Others might not be interested in honor, like to take it easy, and don't mind negative consequences or even welcome them. Just to put things in perspe...

Sorry! I was referring to the multitude of scientific instruments used in experiments. In experiments reality is litterally molded to fit the theory. ...

I was just talking about this with my wife! She's really scared. Let's hope the best and keep looking out for supernovae to find out about dark energy...

To be pragmatic in a scientific setting has it's virtues. What can be molded is the real stuff. So, depending on the instruments used different realit...

I flagged you!

Ha! Good one, my find!

But it takes time to go from x to x+dx and from y to y+dy. How would you describe the path of Earth around the Sun without the use of time? A line int...

There was the decision made to continue the death camps. It was a decision based not on rational thinking but on booze, ego, hatred. It was even a pra...

For the nazis it was. The machine of destruction was pretty well worked out. Hatred my fiend...

With great interest I follow this hot rational discourse. The problem seems to be the question if change can exist without time. Can change exist with...
