Are you serious? It's already obvious to me what happened at the big bang and before (which can be better described as far away from us).

What has masking to do with working? It works also when masking. Are you saying it works only if you don't mask because healthy people take away virus...

We're all done. As individual people are these days, there hasn't been more conformity ever before.

If you exclude worms from the function of consciousness to see the world, what's to be explained. Note that the function of consciousness (to see the ...

That's not why I listen to music. That's how you see it. A sad, almost terrifying fact. The soundwave pattern of music cannot be thrown in a mathemati...

True enlightenment is realizing that all we have are stories about reality. After years of living in the dark (though light for the ones living the st...

Why? It's not as boring as I thought. There are even alephs0.5 and alephs0.99 or alephs0.01. If there are alephs(sqrt2) remains to be seen. A closed i...

It's gotta be understood though that the cover of a square by a fractal curve is not the same as just cutting out that part of the continuous square. ...

As if you are a mathematician... Keep it up Cantor! Why I write inf^1 is to highlighten the concept of cardinality. FZ lived 120 years ago. The axiom ...
December 26, 2021 at 20:57
Then you have a different notion of aleph one. The ordinal in Aleph one is just related to how many times the infinity is present. For the naturals in...

I just mean inf x inf.
December 26, 2021 at 20:30
Yeah, you have said that infinite times already. It's just not true. There are inf^2 points between 0 and 1. Aleph1. There are inf^4 of them in 2d. Al...

Only the second point is truly important. Maybe the fourth too, but that needs no mention. Say something interesting or new and you got a B is in the ...

Maybe a bit about dark matter, if you could find rotation curves of the early galaxies. You could find something about the receding velocity. And find...

Vaccinations work. In the short term for sure. It's the question if it works on the long term. Many antibiotics don't function anymore. What if the vi...

I was nothing but the stuff around it. I just used my genes to develop. They only gave me proteins. They were not involved in any programming. My brai...
December 26, 2021 at 17:29
Then you have to reread your proofs. Are you seriously implying that the cardinality of the 2-d continuous plane is the same as that of the continuous...
December 26, 2021 at 15:16
Yes. But viruses belong to another class of stochastic variables. A virus doesn't fly around the room like a mosquito. The naked man doesn’t act like ...

An opposite number can be obtained by inverting it. You oppose the change, to let the situation stay the same. Multiplication by 2 can be opposed by m...

You put the burden of proof on me. You contend though that a scientific approach is more reliable. Why? Because it offers a view on how it really is? ...
December 26, 2021 at 11:26
Knowledge about the world, indeed. Why should the scientific approach be the most reliable? It offers an image of the world that's pretty distorted. F...
December 26, 2021 at 11:18
What I mean is that we don't need science to arrive at knowledge. And again: "So what you need to do in a rebuttal is demonstrate how your different p...

Even more if you know what the professor is into. I made a scription on realism and included the work of the professor. No matter your grammar, your l...

Using a naked man will certainly attract a musquito. I hope he bites his ass. Viruses won't feel attracted to the man. They probably take refugee in t...
December 26, 2021 at 10:45
Well, if I change the word God back in "science", you probably understand. So it's the language of science that you understand. While non-scientific l...

Because you speak one language only.

If you slice the whole universe, you get a lot more pieces of the cake than only our observable piece. In the face of this enormous cake we look even ...

Only the DNA in my neuron nuclei have. The processes on my neuron network can "resonate" with processes in the real world. But they just as well go co...
December 26, 2021 at 09:48
If you need an infinity of infinites then aleph is 1. If you need an infinity of them, then 2, etc. The cardinal number of the continuum is defined on...
December 26, 2021 at 09:30
Forget the "of course"... If you don't see what that means then I can't help that. Already now you start analyzing. It's just an expression used. To m...

Are you serious?
December 26, 2021 at 08:54
I was referring to spatial dimensions. Well, actually you're right. It's only 45 billion ly... Yes, the dark side of the Moon is the far side. But to ...
December 26, 2021 at 08:52
The point is that the naked man can introduce viruses where there are none. You suppose there is already a mosquito in the room he enters, while in re...
December 26, 2021 at 01:43
Yes. And?
December 26, 2021 at 01:20
And that's exactly where opinions differ. And evidence and results are part of the scientific rationality. If you don't accept these, it won't work.
December 26, 2021 at 01:15
What do you think? To show there is no difference between the God story and the science story of course! "You can lead a person to God, but it doesn't...

For others money, there are other most reliable pathways. There simply is not one path which is the only enlightened one, as much as it says to be so....

December 26, 2021 at 00:20
That's nonsense. It's the same as saying God is genetically programmed in our genes because that's how reality is. Math isn't programmed by our genes....

Let me continue. In the case of QED, you locally apply gauge transformations. At every point in space and time you rotate an internal vector in the co...

I get your point completely and I always wondered about that myself. And you are right. Applying a principle of symmetry to the natural world implies ...

So, are qualia useful? Yes, even indispensable, but after being replaced by an assumed qualia independent world, it's easy to throw them away as being...

I proposed it. No need to argue for it. Because the modern view on nature is that of material processes going on independently of us. Elementary parti...

A materialistic view can't even exist without them. Let alone the material it refers to. Material processes are just empty qualia. So the stipulation ...
