Ah! Of course! Like universality...? I think I see how you envision it. If we are on opposite sides of the universe we are not on opposite sides of a ...

Double Hubble ---> No more rubble but nubble gubble and pubble in the inflated dubble That's what the universe is. God blowing a bubble in his chewing...

Isn't that a justified presumption? That's what the standard interpretation amounts to. It's not that "the observer" creates the world. The standard i...

You took the words right out of my mouth! There exist no space-like world lines in physics. Only time- and light-like. Both involve space and time. Ev...

I wondered about "universeness". Doesn't this mean "without a universe"? The imaginary surface where the redshift of receding galaxies seems infinite....

It doesn't matter. It's just the way it is. Matter is charged. Charged with thoughts and feelings and has a mouth to speak and fingers to type.

Don't you mean more inefficiently? 999 requires 10 tubes in binary, but 3 in decimal. Or do you mean 3 times 10 tubes (10 for each decimal digit)? 8 r...

Morning universeness (without a universe? Appropriate for this thread!). There is a whole lot of 3d space beyond the horizon. If the universe didn't e...

The point is, according to the standard interpretation, the whole world, including the past, is in superposition until a conscious observer (how can a...

Questioning the existence of gods or other persons is very close to denying them. You have to question their existence firstly. Then denial is a small...

I think I see why you write about the 4d space. I don't think you need a 4th spatial dimension to leave the observable universe. Let's go one dimensio...

I'm convinced there are people on planets around most stars in the universe, Why should the right conditions have existed around the Sun only? A rotat...

This effect is what hunts the philosophers of science. They are so caught up in inventing schemes and methodologies of science that they loose sight o...

????! I did a calculation once. I arrived at a universe that has a size of 10exp11 times the size of the present observable universe right after infla...

What are the metaphysical assumptions made in pragmatic epistemology? If knowledge is useful in practice than it's true knowledge? Is knowledge gather...

The materialism is watery and bloody. It uses energy by ATP reduction to ADP. Hemoglobin transporters grab up oxygen from the lungs and release it in ...

It becomes a different issue though when the mindful inquirer becomes aware of the repetitive structure of the universe and we can nothing else but co...

It's confusing because it is confusing. All people, or more realistically, groups of people, see a reality which they think exists separately of them....

Ha! "Science piction" movies. When subtitled. What's the difference between = and :=? Say f(x)=x^2 and f(x):=x^2. And what's the difference with ?, "i...

All matter is in it's fundaments massless. Interaction between the fundamentals gives mass. Interaction is the motor. Why is there interaction? Becaus...

Why shouldn't it be taken literally? Religion is about gods who created the world. Where else could it come from?
January 31, 2022 at 02:03
That's where Wiki is wrong. A strict following of the Copenhagen interpretation necessitates a conscious observer doing a conscious measurement to col...

[ That's exactly what can be described physically.
January 31, 2022 at 01:30
But what if you have found a self consistent, coherent irreducible answer? Where does the stuff you think you have an answer about come from? It can't...

I consider this as a compliment... Point is, I have taken a leap in the hot waters of fundamental physics and cosmology and have come to the conclusio...

This merely shows how big science seems to have grown. Science isn't even able to explain how, why, or with what intentions, elementary particles move...
January 30, 2022 at 22:49
Well, it depends on how deep the explanation goes. If there is nothing left to explain, then the last question is: where did the reality I describe co...

There will be agreement and disagreement. There is no overarching world bubble which is the same regardless of all subjective bubbles. Of course, all ...

The risk exists, but I think we can explain what we see. We can talk and articulate what we think we see. We are all people who look at a world. Nò wo...

Exactly. The singularity was a Planck-sized 3D volume wrapped around a 4D mouth of a 4D wormhole connecting two 4D structures. Particles are no point-...

Atheism is god playing hide and seek with himself. Solipsism is doing the same but with other people.

Gods exist outside of spacetime. Only by means of non-local hidden variables they can intervene. Elementary particles have charge. They long for other...

Of course. Everybody wants his theory to be objectively true. Or be constantly falsified by observations. Or established in research programs. We obse...
January 30, 2022 at 16:13
But what's the case depends on your theory. Or better, is your theory. Observations are not theory-laden, the observations are the theory.
January 30, 2022 at 15:18
I don't want to get into an argument about that... God's mind lays outside the universe, though they might show themselves. Point particles are mathem...

I can't see much difference between OOOGod and Ooogod. Except between OOG and oog. What's the difference between OG and og?

What do you mean by "those"? God's mind and point particles? Why can't it be a description of material reality? Particles on the micro level are not t...
