Indeed. And your mind is trained to demand a kind of proof for a claim for which no such a proof can be given, and every proof for such a claim is red...
What I mean is that what we learn at school or universities is science. Math, physics, economy, chemistry, biology, etc. By law you have to go to scho...
The question is not physical but philosophical. The physical answer states that time measures growing entropy. The chance of gas particles in one corn...
Well, I've told it many times already. On physics forums which stick to the status quo or the convention, and here, where little help is offered, exce...
That depends on it's actual nature. I think everything can actually be known. Why not? From the big bangs to the mind. But why should we want to? The ...
The standard view on evolution, genes or memes trying to replicate, says the purpose of life is to do exactly that. Replicating genes or memes (which,...
I mean the random distribution of the momenta of real particles that are inflated from the vacuum. Well, maybe not all random as they all inflate alik...
I guess you mean "Undercover"? The guy playing the major role, Frank Lammers, plays the role of the silly family father in a commercial for a supermar...
My default position was that science has the answers. But it hasn't, in principle. So now my default position is science plus gods. They provide the r...
With me, it's exactly the opposite. I studied physics and was tought in the books that all can be explained by physical processes (the university was ...
:lol: What stones do you make? I do treetrunks, which I found out after painting and photographing, is really rewarding. Nature's, around the corner, ...
If you have learned a math formula, like a quadratic equation, that's because you saw one or invented one in your inner world. Both the physical world...
Are you my mirror image...? Damned, it looks so. Seems I read my own writing. Scarry! :grin: Speaking of time... Its almost three in the night here......
Here, I don't agree. A memory is an active reconstruction of an experience you had. Learning is creating the right substrate for memories to be recons...
You have 19 other laws? Interesting thoughts. I agree, more or less. The inner universe can simulate every process in the outer, physical world. We ca...
I am honest. With myself and with you. Children are honest. That's gotta do with science, not gods. If they don't wanna belief in gods, it's completel...
Yes. All processes are reversible on the small level. But try to reverse it all. You won't get it done! That's why the laws of thermodynamics are time...
No, it's not that I don't like references, but Alkis is right that a lot philosophical conversation is about what other philosophers say. Which is goo...
Yes. But Im not trying to convince you. If you dont believe it then it's up to you. If I would use my believe to teach you morals, it would be differe...
The clock can't be stopped. There is no configuration of objects that stays the same forever. The global arrangement of matter always moves in one dir...
Well, not for everything. Only for the existence of the universe... which is pretty much everything... I just can't imagine we are the result of coinc...
Sounds reasonable! I wished I could see it like that. Indeed, when all life has gone, time and space are gone. Only black silence... And then... what'...
The existence of the universe is sufficient proof for me. Science offers no reason, only mechanisms. The mechanisms and the material it offers can't p...
I don't make up claims about the ontology of the material universe. Science investigates that universe and material is bound to certain behavior. But ...
I make many scientific claims. They need evidence. But gods are no scientific claim. They don't need evidence. Believe would not be believe anymore wi...
You promote gods don't exist. Why should I prove them in the first place? But if you want. They cant show themselves directly. That would fuck up the ...
0 Yes. The clock to capture time with, is a human invention. But time itself, the irreversible natural processes flow from less to more global entropy...
It's reversed time. But why isn't this actually happening? It could have been like that. Just reverse all motion. Why was it set in motion like it has...
Yes you have. You consider them non existent, and just to be safe you say that might evidence show up you believe in them. Well, you need the evidence...
Yes, arguments from ignorance. The usual reply. I have heard the same thing from others. But the fact is, I argue from knowledge of the cosmos. I know...
Yes, I have read that a 1000 times already. But not being observed doesn't mean the virtual particles don't exist. The mathematical description of a v...
