You are free to believe what you like. But I dont let myself be fooled.

You are serious? Even with caoital M: Multiverse...What's the evidence of a multiverse? There are simpler explanations for QM. Occam's shaving gel tel...

Most laymen, like you or @"universeness", take what is told by "the expert" or the "the pro", for fact. "They know, they know, they studied it". Not r...

Obviously, @"javi2541997"! Scarry... :death:

Don't believe anything they tell you. The belief in many world is exactly the same as belief in gods.
May 07, 2022 at 10:33
I really don't give a luck what Tegmark thinks. It's a nice easygoing guy, but completely delusional and lost. His many worlds and real objective exis...

The natural laws are the rules according to which matter moves and interacts. Matter doesn't behave in random ways.
May 07, 2022 at 09:50
I subscribe to the two universes view. Our brain (when you look to the material part of it, so from outside) can simulate all universal processes. Be ...

A culture based on science and technological progress is doomed, by the very laws of nature it so eagerly wants to discover, to collapse. Which would ...
May 07, 2022 at 09:28
No. That's what physics or science is about. Not metaphysics. As the name implies, it's what comes after physics (as if physics is that important, qui...
May 07, 2022 at 09:10
Aleph0 is countable. The number of big bangs is infinite. The times in all big bangs go from zero to infinite (or very large time). So an infinity of ...

Why needs time to be created? Thermodynamic time is an emergent property. Before TD time, another kind of time existed, without cause and effect.
May 07, 2022 at 00:17
By the way, the only thing they have to create is virtual particles rotating in spacetime. An infinite 5d spacetime. Or better, two pieces of them con...
May 07, 2022 at 00:09
What do you mean here?
May 07, 2022 at 00:06
Well, aleph0 is countable. The continuum is aleph1
May 07, 2022 at 00:03
Yes. But that's no problem for gods. Maybe they created the first bang a zillion big bangs ago. The matter and spacetime structure to make serial bang...
May 07, 2022 at 00:01
Antimatter could do the trick. It's a bit expensive though: about $62.5 trillion a gram. And you need a few ounces...
May 06, 2022 at 23:51
Penrose's cyclic model and the oscillating branes resemble serial big bangs too, but offer no real cause for inflation. They take it for granted. If b...
May 06, 2022 at 23:38
Indeed! Another strange coincidence today. Two large gas explosions, one in Cuba and one in Spain. When are new experiments at CERN to be expected? I ...

"Sit, and focus!" "I tell you something, stick tha numbers on your p$n$s! Oh no, to big a number!"
May 06, 2022 at 22:32
Yeah, the only thing computers are good in is hyperfast execution of programmed material. Massive amounts of zeroes and ones. A material representatio...
May 06, 2022 at 22:27
Haha! Who knows. If you go fast enough you can reach billions of lightyears in 80 years. Only the CMBR poses a velocity limit.
May 06, 2022 at 22:07
But I have a description. And for what happened long before the big bang too. And after ours. The whole history of periodic big bangs is natural. And ...
May 06, 2022 at 22:05
That's exactly the kind of science I look for. All beings, all kinds of life, have evolved between the heat of the Sun at day and the cold of the void...
May 06, 2022 at 21:55
:lol: Enthusiastic as ever!
May 06, 2022 at 21:06
Well, the universe needs a reason and a kind of sacredness. A non-scientific reason, since I have a scientific description from beginning to end. I do...
May 06, 2022 at 20:18
Every process in the world leaves traces in body and brain. But only in a living body with brain they come alive. You can't see Einstein's field equat...
May 06, 2022 at 20:10
Now that's the first convincing argument from your side! :rofl:
May 06, 2022 at 19:53
What you mean by justified? Evidence? The universe and life in it is evidence. The gods are no superman fantasies. And who knows divergent QM observat...
May 06, 2022 at 19:51
Of course it's speculation. So what? It offers reason for the material universe. Only for claims about the material universe, inside of it, evidence i...
May 06, 2022 at 19:48
Then where are the data stored and how?
May 06, 2022 at 18:47
The right coupling strengths of particles, which determines interaction, and are just numbers and determine the relative strengths of vertex factors, ...
May 06, 2022 at 18:42
You do rely on magic just the same. Without an angle, perspective, frame, reference, vision, subject, etc. the objective reality has no real shape yet...

May 06, 2022 at 18:13
But the computer does! It computes big X times as fast as we do. On big Y times as many data we do. Simulating intelligence. The brain is a universe i...
May 06, 2022 at 18:09
Just try to imagine how particles, virtual ones, or real ones, and the space the move in (which can be made of the hidden variables of QM) can come in...
May 06, 2022 at 18:01
The brain doesn't compute. It simulates. The mind computes.

Isn't a computer Go world champion?
May 06, 2022 at 17:26
Memories of the future he traveled to, like us, and then returning to the past? Just travel to the past? That's difficult, AS. But out of curiosity, d...
May 06, 2022 at 17:24
Which by the way means we will never go to heaven! We're doomed for eternal recurrence in every big bang! But every time differently.
May 06, 2022 at 17:10
Well, I can account for that too (Im terrible!). We can know the gods and heaven by looking at all life. All living beings have a counterpart as god.
May 06, 2022 at 17:07
Yes, it's a special pleading. Non-intelligent matter, like elementary particles and space, etc. need intelligences to exist. Why should eternal intell...
May 06, 2022 at 17:05
Well, maybe the gods can influence the hidden variables, as proposed in one interpretation. The chance-like character of QM offers a means for that.
May 06, 2022 at 17:00
Not sure I follow you here... You mean not everything can be known?
May 06, 2022 at 16:55
Because they are different from the material universe. They are eternal intelligences, without the need for explanation. At least, not for me. BTW, Im...
