The classical approach is that the inflation happens in an infinite space, i.e, eternal inflation. In isolated pockets of this infinite eternally infl...

But there is a difference between a dreamt storm and a storm in the world we see when we're awake. The noumenon and the phenomenon are equally real. I...

Imagine, just for the sake of argument, gods brought about the universe with all particles having initial conditions, momenta, energies, and positions...

Yes. But... Why they don't radiate inwards? Why isn't the beginning of time situated at the end? I think I'm drifting off from reality a bit now Steph...

:up: I just watched Rovelli talking to a big public. I like how he says "consequences": consequences.
March 12, 2022 at 09:55
Considering your name, noAxioms, I'm surprised you dislike an interpretation that goes against the basic axioms. I don't say quantum physists are wron...

I can't imagine myself doing all I do without consciousness. But to say that's the explanation? It is necessary maybe for a "matter-system" to do what...
March 12, 2022 at 09:32
That's the best counter argument! There is something inside of matter that gives light. Why don't we move without consciousness?
March 12, 2022 at 08:28
Why is the twin paradox a paradox? Because people mostly can't imagine clocks to tick at different rates. But they do. It's why we fall down. I told t...

And what then is the target of economic sanctions? If Europe wants to hit Putin and his comrades, why not boycotting his gas? Because the population w...

I wish they spend that on my neurons! Could ask a fair fee!

In fact it explains nothing. That's only part of the rhetoric and propaganda used, to pull the non-believers over the borderline and fool the children...

"Only" 10 billion? For such a small volume it's relative an infinite amount!
March 12, 2022 at 07:12
Apart from knowing the outside we can understand the inside of things. Which means we can understand what we know. Knowledge is about perception (the ...

What does it mean when you show a word you crossed out? Thought process? A crashed computer can't be compared with a mind (is that why you crossed it ...

Only when you use different types. The principle of explosion, based on two contradicting statements, was removed by the introduction of paraconsisten...

Three types of paradox Falsidical – Logic based on a falsehood. Veridical – Truthful. Antinomy – A contradiction, real or apparent, between two princi...

Escher's paradoxical ever up or down going stairs is about the angle of vision (that resolved the seeming contradiction). The twin paradox is about ev...

Great work! And you even get paid for it! You have involved with the Colatz conjecture at any time in your career? It's proven up to 2^70 numbers! But...

After which you never tell them again. I had a similar experience. I once worked on the beach of a beautiful isle. Putting up beds and all that. I con...

Does F(t) have a physical interpretation? It's a remarkable formula!
March 11, 2022 at 23:05
So?
March 11, 2022 at 23:03
With what should I back them up?
March 11, 2022 at 23:00
Ù Haha! All physicists are monkeys at the base. But monkeys know what gravity is better than Einstein... :wink:

In F(t)=t+icosHt, is the unit time?
March 11, 2022 at 22:39
I think this focus is simply science-induced and because in this focus the soul-like qualities of nature are burnt with the relentless shining of a on...

It was Xenophanes who pioneered the Christian God and the unit reality thought to propagate the modern sciences: "Xenophanes espoused a belief that "G...

It's a fact that bare facts don't exist. Even elementary particles need other particles to gain identity. Add to this the bare fact that the internal ...
March 11, 2022 at 21:48
It seems rather strange though that F(t) equals real time plus a fluctuating imaginary part.
March 11, 2022 at 19:36
I haven seen F(t) before. Nice one.
March 11, 2022 at 19:08
I think for wavebehavior you need the space part of the wavefunction. A Gaussian wavepacket is a wavelike structure (composition of different momenta ...

The best argument against rabid atheists like Dawkins, Pinker, Harris, Hitchens, Dennet, etc. is that they don't and can't know if God exists. They ha...

Omnipotence means you can do everything. Imagine if you could do everything, unbounded by whatever laws. I wouldn't even be able to walk. What makes g...

How can God choose between infinite possibilities? Can he even do that? I mean, isn't OP a hindrance?
March 11, 2022 at 18:26
Dunno... 180booze said I am a "D-ker". We are "lil D-kers" (not understanding the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics). But WTF are lil D-...

Ron L. Hubbard plays in a totally different league than Bohm plays in https://youtu.be/9447s-qM2b0

Yeah, Capra (Tao of physics) and Pirsig (Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance), and more of them. I can't see a connection between QM and eastern...

It becomes scary if people try hiding behind God for compensating their weaknesses. Or pressing their morals referring to them. "God assures our decen...

Don't ask me but he was, like Bohm a holist (Bohm's holographic universe): "His interests included psychological revolution, the nature of mind, medit...

Nobody did, as a matter of fact. Just irrational prejudices about QM made Pauli and most others condemn him. Everything was fetched to defend the stan...

It's not Bohm who says a particle hops from one path to another. It's me. An electron travels on parts of all possible paths, directed by non-local va...

Good point! What kind of telescope is needed to observe dark mind matter or energy?

This question, this one, this one, this one, this one, or not to forget this one or this one. All asked within 2 weeks. Conspicuous! Seems a popular s...

Doesn't the same hold for scientific facts? We never measure bare facts.

In principle, God is publicly accessible. The ancient Greek saw them living on Olympus Mountain. I have seen them in the shape of clouds, three horses...

That's the question. What if it's determined to measure different aspects of a piece of reality, like looking at a hologram from various angles (Bohm)...
