Walk to them. Say hallo. Give them a punch.

What will it reveal about the nature of time? Ain't that clear?
January 21, 2022 at 02:34
What have you learned from Krauss? I think he talks nonsense and offers no solution for dark energy. What is the nothing he talks about?
January 21, 2022 at 02:32
Well, the time between 300 years ago (YA) and now seems pretty steep. That implies the is more enformation nowadays than 300 YA. I see more chaos thou...

I was exactly referring to a temporally infinite one. Why can't that be created from nothing too?
January 21, 2022 at 01:09
This corresponds to the perfect clock present before the inflationary phase in big bang cosmology. His eternal circular motion is a related concept to...
January 21, 2022 at 00:59
Maybe an interest question too: does an infinite universe exclude creation out of nothing? In other words, can an infinite universe be created by God?
January 21, 2022 at 00:51
Thanks for the quote! Can we say, very concisely, that the Platonic forms were sought on Earth, by Aristotle, instead of in out-wordly "mathematical h...

It can be bang after bang too. Without crunch, but more tasty!
January 20, 2022 at 23:09
Ha! Nice title!
January 20, 2022 at 23:06
Ah sorry! Forgot. Look here Does the link work? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/16265/1/Aristotle...

Seems he even anticipated quantum mechanics!
January 20, 2022 at 22:56
Then the ultimate reason must be the gods. An infinite universe necessitates previous universes. A finite universe is a brute artifact. Only gods can ...
January 20, 2022 at 22:42
Dunno. You tell me.
January 20, 2022 at 22:29
Did he really talk about a never ending circular motion?
January 20, 2022 at 22:25
What's the necessity for infinite existence? And what's the brute contingency in the case of coming from nothing? A coming from nothing in the finite ...

What about bees swimming in all seas? Aye!
January 20, 2022 at 22:14
Exactly! That's why they hide beneath the wave function.
January 20, 2022 at 22:03
Do the two alternatives encompass possible reasons? Maybe the something from the nothing does. But can't you apply something from the nothing to an in...

Why is it dissatisfactory to know the working of the universe?
January 20, 2022 at 21:48
What could those feelings be? Feelings of contingency?
January 20, 2022 at 21:37
I see. But why, if no gap, are they not satisfying explanations then? If you think you know how it works, isn't that satisfying? Apart from the fact t...
January 20, 2022 at 21:22
I have the impression you call the hard rock a contingency. Doesn't this imply a gap, somehow? Why calling the rock a contingency then? Or do I get yo...
January 20, 2022 at 21:14
Unless no further physical explanations are possible. What if a model is obviously true? You assume a reality never to be in reach.
January 20, 2022 at 20:58
It could be though that you have hit rock bottom and that bottom is just, well, the bottom. However hard you bang, it won't crack.
January 20, 2022 at 20:44
The explanations are different. A new physical mechanism behind the known ones cannot be reduced further at some point. The gods don't become them gap...
January 20, 2022 at 20:24
I don't agree. I think I have a model for a cyclic model. No beginning no ending. Now what? How can it exist, even if infinite in time and (4D) space?...
January 20, 2022 at 20:01
Thanks for your encouraging words! I could just hold in a tear! :heart:
January 20, 2022 at 19:54
Actually, there is only one in the end. Gods.
January 20, 2022 at 19:45
It can't have existed forever. Every time a new universe bangs into existence the clock in the previous one indicates it's very late. Say it makes one...
January 20, 2022 at 19:43
It would show the time that astronomers make us believe. About 13.8 billion years and counting. The clock in this universe and that of preceding ones ...
January 20, 2022 at 19:14
The words themselves, mmmh, maybe. In the analysis of how it's accepted or not. I I have the suspicion though that whoever wrote that piece you compar...

This applies very well to my neighbor, that f...
January 20, 2022 at 16:13
What if infinity in time is built up from infinite ùniverses following up each other in series, each with a beginning of time?
January 20, 2022 at 16:08
Damned Agent! Apart from being funny you truly got stuff to say! Beautiful! You turned the blue skies blue again. The shadow on the closed curtain of ...
January 20, 2022 at 15:55
Of no real importance to the subject, but noteworthy nevertheless. Bohm's hidden variables were attacked, calling it: "A communist-catholic conspiracy...

January 20, 2022 at 14:56
If you considerate the vexing mind to be situated inside matter, then it becomes blatantly and unrefutably clear that reincarnation won't happen in th...

Maybe the language of subjective undoing, instead of objective doing, can save the planet. Imagine that language is taught to the children.
January 20, 2022 at 13:25
Except for one thing. He never would say something like this. Aristotle was ahead of his time! He already contemplated the perfect clock, present in t...
January 20, 2022 at 13:12
It's simple. For the speed of light to stay the same for all, space contracts and time dilates. The gamma factor is introduced. In a lightclock this i...
January 20, 2022 at 13:08
For the street sweeper. The big inflation swept the universe into real existence. The era, also known as the big sweep, took a tiny part of an average...
January 20, 2022 at 13:05
I think the curve between 300YA and now is not faithful. When life has evolved to the form of life we see nowadays, enformation seems pretty constant ...
January 20, 2022 at 12:09
The underlying law is simple. The speed of light has to be the same for everyone (or in any case, finite). What do you mean by an absolute clock? The ...
January 20, 2022 at 11:37
Giving reality meaning. That means reality doesn't mean anything by itself. Words are meaningful in the eye of the beholder. They tell you something. ...
January 20, 2022 at 10:20
From the article: And on it goes. Now what kind of language is this? Exactly the language George Orwell warned for, in 1946 already, in the context of...
January 20, 2022 at 08:54
That's 14 billion per year. I read this though: "Tons of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. In 2019, about 43.1 billion tons of CO2 from human activitie...
January 20, 2022 at 08:30
Why should it be given? They should just take it.
January 20, 2022 at 07:39
Wiki talks in riddles (the rate at which a clock is affected by time dilation...?). The speed of the clock is velocity dependent. If the velocity vari...
