Oh, I forgot to type, I don't know who coined the phrase BInary digiT (bit). I've never heard of Claude Shannon, so there you go, you know stuff I don...

You are correct, they don't. All computers work on the basis of the binary system, including quantum computers, they just use Qbits which have three s...

Not a Bruce Lee fan eh? Probably not a universeness fan either eh? Oh well, the Universe continues regardless.
January 31, 2022 at 22:20
Exceptionally average. The moderators have to judge on a case-by-case basis I'm sure, rather than wield big dumb blunt weaponry or they will lose good...
January 31, 2022 at 21:52
Well, that's not very diplomatic or friendly. The moderators are the arbiters. Why don't you request a directive from them? Let them be the class moni...

But why not? I took the term hubble volume to mean our observable/detectable Universe. If there is another hubble volume and its contained 'beside' ou...

Digression is annoying from the standpoint of the author of a thread. I appreciate that. Digression is also so very common within human dialogue. Than...

January 31, 2022 at 20:02
Does it not come down to whether or not, what you say here is true or false? How would we obtain evidence of such interaction? Are the hubble volumes ...

This only value I garnish from this OP is the advice: "Think carefully about how to think!" When Bruce Lee was giving a lesson to a student. He got up...
January 31, 2022 at 19:01
So, what's wrong with: 'Infinite variety in infinite combination,' as a starting point? Or even finite, but very very large variety, in finite but ver...
January 31, 2022 at 18:45
Yes, it is my opinion that you are wrong, firstly on your assertion that truth and accuracy are synonymous and your assertion that paradox is useless....
January 31, 2022 at 15:42
Yeah, but I just stole the word from the board game called 'Pictionary,' so I can't claim to be the originator. It depends, are you asking about what ...
January 31, 2022 at 15:24
Ha Ha. Now, that's a brilliant piction(my word for picture with caption)! aint it the truth! best post I've seen since joining this forum. Still laugh...

January 31, 2022 at 12:20
Yeah, I used to entertain my students with stories about the early days of computing. Opcodes and operands, assembly codes, big valves switching on an...
January 31, 2022 at 12:15
Well, if we are talking past each other then we can try and correct that. I say you are ignoring the paradox state because you call it useless. It is ...
January 31, 2022 at 11:54
I disagree. Saying that you are choosing to ignore the paradox state is a comment about your choice not your understanding of paradox. No, I don't tak...
January 30, 2022 at 16:32
I never claimed I was attempting to educate you about anything. I am not attacking so you don't need a defensive posture, we are merely exchanging vie...
January 30, 2022 at 15:18
I don't know. Do you not get a little joy from the thought that we still have questions to answer and therefore still have purpose?
January 30, 2022 at 14:26
To me, you are simply ignoring the propositional logic state called paradox. 'Every truth is subjective as an objective truth' is a state of paradox, ...
January 30, 2022 at 14:21
All sounds good to me!
January 30, 2022 at 13:53
I assumed by 'my image' you were referring to the icon which takes you to your profile page but when I went there, I could find no code example Used m...

I advocate for social justice as a human right regardless of the 'power' an individual may or may not possess. I believe providing the basic needs of ...
January 30, 2022 at 13:37
We do agree there!
January 30, 2022 at 12:37
Thanks! I had a great time and collapsed into my bed in the wee small hours. There were 9 of us, so the chat was varied, multifaceted and deep(at time...
January 30, 2022 at 12:27
Well, I typed One voice in my head agreed with me and another voice did not. So three voices could be three different (or muliple) personalities. Just...
January 30, 2022 at 12:19
and to everyone else on this thread/site. Enjoyed today's exchanges. Cornwell1 gave me the good giggle I needed to start my day/night Saturday session...
January 29, 2022 at 13:32
I agree, and I think cromwell1 does too. I do appreciate that it's hard to discuss complicated philosophical concepts without 'jargon' but attempting ...
January 29, 2022 at 13:16
Yep, that's all I am saying, we just have to spoke in clear England, that much good for clear things.

Yes but you covered this in the OP with the composite symbol := Early programming languages did not distinguish between = and := or Equals(=) and beco...
January 29, 2022 at 12:16
You could have started a campaign. You may have been surprised by how many in the University would have supported you. One snowflake can start an aval...
January 29, 2022 at 11:58
No, an atheist does not believe god exists. It's not an ideal, it's an opinion. I am an atheist but I cannot prove there is no god, no-one can, but I ...
January 29, 2022 at 10:36
I won't bother speculating. I am sure that if you wish to state your religious status, then you will do so. You were trying to put forward bad evidenc...

I wrote many programs in my very early days as a teacher in BBC BASIC. Having to number every code line was fun eh? Would it not just be 100 INPUT N 1...

Demonstrating an ability to express clear meaning so that all, or at least the majority of readers 'understand' what you are trying to explain, can be...
January 29, 2022 at 09:42
I have agreed with your definitions of 'philosopher' in general terms, but I do think the job title philosopher is 'more nuanced' than job titles such...
January 29, 2022 at 09:32
Ha Ha.....Now that was an impressive list. :lol: It is a common sound made by the great philosopher Homer Simpson, from The Simpsons cartoon show. He ...
January 28, 2022 at 15:21
No its not because 'every truth is subjective' may not be true. Paradox is neither true or false. To me, this just means that in propositional logic t...
January 28, 2022 at 14:53
For some people yes, but only because they are unconvinced that alternative states are available to them. Some individuals have reported the ability t...
January 28, 2022 at 14:22
The only distinction I can think of is in measurement. 'I can measure some things.' That statement is true and is accurate but. A measurement can neve...

Yeah, another doh! moment for me, to add to my ever-growing collection. Thanks for correcting the oversight. Same to So apart from Crowell1's inverse ...

As long as unanswered questions exist, there is no God. If all questions have been answered then God exists as a totality of life in the Universe. Uni...

From reading other comments, where you gave some info about your background, your Maths is far beyond mine. I noticed that N=1/N seems to only have th...

I always enjoy reading logical ping pong, it's entertaining. Paradox is just a logic hiccup. The Universe still gets on with doing what it does, despi...
January 28, 2022 at 10:29
Your conclusion is correct and it would be more helpful to write your second equation as a question, or a statement to be actioned, such as: (Find val...
