The second premisse seems to be false. If time is not real (as is the case), then he still could have posted. If the second premise is true and negate...

A single frequency of light doesn't exists in reality. Only in the mind it can serve as the perfect clock. Clocks are a realization of the idea. The p...

After a walk with the dog I tried to leash her for the walk home. She didn't wanted me to do so and ran towards a guy on the footpath. She barked full...

Without a driver in it? Consciousness implies something like conscious. "Mindfulness": something like mindful. Or possession thereof. Greatness: being...

Then what's the problem?

Nothing yet... You write light becomes meaningless without time. That means it has meaning. But light has no meaning. Even if you put a clock beside i...

Even the heads and tails are determined. Unpredictable maybe but determined.

Light has no meaning.

Even your oddness, uniqueness, non-conformity, and contrariness, are completely determined. Is it your desire to be unique that doesn't like determini...

Why is that? I can contradict you and say you just believe it's real and that you are raised to believe so. But if you wanna believe in it, who am I t...

I think everybody here lays down rules for art. That's my impression at least. Is it an art to create an optically realistic image? By applying the ru...

Time is a clock. Clocks are a human invention. The perfect clock only existed at the big bang. Hence the time coordinate is utterly, seriously, shamef...

Like what? Apart from God? The thing you propose can't be anything. It can be one thing only. There is only one universe. It is already known that the...

Art is not about being able to reproduce a scene optically (thereby rendering it abstract and ARTificial). The most abstract paintings are in fact the...

No. Enlightenment was about introducing a new view and calling those not complying to the view ignorant. As you put it, humanity stumbled in the dark ...

Dunno. Absence of evidence invites speculation. That's the fun, in fact! You can imagine a state before the big bang. Quantized time has been proven n...

:up: I have nothing to add! Except :up:

I hope so too. :wink: If they don't have the need, then that's up to them. It's a fact of Nature though that if She is trampled on continuously, Her b...

Then it's better to procreate. Give them your values and they might help to stop the inflationary growing machine.

The mind is not the brain. The mind is the conscious content of the brain. A monkey is self aware too, like all animals. A picture of their brain they...

But because we know that on the inside of what we see is the same thing going on as inside of us we actually can understand how it feels to be them or...

I'm not sure I get what you mean here. At absorption to emission? What do you mean? The wavefunction at absorption is a different wavefunction than em...

If you ask logical sensible answers the universe will answer accordingly. At the same time it can make no sense at all. No law to be discovered. How c...

That's not the solution. Who we do it for then? For nature's sake?

I can see very clearly nature gets fucked. Precisely because we think something has got to be done. It's better to do nothing at all. Let's all just s...

There are no zeroes propagating in the brain. Only bunches of sodium ions crossing the surface of dendrites through small channels. There are no charg...

The guy thinks you are a solipsist too, so he at least acknowledges that. Two solipsists denying each other's existence are very lonely. Says one soli...

Indeed. But the wavefunction coming of an electron orbital has a different shape as a localized wavepacket. If we consider the case of an atom in an e...

It seems basically to reduce to charge inside matter.

We are doomed! But the wavefunction emitted has a different form as the one impinging. Try to construct a wavefunction of a photon that gets absorbed ...

THe state of the emitted photon, the superposition of fixed momenta fields in Fock space, is a different one that the superposition of states for the ...

It's you who doesn't get it. Gnight!

You can't see though what direction time goes. For absorltion/,emission both photons have the same energy and angular momentum but their states differ...

Dunno. Isn't light exactly the kind of thing you can't imagine to stand still?

What I meant was that the emission of a photon produces a different photon field configuration as the field used for for exciting an atom. If you exci...

It's you who doesn't understand. I'm sorry to say because I'm not a solipsist either. An observation is not an interaction. Every interaction is a vir...

It could be that all this patterned charges together are consciousness. If an electron encounters a proton, their charges cause them to move towards e...

But if you cut it loose from being a conveyor of meaning, then what use is there in art at all?

I agree. But if the painting, word, or any other piece of art are used to convey a meaning, won't it do unjustice to the painting, word, or any other ...

Then you can look at a painting as a painting too, if you look at a word as a word. But what does it mean? Is every painting devoid of meaning?

The notion of freedom is looked at from the oppressed. Freedom is only meaningful if there is something to be freed of. If there is freedom for every ...
