Material processes can never explain consciousness. They lack the vital element, namely consciousness itself.

Not one process in the universe is reversible. That's an idealization. All processes are irreversible. These processes constitutes time. The reversibl...

I have searched for lil D-ker. Is it Crosby?

If you understand the wavefunction, then you should understand this. If you put cards parallel to the screen (in the double slit experiment) you would...

Well, it depends. Economic growth leads to disaster. It depends on how much of the natural world you fuck up. If you use smaller and fewer instruments...

10 000 tears... Very appropriate in this thread. :wink: Great words, by the way! Men have survived 2 000 000 years. They will survive another. Im curi...

That the clock on them goes in two directions. Sometimes one direction, sometimes the other. The clock goes to and fro.

Not all particles are virtual. Virtual just means fluctuating in time with all possible values of energy and momentum. Real particles only go forward ...

You repeat what you already said. In fat even. Why they don't go forwards or backwards in time? They even fluctuate in time.

You should thank God on your knees!

The clock is the time. Virtual particles form a clock, a pendulum. How do you know a pendulum goes forwards or backwards in time? You don't. Likewise ...

Imagine being an electron. A virtual one. You travel on all possible paths, with all possible values of E and p, forward and backward in time, at the ...

Time an illusion? They must have something wrt to change to. Space or time.

And lets pray they don't spray it in fire. Though a river of molten chocolate taking the bed you sleep in out of the house is not a too bed vision...

That's where virtual particles come in. Their name is a misnomer. They go back and forth in time all the time. Before real particles came into existen...

Gotcha!

Right of the fat, quote, list, picture, and link...

Isn't there an @ on top of the comment space? With all the other symbols?

That's exactly why hidden variables are invented! How can a particle have a probability to be here or there? Where is it then?

I ama member... press the @, and fill in the name you wanna link: @"universeness"

I'm not sure I understand. You mean time going forwards and backwards in a wavefunction, depending on the position in the wavefunction? It's a bit har...

Carlo Rovelli is great. He's something else, like Smolin. Must be his "Italian blood". All particles need interaction to identify themselves. By inter...

Thank you @"universeness" ! That's good to hear! A wavefunction, in relation to qft, can be considered as a temporal cross section of a particles free...

Real particles have a direction in time. They move forward in time. A virtual particle goes forwards, backward, forwards, backwards, forwards, etc. Th...

Exactly! Being in aporiaticalistic state means being unable to compute. We're all Aporians, living close to Ignorantia. Gnosis of Philo has had his cy...

The gods certainly fool around there. First fire, now rain. What's next? Boxing kangaroos?

Wtf????

I'm part of reality. Wtf are D-Kers? Is it a D-cherry?

It's oxymoronic and gibberish only when you speak a language which uses the word reality as a synonym for physical world. Reality contains more than w...

Objects are countable and finite. 1 object, 2 objects, 3 objects, 4 objects, 5 objects, 7 objects, ... ad inf. Or the other way round: 1 object, 1/2 o...

???????????????........

Wtf are D-kers?

You mean a philosopher is a computer? A computer has no understanding. Without understanding no knowledge. Understanding means being what you wanna un...

Don't forget the use of aporia by our beloved leaders... "Can it really be, my fellow partisans? Were they truly considering this? Did it actually cro...

Haha. Who said I heard my name 180Booze? I defend those who don't understand... according to you. They might understand after all...

"In Feynman's language, such creation and annihilation processes are equivalent to a virtual particle wandering backward and forward through time" So,...

So is a real particle... :wink: It's their behavior in time and their energy-momentum relation that's pretty virtual. But still real... And if they ar...

Locality and non-locality can co-exist. Only the hidden variables are non-local.

It's not like the shell game.

The only blame of this conflict lies on those producing weapons. These are the direct cause for the misery.

How do you know there are no hidden variables? It's the only solution that solves the problems, and the nature of space.

Especially you... Tedious indeed... :fire:

None seems not at all relevant? So all seems relevant? It depends how you view the wavefunction. In the standard Copenhagen view it's a mathematical a...

I think it's rather strange though that it says something is cool...

:fire: "What does Fire emoji mean? The fire emoji is a flame that is mostly yellow with a little red on the top. It is used to signify that something ...

If you mean that a VP is a non-physical bit of mind stuff I disagree. The real and virtual particle are just as real. Every real particle is a virtual...

What's your avatar? I love it!

Rìght!

Let me put it in a different way. Consider a single virtual photon. Represented as a single circle in a Feynman diagram. One of the quantum "bubbles" ...
