universeness

I can't argue with any of the points you make in this response. It sounds like an accurate synopsis of the rise of the current political framework in ...

I don't know enough about this to comment. In the UK, the area of historical slavery is taught at secondary school level(12-17) within the subject cal...

I think we mainly concur with each other's viewpoint in the areas discussed here. I will spend some time reading on the general area of ethics to deep...

Only those who are insane would do so, but yes, they exist and they can reach the highest levels of power at the moment and yes, that is terrifying. B...

I understand your emotive use of 'cannon-fodder' and 'who actually did the dirty, bloody work of revolution.' I have often used the phrase 'Lions led ...

Showing compassion for another is a strength, so thank you. It was not my intention to portray any element of sadness in the struggle of "I" with "me"...

Good stuff, I hope you are correct and I can only agree with your comment here. I have personal faith that it's not. Our capacity to change has been d...

Yes I am, but I am also asking, should you be doing the same? Should we all be doing so? I am an atheist so no religious influence apart from the infl...

Surely the way in which you are educated affects your moral compass. If as a small child, I am taught Christian doctrine as the 'true moral code' then...

Yes, It's reasonable. Well, I can look up each label you assign to the label 'ethics' and gain an understanding of the variety that each combination r...

Sorry I keep forgetting to press t twice Garrett!

I'm off for a wee evening of alcohol and chat Garret. I will respond to your response tomorrow! Have a great night!

I understand that such an act can be purely based on 'love' or even a kind of 'biological or tribal loyalty,' I would still want to 'inherit' whatever...

If (I of course, hope it never happens) one of them did? Would you state/think they had made a wrong decision? Would it leave you with a feeling of 'g...

Thanks, you are obviously 'enlightened,' in my opinion. You get It! totally! Please know you get it! Heal yourself and you start to help everyone else...

I agree that ethical consistency is desirable. If you are saying that my personal morality/set of ethics is a 'subset' of all the examples I have been...

Would you describe yourself as cynical? If 'yes' then why have you become so? If 'no' then by what other means do you take action if it's not based on...

I agree that such hypotheticals are very difficult. We struggle every day to gain the merest insight into, why me? why here and now? What is the meani...

An intriguing choice of words. Are you referring to those in history whose actions had a direct affect on where we are now? In what way are they insig...

Well if that is what he suggests then I would require irrefutable evidence, that he is correct. If that is not available then I would put this idea of...

So sounds like bcd reduces inefficiency significantly from 30 vs 10 to 12 vs 10 valves/transistors. So again, I think the strongest reason for using b...

Ok, well thanks for trying to make your hypothesis clearer to me.

Probably like most people, I read each word/label you or anyone else types, access its traditional meaning and try to garnish an overall understanding...

Sorry, earlier you said your universe was curved, so curved in what way? curved and closed? I think you said before that you think the universe is clo...

So does the singularity still exist as the nexus between your two universes? I know you cant graph a 4D torus but what shape do you posit for the two ...

I assume you mean 3D sphere. You cant get a 2D sphere. But two such particles can still have some different attributes? You are talking about aspects ...

So here we go guys: Title: Tegmarks Lover Verse I The first circle is the boundary of your heart The bloody bull at the center Hit by my poisoned arro...

But this is just your opinion, there is no accepted proof of this.

But why would two identical parts, remain identical over time. Why would every event in each remain identical? Under which scientific imperative? Are ...

Ah, I see what you mean now! As the valves became tiny transistors, a decimal system would require 30 transistors to represent the range 0..999 but ca...

Had to look these up again to remind me what they represented. The most advanced maths I taught was Higher and Advanced Higher but I had not taught ei...

Maybe it does or perhaps we will never find the graviton either and dark energy like gravity may be a 'consequence of the structure of the Universe' r...

I don't conceive the same depth of problem with this general issue of a replicant. In general, replication is fundamental in our own local. DNA does i...

This is by far, my favorite stuff to discuss. I am on a few 'cosmology' sites, with a wide range of folks who discuss this stuff. I also enjoy TPF as ...

Just an interesting twist..... If I said the capital of France is F, this would be true from the standpoint that F is the only capital letter used in ...

I understand the material on the death of large stars and all of the 'types of supernovae, hypernovae) involved. involved. I understand collapse to th...

To me your are now just running in a circle. No way to make progress. Thanks for the exchange.

I am still very far away from getting this one. Is this theory based on the idea that the black hole at the centre of a galaxy will eventually expand/...

Ok, yes, I understand what you have typed but what is the inside of the volume of the balloon you are describing in relation to the Universal structur...

Two good thought scenario's: This suggests that only one Universe exists and what you are about to describe are possible limitations for any lifeform ...

Nah! that would be UniverseLESS, universeness means something OF the universe.... :halo: But is this not expansion of an entire 3D volume in all direc...

Surely using vacuum tubes, switching on or off, to represent decimal, would be a completely different system. You would need to represent 10 states 0-...

Morning Cornwell1! What? this text flew right past me! What does it mean? Yep, I get this, wherever we are positioned inside a flat 3D space or a curv...

I don't have too much difficulty, conceptualising other dimensions of the very small. I can appreciate the curved pipe example, viewed from above. You...

Sorry for the digression. I will stay on track with the OP...I will....I will....I will.

I agree with your statement but the above is unfair as I now feel unfit, overweight and muscle stiff... :groan:

Respect :smile: No offense taken and I will respect your OP's and try to contribute to them in a useful way, and try to stay on track. As you said...N...

Well, I don't intend to copy and paste examples for you here, where T Clark has been very disrespectful towards others. I am not a moderator so I don'...

I'm sure we all have similar or identical intentions. My only complaint with you, is you can be very insulting towards others. You come across as petu...

Will try my best. Could you please ask T Clark to moderate his choice of phrase when debating others.
