How does it work up there concerning exam questions? Who creates the questions? If I have created some nice physics questions, could I show them to au...

I felt into the same trap!

Not one: :up: Not two: :up: :up: But: :up: :up: :up: Maybe a bore for debate, but that's the way it is! Indeed, so many better things to spend time on...

"The Atheist Experience" Hellijuah!

Because I like beauty? Don't you like female beauty? :starstruck:

If this doesn't settle the matter, then we have to consider Bartricks' case a lost case. :up:

Yes. A first physical cause is logically necessary. This first cause, leading to the emergence of thermodynamic time, can't be itself a part of the ir...

So you offer a third option. A zebra can appear in your room. Now what?

There was a debate about an actress refusing established medical treatment of cancer. Sylvia Millecam. The books of Wilhelm Reich, inventor of the org...

Beware of the Watchtower material @"universeness" is offering. He tries to pray on everyone and converse everyone to atheism. His tactics are suspicio...

Nice try, but still, without the gods would be meaningless for me. All interesting things in live, like physics (which is nothing but investigating th...

Yes indeed. Florinda Donner wrote a great story about one particular small group of people in the rainforest. She seemed to have become one of them. S...

Agustin Fuentes seems nice: "A wide-ranging argument by a renowned anthropologist that the capacity to believe is what makes us human Why are so many ...

Haha! Great cartoon! :up:

What I often wonder is how anthropologist consider the stuff they consider in their study. Do they consider the worlds the cultural members live in as...

"Ah! A woman philosophizing!" So I thought when looking at the video. She just introduced the actual philosopher... :sad:

It's strange, mr. Universe. I have seen Carl Sagan pop up many times this week. I heard him mentioned in "The Big Bang Theory", in a breakfast show la...

Yes, that's true. We all have to I guess. I'm happy with the body and skin that I am. What more can we say?

Okay, being a good scientist, let's analyze this precious piece of language.. "I get it" That's the question. Do you really get it? A tough one! What ...

I think the shifts develop slow and continuous. From shapeless oneness of matter and mind, to the divide between the physical and the mind with bodies...

:up:

Before going to sleep logged in again shortly to give you the thump! :up:

I'm hungry for balls. If it lays eternally on a cushion, it's not safe with me around. And when I've eaten it, I cause myself laying eternally on it. ...

This actually can happen. A zebra can be appearing from the vacuum. In quantum mechanics there is a chance that this happens. So if you wait long enou...

That's because I thought you meant litterary creation. An egg being pulled out of the hat.

Interesting, and it's no doubt what happens in the progress of knowledge. But knowledge needs a reference frame, a perspective, or a filter, to constr...

Ah, the concept is coherent. Yes, I could have told you that from the start.

So the universe has created itself?

What's your proof then?

That simply is a conjecture. Do you have proof?

What went wrong? The emergence of mankind?

If the law described a force, is it the force that makes it all happening? And, what cause would the mechanism of force have. Are you determined by th...

Excuse me?

"Playing With Elementary Functional Integrals & Contours + Imagery"... Nice toys you play with. Of course, the first thing I tried was to establish a ...

Good one! :up:

Bedtime reading, for if you can't sleep. :yawn:

The "big" theories are presented, in general, with much more rigor than they actually posses. It's a PR trick. QFT is not defined mathematically rigor...

Is my will determined by determined physical processes in the first place? Yes. The will is a completely determined process. The particles making you ...

Precisely. The fate is to dilute towards the equilibrium energy state, which is the trigger for the next couple of universes to come into real being, ...

And that is not certain. You may hope so, but if they become conscious who says they wont destroy their makers and beat the Earth into submission? Kil...

Well, that's exactly what this thread is about. Imagination occurs in creatures constantly involved in monitoring, simulating, the world. Resonating w...

Hell, yes! "Mickey Mouse Meets Meta Mickey" :smile:

Yes, Alkis my man, I'm afraid too. And the people who take it seriously are even assumed scientists, clinging to the dream of a programmable mind emer...

Mmmm...Non. Imperfections need to be embraced. Only where due, you should look for it. In the modern era, perfection seems to be attended to mostly in...

Yes! Dreams are great! Let them try to program one! :wink:

You think your laptop is able to imagine?

I agree. But the narrative doesn't need fact based. The narrative can even shape the facts.

I said it can be based on knowledge. But not necessarily. That's a dogma. Well, actually no. It's a false claim.

That is, of course, because in your reality gods don't exist. There always have to be assumptions made against the paradigm. Science would be stuck if...
