Yes. But everyone thinks their truth is objectively true.

The problem of time can be reduced to the one way direction it goes on the macro level and the two way direction it flows at the micro level. All elem...

Haha! You could make it your opus magnus. "Okay, for n=56545434566, is the product smaller than e... yes! Next n..." :joke:

Krauss uses QFT and it's implications for the vacuum. He doesn't explain where the singularity itself, with virtual particles only comes from But it e...

But here you predetermined the pattern of the sequence. Suppose I saw the ten first members of the pattern of the outcomes of your products. All small...

Indeed. Potential energy is different from kinetic energy. Potential energy is defined in force fields. Kinetic energy is caused by a force. So is pot...

I wondered about that too. Seems only 1 and -1 seem to be the answer. Maybe N can be different things. So that it's inverse is equal to itself. An inv...

The now is constantly running from the past, fleeing towards the future. The past never catches up, the future always resides. We're caught in between...

Quantum fields are exactly the reason I think this will happen.

Do you really mind if there are less cars, less campers, less drones, less cameras, less washing machines, less kitchen aids, less stereo amplifiers, ...

Indeed! Balance

The energy coming from a fusion reaction is higher than what you put into it. The kinetic energy of two hydrogen nuclei in a fruitful event is less th...

To question them is what philosophers do.
January 27, 2022 at 21:19
I got nowhere else to go... All people are against me... :cry:
January 27, 2022 at 20:06
:ok: I hadn't looked at it that way yet. I had an equality of masses in mind, but your example shows what it actually is. Literally a balance! The num...
January 27, 2022 at 19:48
Yes. One after another. For example, if the current universe has accelerated away to infinity, that a new one originates behind us. And then again for...

The alternative is repeated starts from zero.
January 27, 2022 at 15:57
Then why they still trying? You can make it happen in a bomb, so why not in a plant? Or you can consume and produce less.

It's a physical impossibility. The 2nd law of TD requires a beginning in time.
January 27, 2022 at 15:23
Fusion could already have been economically if only enough effort had been put in it. Solar cells can get more economical still. You can put them on e...
January 27, 2022 at 15:04
It does. You just have to actually know something about science and mathematics. Jgill does.
January 27, 2022 at 14:30
Without scientific truth, economy wouldn't have grown as devastatingly as in the modern world.
January 27, 2022 at 14:27
You can harvest the wind too. Or solar energy. And use hydrogen to store the energy and make it portable. Only water will be waste. Not to mention fus...
January 27, 2022 at 14:22
Exactly. Equality in number doesn't mean equality in nature. The numbers are balanced but the masses that are labeled by these numbers are different i...
January 27, 2022 at 14:14
Which means to be a scientist as well? Or better, a mathematician? :roll:
January 27, 2022 at 13:34
It is claimed that the unidirectional nature of time is mysterious. Isn't this, on the contrary, a prerequisite? You can say if one isolated particle ...
January 27, 2022 at 13:31
Yeah, well, what's more to say about it. You might consider technology an art, the material expression of knowledge, and assign high value to state of...

She talked about symmetries generated by "charges". For example, the "momentum charge" generator generates translations in space which leave a system ...

It's no coincidence that good and God differ one o. Doing good is, in a sense, doing God. God is omnibenevolent. Eve ate the apple of knowledge of goo...

I saw one in the mirror! She thought she was me... I told her not to talk nonsense.
January 27, 2022 at 11:24
That's still technology.
January 27, 2022 at 11:17
I can't be measured but it exists. ds^2=-dt^2+dx^2+dy^2+dz^2, for flat space. The distances between particles change, so time changes accordingly. If ...

Despite of all this technology? Because all of this technology.
January 27, 2022 at 09:41
The second law of thermodynamics.
January 27, 2022 at 09:35
What does change are distances. A change in spatial distance is a change in time.

"There is thinking and a world that I perceive. I stands between them. I is the body."
January 27, 2022 at 09:04
There is a pattern on my face toò. A math structure with a laugh? What's the structure made up?
January 27, 2022 at 08:52
Some structures though don't even have an approximation. What's the functional form of the motion of gas particles that carry the information òf a pie...

How do you know there is an innate methodology?
January 27, 2022 at 08:37
Yes. In one comment I quoted you for having used two t's, t1 and t2. I thought you had seen the light. Apparently, you hadn't. Of course, the image do...
January 27, 2022 at 08:31
It's the same problem that's encountered in the Wheeler-de Witt equation. No time involved, the whole block universe is laid out in advance. Problem i...
January 27, 2022 at 03:30
Because the picture you look at can't exist without time.
January 27, 2022 at 03:26
My point is, adhering to a spelled out methodology constraints the furthering of knowledge.
January 27, 2022 at 03:24
No, it doesn't. It doesn't need to be conscious either. But we all are conforming to "a methodology". Like we all are, consciously or not, obeying to ...
January 27, 2022 at 03:22
My "innate methodology"? Are you serious?
January 27, 2022 at 03:14
The very observation that it stays constant in time needs time in the first place.
January 27, 2022 at 03:13
Yes. And there is no single methodology involved in any of the kinds of knowledge you mentioned. And certainly not one that's spelled out.
January 27, 2022 at 03:05
You should learn to read. I write: "I'm more interested in the knowledge itself." Doesn't sound like embracing ignorance. Then I write: "We all fall p...
