There is the possibility that there inflate two spatially 3d universes into existence around the mouth of a spatially 4d wormhole. If matter is confin...

The standard Model is low energy approximation. I think it's pretty obvious that the basis particles are not basic at all. I asked the question about ...

What surprises me every time is why a point is called an event. Is causality more fundamental than time? If time is reversed effect becomes cause and ...

Ha! I have been watching this funny video recently. About the gradient of time and the squirl falling. On top of the squirk time moves faster than bel...

Did you invent those contours eating each other? The zn and ksi n? And the eta connecting them?
April 22, 2022 at 21:45
:up: Tried an analytical solution once of a particle falling in a non-uniform gravitational field, with varying g. It got larger and larger... The 32x...

In sincere humbleness I can do no other than agree. If we truly love the human being and want to fully explore our humanity we have to admit that all ...

From the think big article: "Quantum steampunk is a blend of quantum information and thermodynamics. It promises to revolutionize our understanding of...

In deep humbleness I dare to give a definition: information is matter being in formation. A gas has no particles in formation. The information content...

L Here you apply a dogma. It's a dogma, an unproven conjecture, that evolution progresses by accidental mutations of the genes. There is zero evidence...

What about the quark model or preon models? The knowledge of the quarks and their properties was known before they were actually observed, like preons...

It's gotta be admitted that Jagger went low on Negritta and high on Fool to Cry. Never heared Jimbo going high. On voice, that is. "Let's start a reli...

Still, the woven contours are fascinating! It's all there in the first lines. It's basically rotating vectors in the complex plane and filling in each...

Yes. But then the cause has become the effect and the effect the cause. Entropy will get smaller and smaller. The universe will end on a singularity. ...

Not sure if gathering knowledge follows a program.
April 22, 2022 at 17:42
This presupposes there is such a method to arrive at knowledge. But is there truly? Wouldn't we be able then to write a computer program, feed it with...
April 22, 2022 at 17:30
A neonatico must have knowledge of the world already when pushed out of the womb. A priori knowledge has to be theoretical, or else it wouldn't be a p...
April 22, 2022 at 17:20
:up: I think examples might help. And maybe from there give abstractions, generalizations, knowledge categories, or meta knowledge.
April 22, 2022 at 17:08
I fear so too. It's not exactly clear though what you mean about a priori knowledge and what kind of knowledge you refer to. You give a lot of definit...

Still, Mandelbröt, when he contemplated his set, emphasized that he thought he truly had dis/uncovered a truly, really existing feature of reality. So...

It's design, true. But you need to know in advance if your design won't crumble on construction. In other words, you have to know in advance, a priori...
April 22, 2022 at 16:32
I'm not sure if that's true in the first place, in my humble opinion. To recognize yourself in the mirror (without being scared...) you need some know...
April 22, 2022 at 16:21
Okay. Let's analyze. When you construct a bridge, don't you need a kind of premonition of how to do that? Don't you somehow construct it mentally firs...

You think the innate concept of quantity, undeniably present in animals, is an innate knowledge of math? Dunno. You can elaborate playing with quantit...
April 22, 2022 at 15:41
No. I'm saying that you gotta have a priori knowledge of something you gonna construct. If not, the plan is doomed to fail. How can you have knowledge...

Does that mean you think about it? This emoticon always confuses me. I rub my chin once in a while too, but why? I nibble a pen(cil) too. Kojak sucked...

If you mean by qualified a piece of paper showing I have a degree in bioengineering or neuroscience, no. But I have seen, read, and thought about it. ...

Ha! Yes. The infinitesimal idea. Infinitely close but still something. There will always stay a distance to zero. How can that be? If we approach zero...

Well, it seems pretty obvious to me if we cant even construct a neuron, then it’s pretty clear that we can't construct 80 billion interconnected of th...

In fact, I would write the opposite! If you know high school math you know it all, basically.

Nonsense. It's a fantasy which it will always stay. Can we construct a brain in a lab? No. The gods are far more real. What's the empirical evidence? ...
April 22, 2022 at 08:49
Of course the brain contains every instant of time an information content. Like I said, it contains a maximum of the the number of Planck areas on the...

What do you think about them then? All-in-one?
April 22, 2022 at 07:41
Unless time flows backwards. Then what we call effect gets ahead of cause. Tceffe->esuac. Or will the effect become the cause then?
