Dunno... Who's under it?

Simply an attribute? Then what is it?

As I made pfirefry understand: the computer model doesn’t fly. So how can it be a model? The computer program, by means of computer language, lets, on...

Still, the complex whole is pushed along by a program, no matter how high the language. A true model is analogue, not digital and programmed as that w...

:smile: You're welcome!

Actually, it's an active philosophy. In the sense it actively ends human existence.

You don't create a model. You create a program operating on voltages and currents. Which is encoded in these currents and voltages also. A model plane...

Yeah, I have to sign in firstly. A pity. In general, articles in SA are very informative. I made a collection once of all kinds of physics and brain a...

Great one! That many worlds picture... Regarding the MWI, Hugh Everett drank a bottle a day, smoked 3 packets, and ate junk food only. He thought that...

How else can it be? Physicists put the basic stuff of consciousness unconsciously in matter when they introduced the concept of charge, without knowin...

As a physicist, I have to jump in here. One can just as well say that the universe, the Sun, the stars, the Moon, the galaxy, etc. rotate around the E...

I could put the negatives on the list as well. The climate change is one of them. Every form of life has drawbacks and advantages. Science is no excep...

The philosophy forum: "A vibrant community of people who rarely agree with each other but who all love philosophy"

Did that Dirty Harry say that? I thought it was a philosopher! Damn! He's right though. Opinions are like the cigars we smoke and the whiskies we drin...

Just part of the inevitable change of life? You mean the inevitable "progress" as part of a lifestyle that has done more harm to humanity than any oth...

It is written in your linked article: "arXiv is a free distribution service and an open-access archive for 2,004,641 scholarly articles in the fields ...

Doesn't this imply the homunculus behind the bodily prison bars? Isn't the noun then searching behind bars too?

Same happened to the Nachtwacht: "On 6 April 1990, an escaped psychiatric patient sprayed acid onto the painting with a concealed pump bottle. Securit...

Why would that be a problem?

Time is a material process. An irreversible physical process, entropic time. It can be compared with a reversible periodical process, the clock time. ...

Opinions are just farts puffed into funky existence from assholes. We all puff them once in a while. The gods don't care a second about what we think ...

Very true. Without these tools Science would never have been able to establish itself as the dominant worldview. Just like God, it's a story told. And...

How does an Oediipus complex relate to a community? Does this vision imply a community in which it's normal, or not, to make love with the mother?

Ah! That you think for yourself? I'm not sure you can know how it feels in the group without being in them.

Somehow, this beats the juggling theorem: https://youtu.be/w2dUYYNRit8

I think the will is associated with charge. If a magnet pulls a piece of metal it seems there is a will in the magnet and the piece to be together. Ju...

These statements are cranky: The brains physical activity deals with information structures. • The qualia of our inner conscious world are information...

Charge is the content of matter. Electric charge (and more deeper color charges, giving massless fields mass) is contained in in all processes. Struct...

Exactly! A mystery!

All the mystery will have gone and at the same time be infinite if we consider charge the magic stuff in nature. Nature is charged, that's a scientifi...

Heisenberg was right to a certain extent. I think he refers to the scientific method and scientific questions asked. If we ask mathematical questions ...

Agreed. But does that mean they don't exist independently of us? Different people have different things they think to exist observer independently. Yo...

As the help stays out and I owe you, let me help. It depends on q. Assume q: "it's 2 o'clock". Does negating this lead to a contradiction? Probably. B...

I'm against any method. They can be useful, but there is no such thing as The Method. What has this assumption to do with a method? I just think they ...

As the imperative of growth dictates. Progress=growth. Litterally. More, deeper, larger, higher, faster, further, richer, shorter, thinner, fatter, bo...

It's a game requiring "the" intellect. To be analyzed or even programmed. A friend of mine got off on it too. "Look, if the orange is up in the middle...

They don't but I have! :wink:

Unless these features are observer independent.

I'm not sure if I qualify as radical but I'm a dualist too. I think you agree that matter contains electric charge and color charge. What if these are...

Interesting! Methusalem is older than the universe! Huh? But is this a real threat to big bang cosmology?

These countries are western in fact. Cities in India, China, Afghanistan are all alike. I mean the ways of life made impossible by western expansion. ...

Then there is only one actual symmetric thing. The singularity at the big bang. Spatiotemporally a pure symmetry. There was time but without direction...

All non-western forms of live.

Isn't symmetry about two different things being the same? Left and right are symmetric. If you let things move to the left it's the same as making the...

What about the two hydrogen atoms in water. Aren't they symmetric somehow?

Yes, it's strange. Very strange. I still wonder from where it all came, why I am me, etc. Even when you think you know the fundamentals, what are they...

I don't get this. Why you say that?

Ah, then I understand. I'm not made of the same particles as when born. I'm not sure if that matters. All the new ones have a direct relation to the o...

Thanks mr. G. :wink:
