You not likey likey god? :lol:
April 19, 2022 at 10:46
You don't push gods back by placing them in an infinite past. They still have created it.

SU(3) accounts for the strong force. It's the question if S(2)×U(1) accounts for an electroweak force. But apart from this, where did the interacting ...
April 19, 2022 at 10:42
But the mechanism is different. I think every inflated universe backfires not within the current 3D universe, but, via a 4th space dimension through w...
April 19, 2022 at 10:35
:lol: Yeah, something like that. But how else could they have done it? The evolution of life can get along only if the thermodynamics is not in equili...

Kant didn't know relativity yet. He tried to grasp space and put gloves in it to argue for left-right symmetry. He spoke of relative and movable space...
April 19, 2022 at 10:21
My whole point is that science can't explain it like that. It can describe what's going on, in an evolutionary, chemical, neurological, cosmological, ...

Wibautstraat? "Next stop is "Wibautstraat"" Ugliest street of all, which makes it nice! Near UvA? Oh well, never mind... It's no chat site. But I saw,...
April 19, 2022 at 09:30
Something like that. They needed to create the right stuff. Particles and space to interact in. Can this stuff, evolving into intelligent life across ...

If the sequence is random, no such function exists. Each outcome (B or R) is not determined by a function. Isn't that the definition of a sequence of ...

Don't you involve god(s) in your question? What difference does it make if you push creation back to an infinitely far away past?
April 19, 2022 at 07:15
You mean the Bijlmer?
April 19, 2022 at 06:56
Then there is the teleological cause and effect duo. Mental structures chaotically fall towards the paths engraved in memory. These structures cause t...
April 19, 2022 at 06:24
The nature of the causal relation is another question.
April 19, 2022 at 05:59
Why not? It's all happening in the imagination.
April 19, 2022 at 05:57
That's the whole point of the closure. Eternal intelligence need not be created. Only the non-intelligent stuff of the universe.
April 19, 2022 at 05:53
It can be explained by the imprint of a previous ending of a previous universe. Imagine that our universe ends in a couple of black holes. That distri...
April 18, 2022 at 23:31
Because then it could be explained by science. In principle.
April 18, 2022 at 23:22
Don't get excited! Bad for your digestion tract...your true being!
April 18, 2022 at 23:10
I think that's because I think that I found the answer of the riddle of the origin of the universe, and the preceding, etc. The fact that it's all the...
April 18, 2022 at 23:05
I depends on the logic used. If your logic is that if two events A and B appear in conjunction every time they show themselves then they have or a com...
April 18, 2022 at 22:54
Think whatever you like. Views precede being. Only when there are views there is being. Without views no perspective, no limits, no boundaries, POV's,...
April 18, 2022 at 22:47
I'm always looking for what it all means and why we're here. Knowing that we're here for a reason, so not because what the scientific story tells us, ...
April 18, 2022 at 22:43
Because it's not intelligent. It needs intelligence, call it intelligent design, to create the spark. The spark can't explain itself. I think there ar...
April 18, 2022 at 22:36
No he doesn't believe in inflation. Which leaves the question, how do virtual particles come into real existence. He claims that the circles are remna...
April 18, 2022 at 22:27
Particles are local, and the variables behind their motion, the wavefunction guiding them, non-local.
April 18, 2022 at 22:06
"A non-local hidden variable theory would just say that there are hidden variables but they are non-local. Such a theory wouldn't get around Bell's in...
April 18, 2022 at 21:47
That's an opinion indeed. But theism is far MORE in giving meaning and reason for existence and life. What's the meaning or reason of life according t...
April 18, 2022 at 21:40
How does he explain phase space?
April 18, 2022 at 21:30
But a big bang doesn't need concentrations of photonic energy. It needs concentrations of inflationary energy. Those come in at the cause of the unint...
April 18, 2022 at 21:28
That's not what I'm postulating. I postulate no transfer of information between two localities. I postulate one simultaneous (in the rest frame) trans...
April 18, 2022 at 20:56
Gods are, in my humble and respectful opinion, as physical as Earthly life. They did create life in their image, oui?
April 18, 2022 at 20:50
If the hidden variables have a non-local nature than the can collapse two entangled states, spatially separated, simultaneously, like a causal fork. N...
April 18, 2022 at 20:43
No. That's exactly the point of gods. They give closure to the infinite regress. Gödel's IT applies to physical laws also. No model, stuff, or laws ca...
April 18, 2022 at 20:26
I don't mean wormholes. Space itself is the connection.
April 18, 2022 at 20:19
That doesn't provide a reason to live. At least, not for me. I can live without gods. But when it comes to the meaning or reason of life, I don't acce...
April 18, 2022 at 20:17
Time is not involved. There is no causal interaction between the electron spins. Space connects them globally without information going instantaneousl...
April 18, 2022 at 19:55
Well, it could be that hidden variables constitute space. This would establish the connection between gravity and QM. So the space between and around ...
April 18, 2022 at 19:31
How does he explain matrices? I'm curious. If it equals mine.
April 18, 2022 at 19:05
The test just doesn't rule out non-local variables. It doesn't matter if you include the observer or not. If there was an entangled pair of electrons ...
April 18, 2022 at 18:44
If the current matter in the universe turn to photons in the future, the energy of the photons dilutes more and more. The universe will not contain an...
April 18, 2022 at 18:36
What's Y? Say in the context of a face of a die, X?
April 18, 2022 at 18:13
I think that the need for gods is not always involved in explanations of natural phenomena. There are other reasons (so not moral or explicative) reas...
April 18, 2022 at 17:50
Free will has to be deterministic. If not, it's a free will subject to the whims of chance, which could be free I guess, but it would be an undetermin...
April 18, 2022 at 17:18
You have said this many times already. That god comes from nothing but primal fear. That's not true. I know it's not so for me. Well, maybe fear of th...
April 18, 2022 at 17:11
I think he did. It are computations behind the scene causing things.
April 18, 2022 at 16:56
The it from bits got it the wrong way round. For example, it states the universe is a simulation that runs before our eyes. For example it says the ha...
April 18, 2022 at 16:55
General relativity actually can be applied to the quantum scale and directly leads, in combination with quantum fields, to Hawking radiation. The virt...
April 18, 2022 at 16:46
Then the question pops up: what computes? In a sense I think you're right. I think the gods calculated how the particles should behave in order for li...
April 18, 2022 at 16:01
Why it implies a block universe? That's what we project on it. Rigid iron world lines with motors in them pulling all particles along in the predeterm...
