Yes, but it's still all computer generators have. All computing is done with 0 and 1. Even quantum computing. And whatever it's based on it stays comp...

Yes. But unconsciously. It made me remember the name. Only when reading the page I saw it mentioned below. So I was informed unconsciously.
April 21, 2022 at 16:58
Exactly. So the fact that computer memory exceeds an artificial number of brain capacity is useless.
April 21, 2022 at 16:56
Which makes the comparison very non-trivial. In assigning a number to brain capacity, the usual definitions of information are used. But you can't use...

Okay. Your awake life.
April 21, 2022 at 16:42
And a computer chip?
April 21, 2022 at 16:41
A whole page in a physics book. By reconstruction. That's not how a computer memory works. That being said, her understanding of physics was great als...

No. Dreams are not remembered easily. They are just replays of memories, fantasies, etc. Even gods talking to you... Sometimes though you remember eve...

The point is, I didn't see it consciously.
April 21, 2022 at 16:33
As detailed as you see it.
April 21, 2022 at 16:31
So what? It's understanding that counts. Not if you can into detail remember. What you put into a computer's memory is just a static view from a certa...

That system is bound by the number of particles in the universe. The brain contains a whole life of memory. What more do you need? You can use a compu...
April 21, 2022 at 16:26
All of your life is engraved in your brain. The brain memory capacity is near infinite (not to be taken literally...).
April 21, 2022 at 16:23
I knew someone with such a memory. During my study, once in a while I studied together with a girl. You only had to show her a page for a small time a...

What I mean is, that it was on the bottom of my visual field already when it popped up. So my brain saw it. The details all fitted.
April 21, 2022 at 16:11
In the fundamental realm of being no. In the larger context of unidirectional time, cause precedes effect. But it could have been the other way round....
April 21, 2022 at 13:31
An event can be the cause as well as the effect. Events can cause themselves to be an effect or effect themselves to be a cause. It depends on the dir...

No worries. Just live life. Make the gods smile.
April 21, 2022 at 13:20
Things have to create themselves continuously in order to continue existing. If cause and effect are reversed is self destruction self creation then. ...

But believe what you like! Thanks for the discussion! :razz:
April 21, 2022 at 12:40
You're just as dogmatic as Dawkins. There is no escape!
April 21, 2022 at 12:37
Well, I saw a kid flying in a helicopter over a town. When back on the ground he drew the the helicopter sight in minitious detail.
April 21, 2022 at 12:33
Yes, that's true. But then you shift the problem to the backup chip.
April 21, 2022 at 12:31
I know how memory works. By reading, introspection, etc. you can get to know a lot! I just had an example. I forgot a word and was looking for it. On ...

He took some damned good deep breath of fresh oxygen!
April 21, 2022 at 12:09
:up: Why would self creation be impossible then? What's the asymmetry?
April 21, 2022 at 12:07
Yes you can overwrite. But then the other memory is gone. Memories in the brain work differently. By connection strengths. One bit in a memory chip is...

You can try to rationalize me, because you don't understand... to no avail. I stick with the gods story!
April 21, 2022 at 11:07
The point is that it's the worst kind of dogma there is. It projects thing in the real, material world which is just an assumption to fit the ideal. T...

Is arguing all you want in philosophy? Take 99% away from 10 000 000 000 000$. You are left with 100 000 000 000$. Take 99% away from 10 000$ and you'...

Yes. Clocks measure time. Put a clock next to an irreversible process (which are all real particle processes) and you can measure how many periods it ...

I don't think relativity requires a (semi) block universe. One physicist once declared us to be climbing along our worldlines, experiencing life on th...

Why it's called the God particle? Because it's supposed to give mass (which can be explained in a more natural way)?

Have you seen his other works? Out of this world! Seems he had an encounter with the gods, high up those mountains he bouldered!

It's a great image! Telling about everything about fairness, equality, equity (fairness?), sharing, etc. I don't even think the words are needed.

Wolfram is physicist also. Interesting stuff! I don't agree with it all, luckily! https://youtu.be/kC7xQBHQi6w
