That's a false comparison. All ways to walk are equal. If you can walk without measure you can't walk at all.

That yes. But how he would do it not. She would not even know how to start.

What is that supposed to mean? Her arguments haven't convinced me. Maybe they convinced you but not me. Everything can be argued away with omnipotence...

Exactly. And having no measures means impotency.

To do only good is just as bad as to do only bad. Both ways are monstrous.

Then how does he walk to the supermarket? No I'm not a Buddhist.

If he could do it in every way he couldn't.

A monster, that is.

I you could walk in infinite ways to the supermarket, your omnipotence would make it impossible. So the very fact that you do anything makes you incap...

Now it's getting confusing. Allright. Let's consider the stone to lift. You could lift every possible weight. There is no boundary between what you ca...

If you could lift every stone and have infinite power, your behavior would be random. You couldn't discern a heavy stone from a light one.

Nuff but not nuff... Maybe the direction of time is proof of God.

Yeah, but the point is that they are not the same thing. Energy fields are interaction fields, gauge fields, if you like. Matter fields couple to them...

Matter is not the same as energy. Equivalent yes, the same no. Pure energy particles are different from massless matter particles. Pure energy particl...

No. I said you could walk in infinite ways. Im not talking about all possible things you could do, like smoking a cigarette or arranging spoons, but o...

Normal matter is fairy dust in a universe where all moves opposite. The laws of TD are asymmetrical in time not because fairy dust is involved but bec...

But what is matter? What is it that propels it?

No, it doesn't. But it is exactly what would happen.

Don't the hands of the clock move forward in time? 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock... Could be 3, 2, 1. But it isn't.

We cannot say if the clock moves forward in time or backward. Its direction is defined in the context of particles evolving towards constellations tha...

Did he die? Almost 100, so I saw on Wiki. If only time run backward.

Yes yes and yes again. The state of gas corpuscules being together in one corner of a container can be realized in way much less ways than them being ...

Maybe it just began. It needs new approaches to prove (or disprove) the Collatz conjecture. You cannot simply apply the recipe (3n+1) to all n and see...

The continuum hypothesis baffles me. How can a line have the same number of points as a plane? Or a plane the same number of points as a volume? Aleph...

If Carl Sagan used "God" instead of "science" in his talks, he would be a master missionary. Which he is.

Why has sophistry that negative load? Why is falsehood emphasized? Does philosophistry exist?

Sophistry: "Subtly deceptive reasoning or argumentation." Isn't physics subtly deceptive? It assigns objective existence to weird things like Calabi-Y...

There are even kinds of infinity. Not every infinity is the same.

I think we agree that there are no dark colors involved. And because we share brains you might think we see the same colors. I noticed that I saw red ...

Yes, my beloved! But why not the other way round? Why don't things evolve from the future to the past? Universe starting from a reversed big rip, blac...

Non-local hidden variable theories offer the same outcomes as standard interpretations. Interactions between particles offer the key to collapse and e...

Again, probability has nothing to do with it. It explains why time goes forward given initial conditions. If a flipped coin lands 10 000 000 times on ...

I don't say you can't walk. You could walk in infinite ways! Try choosing... Omnipotence paralyzes. "But if he's omnipotent, he could choose". He coul...

I think beyond the observable universe there are lots of planets. The universe extends beyond the horizon as Earth extends beyond the horizon. The uni...

Good day, my beloved! Kudos! Wouldn't we notice time if we are symmetrical spheres? Imagine a transparent box filled with bouncing solid metal spheres...

Well, gods or a life after this life (or before this life) is something which I can imagine at least, and if considered closer the only logical conclu...

Yes! There are people who reside in the dark but at the same time see motion.

Fecal incontinence? :grin: It would turn to food. The apple would turn whole in my mouth and jump back in the tree. Counterintuitive but possible. If ...

I see your point. Thanks for the contribution. I'm not sure if we'd not notice it. Forces stay the same if all particles and processes reverse directi...

Well, you have to show them more than that piece. What they don't see is the balls causing sounds an electromagnetic radiation, and heat. In fact, you...

Why should the cat be entangled with the poison device in the first place? If the device is a vial with poison connected to a Geiger counter, the cat ...

MWI is as bonkers as the guy who invented it. Can't wrap my head around the fact that people have faith in such a weird fantasy. And it doesn't even r...

As I already wrote, it's not the second law that I don't understand, or the arrow going forwards. I just ask why it doesn't go backwards. The fact tha...

But you could just as well argue the other way round. If entropy only decreased, it would be very unlikely for time to go forwards. If the initial sta...

The principle of explosion and paraconsistent logic. The solution to all paradoxes. It puts the barber and Russel at ease. All the other paradoxes can...

But why doesn't it and all around it move backwards. Why isn't the law that entropy decreases?

I understand the arrow of time, but I don't understand why the arrow doesn't point from future to past.

That's not the assumption. The assumption is that noumenon exists independently of us. When we appear, phenomenon appear and shape the noumenon.

The brain in vat is a persistent fantasy indeed. A brain needs us or animals to live in and can't be separated from it to live in an artificial vat, n...

This idea has a bigger problem than fine-tuning (which I think is not a fundamental issue in context of a broader theory of elementary particles), whi...
