. By the very nature of human beings (or other organism...

Or on people preventing you to take action. Or on one's ability not to listen what their minds tell them. You think it's better that all minds should ...

I'm not sure if that's important. It's their actions that count. You can have a non accepting mind and still let gay people live in peace. On the othe...

Then what's the difference? That the seeming acceptance can turn into oppression in the right (wrong) circumstances? Who says that true acceptance can...

The problem with wavefunction-collapse is that it's a mathematical collapse, leaving room for two interpretations. Or better, three. One that says the...

By making them on the base of a certain kind of knowledge. Scientific knowledge. That knowledge is again based on an approach that situates people opp...

If that's your premisse then nothing is unnatural. But then, when it becomes bad? If it does harm to nature? But how can that be if everything is natu...

I'm not sure how a number can be rethorical. To which parts of engineering you refer? How materials respond to force when pushed or pulled? If you pus...

A bit off-thread maybe, but equating 1+1 with 2 already presupposes two different things. Equalized by a neutral math. The numbers might be the same, ...

Where did you get that from? 90%? No way. Hooks law doesn't apply to most materials. Even with shear it can't be applied to most materials. Maybe for ...

I'm not sure what you are trying to convey here. Man made nature is not natural anymore if it replaces the nature of man or the nature of nature. You ...

Stuff made by man, insofar it replaces natural stuff, is unnatural. Viewed in this way, we live in an extremely unnatural world.

Just take a look around on this forum... I guess you saw that one coming. I don't understand what your intentions are here. The first thing that came ...
