Hope nobody heard or saw this. Did Pascal gamble with his life regarding the existence of gods? How can you wager your life on that? If they don't exi...

The brain doesn't process information, nor compute on it. The only thing that happens is resonating with incoming structures. Or vibrating on its own....

I can't find it at the moment, but it was found that the strengthened connections in memory formation are formed by gaps widening so currents flow eas...

:lol: Haha! The quark kid strikes again. What is Pascal's wager?

The "are you serious?" attitude I have encountered a lot. You are the first exception. Mostly these are underbelly reactions to the attack on the stat...

What kind of field do you mean?

It exists because there are bindings in the real world. Flowers have shapes and looking at them shapes a similar shape in the brain in the back of you...

No. They are the contents of living beings. Their placeholders run around as patterned currents on the lightning shaped paths that neurons provide for...

These are just fantasies, like gods are. Difference being that gods are real while these fantasies stay fantasies.

Are you serious? Don't get carried away by those ideas. The next step in evolution is not how we engineer it. These are the only two ideas to survey. ...

The wavefunction collapse is a real local collapse. Only a universal wavefunction of non-interacting particles will never collapse. Collapse is intera...

:lol: Like last Thursday, it's questionable if that coming time exists.

A transhuman? Our follow up in evolution?

Alcubierre's drive and wormholes don't work, even in theory. The fact that not one Thursday has passed for you and 50 on Earth proves that Thursday ha...

The road to destruction... :wink:

It's very simple. Say a particle accelerates to just below c. If the particle travels for 1 day and returns to Earth then because of the asymmetry the...

Why is the binding problem a problem? Wouldn't it be a problem if there wasn't binding?

If last Thursday didn't happen then this yesterday didn't happen. If yesterday didn't this morning didn't happen. If this morning didn't happen, last ...

Every non-interacting system will get spread over space. So their spatial properties depend on other particles. So their properties are relational. Me...

The fact that God hasn't showed himself only means he hasn't showed himself yet...

The fact that it can't be described exactly just means there isn't an exact structure. If the exact structure is the approximation then what is the ex...

If Thursday didn't exist, so didn't one second ago. Time wouldn't exist at all..

Just video record a message made last Thursday, telling certain stuff. Yes. God could have created that. Like all geological data. But why should he? ...

If you travel at lightspeed through the galaxy for 8.673 years around the planetary system at near the speed of light and return on Earth, you will ha...

If an exact structure can't be described exactly, it doesn't exist. Otherwise you could describe it exactly.

Even the Moon is measured with virtual photons. Though they are almost real.

Yes, so it seems. But their energy is their momentum. A virtual photon can have independent values of both though. That's why it's called virtual.

Virtual photons can transfer momentum and energy. Independently (not on mass shell).

Exactly. The pre-inflationary Planck volume contained virtual preons only, fluctuating in time. The surrounding space is the constraint. If this const...

The basic level is more appropriate.

QFT describes particle fields. Shortly interacting. It doesn't describe bound states very well (unless very specific conditions are specified). So to ...

That depends where you draw the borderlines. On the deepest level individual preons, then quarks and leptons, then neutrons and protons, atoms, molecu...

The charges are conserved. They act as generators for the interaction fields and as coupling strengths to the virtual glue.

Why just symmetry?

Geometry and charge. Without mass.

That could because one speaks of values only, without yet a content.

All particles interact by coupling (by their charge) with the virtual particle field between them. So the up/down superposition, two simultaneous path...

I think that to properly interact, real particles have to tap into the pool (by means of their charge) of potential changes in motion. Because the mot...

Well, if a number of massless particles form a bound state, you have concentrated energy, i.e. mass.

A state of superposition remains superimposed without interaction. A superposition of spin up and down won't collapse by emission of a photon carrying...

That makes it even easier to flee or fight!

I think the pre inflation era was an era of a kind of time that is characteristic for virtual particles. They don't move forward nor backwards in time...

Superposition is collapsed by a virtual photon. An interaction is involved.

Or induced... I read about a group "pedophlle hunters" (most of whom probably unable to find a sex partner) luring alleged pedophiles with fake teleph...

I think only symbolism has no meaning in chemistry. There is reproduction, predatism (even in physics where the W and Z bosons eat good Goldstone ghos...

Maybe all particles are basically massless. Maybe them interacting renders mass. Massless virtual photons (a closed propagator line in a Feynman diagr...

Throw away the macroscopic objects in superpositions. In a superconductor, Bose-Einstein condensates, or other exotic states of matter, there are a lo...

In the standard interpretation of QM, this distinction is made and together with the fundamental probability this gave rise to many worlds interpretat...

I have never understood the "commotion" involved in Schrödinger's cat. As long as the state of superposition is undisturbed the cat is alive, so not i...

I litterally had such a function (a special function used in physics, in my hands. Made of papier maché, over one century ago, a archeounigeological t...
