"I'm curious! Seems you are sent from heaven! If you want to. But from what you've written they seem wrong. Which I say naturally. All these theories,...
Sorry my replies took a while. I switched to my current book. 'Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant and then went to sleep. An absolutely fascinating ...
Another point that might interest you is, In my wish to take part in online discussion sites. I have joined one of two of them, including this one. It...
"What's your aim in this experiment? I'm not sure I understand. The clocks in intergalactic space show the same rate but the rate by itself is not con...
"Okay Scotsman! Let's set the boat assail." Good, strong words, I like them. I would guess you are American, but no matter, good strong words in any n...
One final point. I would place the two clocks, in my thought experiment scenario in intergalactic space, between galaxies, no gravitational effects, h...
You offered no response to two points I think are important : I gave you a 'thought experiment' scenario and then asked Why would the clocks ticking a...
"What on Earth are you talking about? You think I have fear of the gods? Absolutely not. I just care about their creation" Ok I accept that, so why me...
"You appear to be young and wild! The internet can deceive! It's a compliment!" Aw, Thanks Raymond, maybe young and wild at heart but no, an auld 57-y...
"Don't forget the actual occurrence of hell on Earth for people who don't and didn't comply with the invented directives of science. Actual hell seems...
"Curved space by definition is not Euclidean. The straight line in curved space is geodetic." My command of Astrophysics and physics is way below your...
Nonsense, The human mind is contained in the human brain. The same applies to monkeys. Do you think you would still have a mind, if your brain is remo...
"The straight line of time becomes a curved one too. If space is curved, so does time." So if time is curved, then based on Euclidean geometry, you ca...
Ok, I think I misunderstood your meaning with the use of 'discomfort associated with stopping'. I thought you meant something along the lines of 'peop...
I understand common phrases/idioms very well but such common phrases/idioms can have multiple meanings, it comes down to context and you used "show us...
I'm sorry to "crack you up", especially for anyone out there who believes humpty dumpty was real and still exists in a very far away place. I accept t...
In Carl Sagan's 'The Demon Hunted World' and 'The Dragons of Eden,' He discusses this area. Early humans would hunt by day as they could not see in th...
Fair enough. "I leave the gods to their own devices," would suggest you are not monotheistic, is that accurate? At what point in the estimated 4 billi...
If you give permission for others to decide or dictate who you are and what you represent then you leave yourself open to accusations of thoughtlessne...
You can choose any other lifeform you like, I prefer any such like, to the easily duped mind of the theist. This begs what question? I don't know if y...
No, my mind jumps around a lot. I've been accused/described in the past as having a butterfly mind (constantly jumps from plant to plant seeking nouri...
Thanks, but that raises another interesting question. 'Good logic' from a duelist standpoint suggests the existence of 'evil logic.' Was Plato's Logos...
Acceptance implies choice. Try to say awake, how long will you last. 'Sleep of death' makes no sense. Death is the beginning of disassembly, sleep is ...
You do not physically disassemble in sleep, you will start to the moment you die. Imagine if we could quantum tag every quanta which came from a dead ...
Cant kill ourselves because something really cool would happen and we would F****** MISS IT! A comedy show, a small single malt and then back to the q...
When you draw a straight line within euclidean 3D space you are actually drawing a cuboid, you just can't see its width or height, but it's there. So ...
Yeah, so we just don't know enough yet. Maybe there is a multiverse. Maybe a universe exists in cycles. Maybe the universe has layers of existence. Ma...
Curvature of space/time/spacetime is described in great detail on sites such as wikipedia. It would take too many words to attempt to describe the det...
Truth maybe only found outside the matrix, agent Smith. Was his character meant to portray an agent of truth? Especially when he tried to conquer by m...
Many physicists now think that the (badly named) big bang started after Alan Guth's Inflation posit. Big bang and then inflation has now changed to in...
The uncertainty principle establishes that you cannot know momentum and position at the same instant of time. It follows then that the relationship be...
'Real' is a label for a concept, a property, an idea. Maybe a member of one of the Platonic forms (or Aristotelian ideals) or something that atoms (do...
If quantum theory is correct then a 'quantum of time' must exist. It does and is called planck time and it is 10^-43 seconds and is described as 'the ...
