You haven't beaten me! Apart from dogmatic use of primal fear or telling that Im unconvincing (which is not my intent).
April 25, 2022 at 18:48
No, you could reach billions of lightyears in 80 years.

A free electron moves in all possible ways. A straight line is one of them.
April 25, 2022 at 18:42
No. It means they don't exist in our universe. They can show themselves but dont exist here.
April 25, 2022 at 18:37
They can't do anything against gods. That's their frustration...
April 25, 2022 at 18:34
I mean if it goes in a straight line and returns.
April 25, 2022 at 18:32
If thrown up, it returns.
April 25, 2022 at 18:31
Gods don't exist in this universe.
April 25, 2022 at 18:30
But we can! We can fly to the observable edge of what we see and go behind the horizon. Like on Earth.
April 25, 2022 at 18:29
How can an electron not be at rest if it returns? It has to be at rest at some moment.
April 25, 2022 at 18:28
Which doesn't mean they don't exist. If you go there with the sol you'll get there! Infinite dough can get twice as big. Hmmmm...! :yum:
April 25, 2022 at 18:08
A phiton, eeeh, photon no. An electron or muon yes.
April 25, 2022 at 18:01
Which means an infinite space with infinite observable universes. It can. In infinite many regions, the regions can expand. Infinity can become twice ...
April 25, 2022 at 18:00
Infinite with bounds? I don't understand. Which doesn't mean infinite space cant expand. Eternal inflation posits an infinite space eternally inflatin...

:lol: "Dig safe"... 811... are you serious? Yes, you are! A priori knowledge?

There is more than one definition of gods. In ancient Greece there were a lot of them living on a mountain. Why are they part of mythology and God not...

"Model"? Ain't the standard model a model?
April 25, 2022 at 16:56
You're very cryptic now. What riddle I must solve, in my humble humbleness, your highness? What did I numb out?

That's exactly what is done in the scientific world. And I have encountered it directly. I have questioned the standard model with a preon model. Quar...

From Wiki: Dogma is a belief or set of beliefs that is accepted by the members of a group without being questioned or doubted.

A dogma is an unproven conjecture. And there are lots of them in science.
April 25, 2022 at 15:47
There is no causation involved in the first place, in the cushion example. The ball just lays on the cushion. An event has no cause or effect in itsel...

There is no link in the OP, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Same for, say, religion.

I think a perception is a construction. That's because the brain doesn't deal with it. Only thoughts I don't mind if you belief in some far away futur...

How can the proper lifetime of a muon be relative if it's the same for all? It's just defined as the time as measured in the restframe of the muon. Of...

Why shouldn't something infinite be able to expand?

Proper time is just an infinite small interval of time which is independent on the frame used. It's different from coordinate time, which is frame dep...

Indeed. But a lot of unproven dogma is used. And the same holds for religion. There are some pretty dogmatic people in the world of religion and scien...
