Who made the "defaced" painting?
January 22, 2022 at 16:07
Yes indeed! I think even Einstein, Galileo(i?), Newton, Hamilton, Lagrange, Hawking, or you and me (to name a few in arbitrary order), owe him (or not...

Please don't let it be the work days! :cool:
January 22, 2022 at 14:41
That's true. But so does the clock. Every tick it goes a step further. The hand return to the beginning, but that's a matter of convenience. Beneath b...

Keep following the thread. The mystery of time will be revealed. The question is, if we know, then what? I think I know the nature of time. Does it ma...

Actually, a stopwatch is the ultimate example of a cyclic process.

The wall built by the possessing class. Possession must be protected. By walls and surveillance. Being rich... To be rich means a lot of possession. N...

I try to articulate. I withdraw for reflection and contemplation.
January 22, 2022 at 13:18
Dunno. What should be parametrized? A closed loop, a quantum bubble in a Feynman diagram, is a superposition of truly periodic functions, positive and...
January 22, 2022 at 13:17
This is what usually happens. Propaganda is made for "the individu" (the undividable) but this individuality is merely exploited in favor of a small g...

Yes. Yes.

How on Earth could he be elected? The guy is a total joke! Crying for his wife to clean his arse or wipe his weeney!
January 22, 2022 at 12:28
Time needs initial conditions. Yes. There is the clock time and entropic time. I understand both. The clock time truly existed before inflation. The s...

:up: Having given a thumb up, one doesn't have to look far to realize daily life usually is a dark, cold, scary life which needs at least some enlight...

I think the evolution of quantum mechanical systems pose no problem for the nature of time. They contribute to its irreversibility, as collapse is irr...
January 22, 2022 at 11:47
Then who did he write it for? He didn't succeed though. He had to introduce "imaginary time". I introduce "the imaginary clock". The only real clock w...
January 22, 2022 at 11:31
Exactly! How can something so obvious give that much fuzz? Is it inherent to science? To give the preachers an air of profoundness? While the "laymen"...

All misery in the world, the damned state the world is in now, can be directly traced back to ancient Greek and its great philosophers.
January 22, 2022 at 09:39
That's what you think. The body brain and physical world can reappear again after a new big bang. How much we don't like this, it will still happen.
January 22, 2022 at 09:33
It's like the concept of charge nowadays. Charge is the cause of motion and it can be pure consciousness, or an fundamental form of it. His notion of ...

I could also have written: 35467 identical particles. That's the strange stuff. Any time you can discern the number of particles, at no time they exis...
January 22, 2022 at 08:40
In the context of quantum mechanics, two identical particles can't be discerned. One can put no label on them and the one of next moment can be the on...
January 22, 2022 at 08:22
It's frustrating if you see so clearly what time is and no one understands what you mean. I wish Aristotle was alive. He comes very close!
January 22, 2022 at 08:05
A yes. The observer. That ugly remnant of bygone physics. Simply meaning people who look, but giving an air of objectivity. The clock is invented. A t...

Jeeezus! For real? Just burn every dollar! I'll help you light it!
January 22, 2022 at 02:53
Great! How was philosophy useful then? Ah. It's in your question!
January 22, 2022 at 02:19
What did you engineer?
January 22, 2022 at 01:42
You have a reason for this,?
January 22, 2022 at 01:33
I think there are two kinds of times, mutually exclusive. Entropic time and perfect clock time. The PCT constitutes the Planck sized pre-inflationary ...
January 22, 2022 at 01:02
How can time cause change?
January 22, 2022 at 00:52
I answered that question.
January 22, 2022 at 00:51
Say I am the collection of particles in a collection of surrounding particles. It seems clear that in such scenario I will not return in this universe...
January 22, 2022 at 00:34
Why? Isn't that what they want?
January 22, 2022 at 00:15
I don't know why but I always had a better feeling about Aristotle than about Plato and I don't know why. Somehow I blame Plato maybe for the view tha...

Hey! If you charge me then jgill should be charged too!

Imagine the confusion when Schrödinger's cat is observed by Wigner's friend who doesn't know that Heisenberg, being measured by Pauli, is secretly loo...

Unsurpassable!
January 21, 2022 at 22:22
You see? The particles are real!
January 21, 2022 at 21:58
A coherent Weltanschauung? WTF are you talking about Agent? God is alive and kicking but his legs are too short to reach us.
January 21, 2022 at 21:56
So are you... Can you prove yourself?
January 21, 2022 at 21:33
Literally painting philosophical issues is an assurance for making good money. Every rich snob wants an intelligent painting to hang around instead of...

An ontological commitment though can't exist before you have had pragmatic confrontation. The ontological commitment is based on a knowledge of the ob...

We are not different from animals. Animals have fixed clothes and thought patterns. We are free to create them. Which is not intrinsically different. ...
January 21, 2022 at 20:53
I don't refer to each tick as beginning of a new chain. I refer to beginnings in time for each new big bang. Suppose a big bang starts of like a 3D cl...
January 21, 2022 at 20:44
You think it's perhaps probably responsible? What is a nonelectromagnetic field? A hidden variables field?
January 21, 2022 at 20:19
The thing missing is an initial state. Time needs an initial state and is irreversible because any state cannot serve as a begin state for the reverse...
