Which renders math reasonably effective.

That the total energy is not zero. Energy is motion. Half mass times velocity squared. Or mass times SoL squared.
June 01, 2022 at 12:18
Science doesn't know? What if the total energy in the universe is not zero? This is the case for gravity. The amount of matter energy indeed equals th...

Well, in a sense graviton field oscillations do the trick. Gravitons can travel in higher dimension. Which could be the reason it's so weak. But for a...

Maybe physics is philosophy. Or at least a part of it. Like metaphysics is a part too.

DE isn't worn by particles. Its a property of space that pushes matter away from each other. There are no force exchange particles involved. There is ...

Which can be discovered indeed My point is that dead matter seems to obey many mathematical structure. If this wasn't the case, chaos would rule supre...

An isolated piece of vacuum contains huge power. If you put two particles in it they get pushed away with huge force.

The universe might expand in an infinite higher dimensional space.
June 01, 2022 at 10:44
Yes. A lamda is added to the energy-mass-momentum tensor. The DE is an energy that doesn't dilute if space grows. If you put giant springs between all...

No. Concept and percept are not separable or even two really existing categories. The distiction is purely theoretical.

Then we're fucked! Do you really think consciousness can be programmed?
June 01, 2022 at 09:06
It does! It collapses wavef function in space and time. The past was in superposition untill we measured it. Remember Copenhagen...

Do we get fooled by AI?

What magma energy mining does is puncturing the crust. Can you imagine what happens, apart from taking energy? Dante's peak?
June 01, 2022 at 07:49
Returning to nature seems the only option left. Letting go of all unnecessary materialities. To say bye-bye to technology and material wealth is hard ...

Perception smoothes the grainy world structure. The water feels like a continuous stuff.

The prediction of the motion of a drop of water in a rotating spherical mass:
June 01, 2022 at 07:35
There is nothing wrong with that idea. It's even what a strict standard interpretation tells you. A conscious measurement collapses the wave function ...

I read this: "A couple of years later, I read a theoretical paper that predicted the effect that I had seen in my data. It wasn’t a monumental thing a...

An interesting approach to the superman was advocated by FM-2030. As one of the prominent figures in the transhuman movement, a term coined by Julian ...

Confirmed predictions are not a guarantee that the model you uses is right. Epicycle theory (or Fourier analysis, for that matter), was based on imagi...

I have never encountered a sign that announces me the end of space.

I wonder, is not the ordinary, neurotic, oblivious, lackluster, or mediocre, or Other, to prefer...?
May 31, 2022 at 12:42
No, of course not. That's stating the obvious. But a 100 years ago I could have used general relativity to predict unobserved phenomena. That's how it...
May 31, 2022 at 08:14
There is ONLY matter and spacetime. Spacetime and matter in it emerged once from an eternal basic structure. So no something from nothing. It's more l...
May 31, 2022 at 08:08
It's not "so what". That's how you interpret it. It's "that's how it is". If matter behaves regularly it comes as no surprise that math describes it w...

It's not I don't understand his irony. I think it's unreasonable. Why should it be unreasonable that math predicts anti particles? It's a logical, so ...

The universe is finite but without a wall or "the end" sign. There are no dead ends, though when you bump into a black hole your end is secure. You wi...

Position and momenta can be in superposition like spin. If position of one electron is measured then the global becomes local but the spin is still gl...

Why can't reality be non-local? Two features of a spatial extended system could be non-causally connected can't they? Why isn't this compatible with r...

It was Eugene Wigner who spoke of the "unreasonable effectiveness of math". Nature has dead and alive elements. Many deed phenomena (which doesn't mea...
