If all particles are in truth, merely field disturbances then you never observe the exact same particle twice, as each time you do an experiment you w...

In the case of a Multiverse and the posit that probability does not really exist, of course I am serious

Danger Danger! Who will then decide who has the right to speak?

Tegmark would support you in this but only because he posits that all possible outcome happen in the multiverse! So for random happenstance not to exi...

Actually, I think the accurate description would be: George W. Bush: Fool me once (awkward pause, Bush trying to think)... shame on you!... (bush feel...

How about this hypothetical: Unknown to you, you prevented an event from happening purely due to your presence at a particular place at a particular t...

A great old maths teacher told my class the following, (perhaps our resident maths prof @"jgill" would comment) 'There is one school of thought that t...

If you dream and them pesky gods try to set up a comlink, Spoiler alert! trust me!! it's just a dream!

The OP says "it is better to live." That's why I would be too scared to make the statement you made above. The geek army will get medieval on you for ...

As you say, a bit off the track of the OP. Folks often stray from the OP. I apologise to all who find this particularly annoying and I accept that we ...

Have you watched the full 3.5h podcast for April? Sure, you could start a thread on an aspect of Sean's cosmology viewpoints. I would certainly contri...

Oh you heathen!! Captain Picard on Star Trek Voyager!! Only your gods could make that happen! Yeah, I remember the episode you are talking about. It w...

You have to jump through the hoops they set out to get your questions answered. I don't mean the above sentence as a 'power-crazed,' accusation, they ...

Wow impressive! Two, did you think of them both? or did you get help? That's not much of a question? Its just another toy flying from your pram. Just ...

How long are you going to stare into that mirror? It's never going to declare you 'the fairest of them all' no matter how many times you ask it to.

I typed out the long version in: RE = Religious Education :smile:

Stop reversing things you rebel! It's Ninja Quark not 'quark ninja.' I think 'quark ninja' was the Ferengi bar owner on Deep Space 9!

Just a 'small side point,' I have long time friends who have taught religious education in Scottish Secondary schools for 30+ years and they do mentio...

I accept that your dalliance with theism satisfies a need in you and is harmless as such but I object to you sticking a label marked 'the truth' on it...

You need to type louder gasbag gaspar. It's getting harder to hear your cry's from the cradle. Did mommy refuse to hug you again this morning?

So are we back to shapeshifting gods or do you mean a god that is an actual mouse? If so how far do you want to take that? An insect god? a lice god? ...

I don't mind your 'only human' gods, Humans can cope with other humans who apply the god label to themselves but you also type 'some of them, that is,...

Well based on the tiny 57 years I have been on this planet (compared to the 13,8 billion years for the Universe), Humans might admire or even seek to ...

Yeah, he is fully cooked I think. Not worth your energy investment. It's very hard for someone so chiseled to see their own shorfalls. I have learned ...

@"Nickolasgaspar" types words like a petulant child, please don't waste your energy defending me to him. I really appreciate your attempt but he is no...

Your physics knowledge is beyond mine in this area. I have only associated the term ghost particle with neutrinos. I would need to study the details b...

So much for your big loud "YOU ARE DONE," gasbag gaspar. You deflate more and more. You will insist on staring into the mirror. Take a wee lesson from...

Its the public who they are trying to sell the books to. Neutrinos are often called ghost particles because they pass through us and the Earth etc. Li...

Well that seems a great deal to ask about! I assume he allocates a certain amount of time to answer a single question in his monthly podcast. Perhaps ...

:smile: :up: Thanks Hillary!

Well, its a descriptive nonscientific term used for the benefit of the public, is that what you are asking me about? Their use of the term ghost or ar...

5 is a lot, maybe he considered that 'pestering,' under the netiquette guidelines. Maybe you are correct and he didn't want to promote your idea as it...

Maybe you should stop staring at your own reflection in the mirror!

I did read it, don't throw more toys out your pram you will have none left to play with. "YOU ARE DONE!" :lol: :rofl: :lol: Yeah done with who? Baby g...

:rofl: Nae bother man! In true theistic tradition, 'I forgive you!'

As I suggested, an arrogant ***** who trips over his own sense of personal significance. Go pick up those toys you :naughty: little tinker! You can al...

I would have asked you if you were a Jonny Cash fan! Unless you had a wee white flash in the middle of your shirt collar as well.

Your playing again! Do you also think the 'God particle' label for the Higgs boson infers that all the scientists at the LHC are theists?

I agree, he should have, but he has not committed an unspeakable act against you. He will have his own criteria for choosing which questions he wants ...

Use as much of your fantasy capabilities to assist your musings about reality as you like. Science fiction often results in science fact, I was not re...

So Sean Carroll is required through the 'business' called Patreon to ask for a small amount of money to get him to consider answering your question. T...

All truth seekers, seek the truth and remain unconvinced by pure conjecture. Evidence-based is the only way to progress. Fantasy is only for entertain...

Their parents pay through their taxes and many teachers also take pay for private tutoring. Eh! have you not just contradicted yourself? The rest of w...

You are being rather naive here, you would be surprised how well your words could be used against you very successfully when offered to others in an '...

Well said! :smile: :clap:

Sounds to me that you are trying to justify attempts to manipulate people by stealth. This is one reason why few of us trust politicians anymore. Even...

I was paid a state teacher's salary for over 30 years!

I have little interest in engaging in stealth and roleplay. I endeavor to be as honest in the opinions and viewpoints I post as I can, even on a relat...

Maybe you need to do the aboriginal walkabout. Keep walking until you meet yourself!

Your main battle is still with the man in the mirror!
